Having a wonderful time in St.Gilgen

We are staying in the best guesthouse in the world. We have the most beautiful views in the world. We get to drive around to beautiful lakes and cute villages and eat wonderful food. We get fresh baked rolls and fresh milk every morning.  We get to get together with friends to talk story. We can video chat with friends in America.

For Manfred's big 8-0 birthday, our friends took us to a little lake where we walked about a kilometer to a little restaurant on the water's edge. There was no road there, no cars, no car sounds, no motor sounds whatsoever. The food was wonderful.

Yesterday we drove to Hallstatt, most enjoyable.

Today, we drove to Salzburg to reserve our train tickets for the trip to Rotterdam to catch the boat. We are going 1st class on high-speed trains, so reservations are important. Last time we didn't reserve and we had to travel 2nd class (Yuk!).  The countryside was rainy and foggy, misty and mysterious, quite lovely.
