Roaming Through Europe
Austria Continued 06/23/2010
From daughter Sarah's house, we drove one day to the highest mountain in the eastern Alps, called Grossglockner. The drive was about 3 hours each way, but it was worth it to see this mountain and to drive the high alpine road that had more than 30 switchbacks! Although we were often above the cloud, unfortunately we did not see the summit as a result. The remainder of our stay in Austria was spent just relaxing and visiting Sarah and her partner Jens (as well as 4 lovely 7 week old kittens, named "toffee", "moan a lot", "moan a little" and "sweetie"). Vivienne is definitely ready to welcome a cat at home again! Our last evening we enjoyed a delicious dinner in a local village named "Strassburg" As it is still white asparagus season, we all had a fantastic cream of asparagus soup, the best Alan and Vivienne had ever tasted! Vivienne had to have trout, as it is one of her favourites, especially because the Austrians and Germans prepare it very well! Comments Comments are closed. |
