However we were again welcomed warmly at breakfast. Everyone is dressed in Bavarian dress there are stuffed birds Boars heads Deerrsquos antlers adorning the walls and Clare even had a ldquoMr Pheasantrdquo to talk to though he didnrsquot talk back like the original one at home.The water in the car is a little down on the last time we looked ye http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Germany/Bavaria/Oberammergau/blog-328178.html It never rain but it pours Literally metaphorically.We left home yesterday evening about 2100 as there had been problems all day with the channel tunnel consequently we arrived at Dover at 2305 for a 0200 ferry.

Steaming hot showers and donning our warmest clothes took the chill off. We trotted down to Frhstck at 815. Once again we were treated to an awesome German breakfast buffet.
