Pleased to hear that .... we're there in 5 weeks time

You probably aready know, but the showers are token operated and cost €1 for 5 minutes. Also there is a Plus Supermarket (Netto owned), which is again another 15 minute walk in the opposite direction from the Zoo and it's cheap as chips for food, rather than the really dear on site minimarket.
Robin,
It sounds like you had a good trip.
We were also down in Italy last week, you are right the Brenner is not as bad as I remembered.
When you talk about the road from Innsbruck to München are you talking about the one that goes past the two lakes (Kochelsee & Wachelsee) or are you talking about the climb up the A8 Autobahn (Irschenberg)?
At Lake Guarda we stayed at Bardolino (Camping Europa - 33 yoyos at night).

I don't recall going past two lakes, and the A8 rings a bell. I remember seeing a sing for the "Wankbahn" cable car and had a wee chortle, lol. It was a slow steep climb from Munich, but the descent on the other side was steep as, heading into Innsbruck. Had several of those escape routes for lorries.
€33 is quite steep. We thought Le Chin Gris in France was steep at €31 plus tourist tax

Leaving Dieppe at 4am so plan to get to lake Garda Sunday - one overnight stop, do they have the aires de service in Germany/Austria/switzerland like what they do in France?
The duty is charged when you get to the customs border if you haven't allready got one. Didn't find any Aires on the Swiss motorways and we used the Service areas for overnight stops, etc. Some of the Swiss motorway sections were bad .......so bad we came back a different route!
Apart from the condition of the surface, pot holes, two lanes sections, M25 style traffic jams, and a three hour crawl to get to the tunnel at 3 a.m in the morning they ain't too bad but its a bloody cheek making you pay to use em! We were heading from Basel to Italy and it was horrendous. Never been keen on Switzerland, some nice views of snow capped mountains but that's it!
