OK I go away on vacation and everyone runs away to a new CC. I guess I have a lot of catching up to do.
I just got back yesterday so am still living in German time which is 6 hours in advance of mine here in Toronto.
3 weeks of wet weather - beautiful country but was it ever cold and wet during this visit. One day we even had very light snow mixed with the rain. The area I went to last time was blanketed with snow so I'm glad we chose a different area this time. Our last 3 days were beautiful weather though.
I took a bus tour one day and ended up in Austria where I took a gondola up one of the mountains. I jumped into the first available one and figured others would join me but I went up (and up and up and up) all alone - fairly freaky.
It was snowing on top and there was about 6 inches of snow laying there already. I started laughing when I saw the chairlifts for skiers that go up even higher - I thought I was at the top already and there was more to go (it wasn't running however). An innocent bystander was waylaid to take my picture so that I could prove I was in the snow in May/June.
I'll post a link to my pictures when I get them set up.
Glad to be back though. It is somewhat stressful being where few speak the same language. They were all so pleasant.
