Andy,
I haven't booked anything yet but we'll probably be going on Thursday 1st July as well. We will more than likely be catching the fast ferry from Portsmouth (to Caen), as we live about 15 minutes from the ferry port.
Can you recommend a good route through the Alps? My intention is to make our way down to the Munich area (there is a farm where we have stayed before which we will probably use again), after which we will make our way to Garmisch and then after that I'm not sure. We need to find somewhere to stay not too far from Garmisch, after which we will be heading back through switzerland/France on Monday 5th and catching the ferry back on Tuesday 6th.
Any suggestions of routes or accommodation gratefully received!
Paul
