No hiking boots or blister bandaids today !! No deadlines or mud ! No ascending or descending !! Just total slacking off, reading, catching up on emails and eating large amounts of Austrian calories {and loving every one} without a second thought.
We were booked for 2 nights at this wonderful alpine gasthof and it has made a marvellous halfway rest point. Below is the view from my window - a childrens farm and a dog shower room !!
Below is the view inside the room !! Very hunting lodge-esque !!
We have met up with others doing our hike both unescorted like us and escorted groups too. It has also come to light that our trip notes are 4 years old and that may well account for us standing at byways and bridges looking totally nonplussed as various landmarks mentioned in the notes have been built over or signage replaced. The German hikers have the new notes but they are as yet not translated into English so the likes of us have to just hope for the best a bit.
That just makes it more of an adventure when your directions are out-of-date ;-)
Man, that Austrian pancakes looks DELICIOUS! :-P

What wonderful photos. I've been in that 'egg' shops - and have several for my Christmas tree. I hope the weather is clearing for you. The last time we were walking in the Alps it was cool but sunny... We stayed fairly high and did all the local walks. I miss all those gorgeous mountain flowers.
As to the pups..... you;ll get them back in line LOL
