Visiting friends in Chiemsee

On the way back we visited our friend Ingrid who lives near Lake Chiemsee – a very pretty area in Bavaria. Unfortunately it rained every day but in between the downpours we were able to go for a swim in one of the nearby lakes and it was lovely to spend time catching up.

Stayed for a few days with a friend in her wonderful house by lake Chiemsee near Munich.

Lake Chiemsee

Cycled round the lake and got the paddle ferry back, swam in one of the many lakes in the area and ate delicious food.

Now on our way to Luxembourg, staying in a camperstop in a little town which turns out to be the shoe capital of Germany!
