Bear Land, Near Bludenz, Austria

We've moved to Braz, near Bludenz (Western Austria, close to Lichenstein, Germany and Switzerland).

Found a nice site after arriving at a campsite which I'd booked in March and told there was a mistake and they had no spare pitches! It ended up we felt we had a lucky escape from that site as the owner was very odd, it was jam packed with caravans bumper to bumper and in the middle of a built up area.

Had a terrible night with Samantha waking up every 2 hours then up for the day at 0430, not easy in a caravan I can tell you!! We felt very fragile the next day!

The Austrians are very ingenious in finding uses for their cable-cars in summer  (apart from hiking) and in the valley we were staying was Barenland (Bear Land). After traveling in a cable car filled with a whole family of teddy bears we arrived in Bear Land at over 2000m above sea level. Alex and Charlie loved it... it was basically a large adventure playground with great swings, a lake with rafts and a "dunking see-saw" which was the highlight.

Close to the campsite is a very cool swimming pool with views over the surrounding Alps and free to use with our 'guest card'.

To finish off a great day we cooked our dinner over the fire.
