Jaufenpass and penser joch pass

I'd forgotten to mention,  after leaving Fussen and just entering Austria there was a very high and long walking suspension bridge over the road. Worth taking a look next time ( highline179).
We've just got out of the pool after setting our pitch at the third campsite we tried.  The first was full, the second on their hols. 21 degrees at the top of the 2 passes we took today.  As we dropped into bolzano it touched 33. With an odd bit of rain and moving towards Merano  it is 28.
The scenery on today's trip was fantastic.  So big vast, sheer,  stunning.
Last night we pitched at St Leonardo in Passiria and as we ate out on the covered balcony of a Pizza place, we witnessed a torrent and thunder storm. Then in the tent around midnight there was lots of flashing and banging.  The heavens opened.
We were still on dry land in the morning,  up at 7am then out 'strolling' up the adjacent river after breakfast. Suprised to find an excellent path we went to Moos, coffee and cake.  In the middle of the village there was an option to purchase fresh milk from a vending machine.  Back to camp , around 6 miles round trip.
