• Planes, trains and automobiles

    18 августа 2024 г., Австрия ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

    A long day of travelling by almost every form of transport (saved boats for the next day!).
    Early start leaving home at 5.30 but all went well with nothing delayed so arrived in Munich just after 11 (apparently plane had to avoid thunderstorms on the way.).
    The weather in Munich was wet but didn’t really affect us as we were undercover the whole time in the station.
    Found our train to Salzburg easily and although it was quite a long wait, the train left on time, to the surprise of our Austrian hosts, who have a deep mistrust of Deutsche bahn at the moment.
    So arrived in Salzburg around 3.45 and the taxi sent by the hotel was waiting. About 40 minutes later we arrived in Strobl at the Hotel Bergrose.
    Still over cast and slightly wet but Richard and I decided to walk into the town to stretch our legs and get our bearings. Toby didn’t come as he was very tired having got up super early and as always having been up till late the night before.
    We found the lake and the boat timetable as well as lots of little restaurants for the nights that the hotel is closed (Monday and Tuesday for rests! )
    Food at the hotel was lovely but the portions were huge. Need to share some things next time.
