| Destination Austria |
My hosts' son appeared this morning, spoke some English and keen to practice so we had a great chat about travel, their business (being an 'Agriturismo' they also have a farm) and how hard it is in the heat and no irrigation (too expensive). The hottest and driest it's been in 15 years.
So that and the lovely breakfast with fresh fruit made for a good start. The drive towards Austria was stunning, no other word to describe it. The Alps rise sharply and every which way I looked was beautiful. I tried to stop a couple of times for photos, but quite hard to capture. At one point I was between a couple of tunnels, looked left and went, wow, picked upmy camera and just pointed and clicked before going into the next tunnel(nowhere to stop) and it turned out great.

At one point I stopped, took some pictures and thoroughly enjoyed it being 27 degrees and so pleasant to get out of the car. I was all philosophical and thinking, I may be getting poorer every day (well, I am, spending and not earning), but I am really getting richer, for all the things I am seeing.
So, all happy thoughts and experiences.

Found my accommodation straight away, a sweet little apartment, kitchen and everything. Clouds forming, rumbling, thunder, lightning and next hail! Honest to goodness hail. A nice cool 26 degrees for a walk later, pleasant change indeed.
