Garmisch Partenkirchen - 7th to 8th of July 2011

Nearly 2 hours on the bus around the base of the alps from Fussen to Garmisch Partenkirchen. Originally two towns, they were forced to join by Adolf Hitler for the 1936 winter olympics, and remain so today. Another town that you feel would be absolutely buzzing in winter - very much the place to be seen by well to do Munich-ers.

We arrived late afternoon and having had a very early and busy morning in Fussen weren't up to doing much. Thankfully there isn't much to do as such, other than wander around both town centres, stopping for beers along the way.
We ended up in an awesome German bar complete with oompah loompah band and dancing - we find the bars recommended in the lonely planet a bit hit and miss, but this one was top notch - it felt very German and we looked like the only tourists in there.
