The wrong arm gesture!

Saturday 20th October 2012.

Well, staying here at Bad Fussing has been lovely. It is an area that is very popular with the German people that come to visit the numerous health spas and wellness clinics dotted throughout the area. Bad Fussing is a very clean and modern town laid out with plenty of facilities to relax and get well!. The local authorities leave lots of easy chairs dotted throughout the town are where you stop to relax and read your newspaper watching the world go by. We quickly realised however that the average age of people milling about was about 65yrs and that made us feel so young, Bradley was in his element as many stopped to admire him and give him a friendly pat. One local man stopped to talk to Bradley and on realising we were British he promptly stood talking to us about everything for 20 minutes to practice his English which was very good. 
Lorraine had been suffering from the injury to her upper left arm and shoulder so after a chat with the local Apotheke (Pharmacist) we were pointed towards one of the many local Arxtpraxis (Doctors). The very nice lady Doctor took some time and rightly diagnosed the injury where a jab first took place in the buttocks followed by a course of tablets and this time with detailed instructions on keeping the arm moving with diagrammatic instructions of gymnastik (Physiotherapy). These 'gymnastik' procedures can be done whilst walking along so as we walk there is no better time to keep up the therapy. The following afternoon after a walk we were walking back into the campsite when Lorraine was going through her gymnastik's and I noticed a few not so friendly glances coming our way. I looked across at Lorraine and suddenly realised as she was marching along, elevating her left arm skywards at 45 degrees with hand and fingers pointing forward it exactly resembled the famous salute once given by a not so nice German leader of the last war who's name began with A' and had a tiny moustache!!.(she might join the ministry of funny walks!). We hurried into the motorhome and shut the door not venturing out again till dark.. lucky we were leaving the next day!.

We have now arrived or rather stumbled across a lovely little campsite beside the Chieming Lake (Chiemingsee). It is one of Europe's largest natural nature reserves where 30,000 (who counts them all?) birds migrate from all over the world and we can hear them too!. It is very peaceful and the afternoon coffee has now been replaced by the finest Bavarian beer. We also saw one of the best sunsets we have seen and photos can be seen here. 

Weather reports indicate possible snow in the next few days so we want to move on tomorrow further west and away from the Alps to lower ground around the Black Forest

Auf Wiedersehen
