Austria, Germany, Austria

Today went fast and we covered a lot of ground.

we started in Austria, this is the view from the car window while we were driving along

We veered breifly into Germany to see The Kehlsteinhaus, The Eagle's Nest. Hitler's opulent 50th birthday present from the Nazi party where he entertained friends and dignitaries. It's now a restaurant high in a rocky outcrop near the town of Brechtesgaden. Although we didn't get to the town, (just not enough time for everything) seeing the Eagles Nest was a real treat for us because this area is closed in winter, which the only time we have ever travelled to Austria to date.














 


Then we wandered back into to Austria to show our beloved Grundlsee to our beloved Wendy and Tony, but first cake lunch and scenery in Bad Aussee




And now we have confirmed what we have long suspected, that Grundlsee is beautiful no matter the time of the year.








it was hard to drag ourselves away but Vienna was calling.
