Austria, dirndl capital of Europe

And so we arrived at Salzburg airport at 9ish local time and bought bus tickets to Hallstatt for €15 each. Di had a bit of paper that said go to stop C and catch a #2. Stop C told us we had 21 minutes to wait so we did. I have learnt to obey paper and bus stops unquestioningly. #2 took us to Salzburg Station where paper said go to see Stop F and get a #120 which would arrive in 17 minutes and get us to Bad Ischl after 90 minutes. Which it did. Swiss Railways are sloppy compared to Austrian buses. After a 43 minute wait the #532 took us somewhere else that I had no need to remember as Paper knew. Then #533 took us to Hallstatt.

Where it was raining.

We went and had a definitely non-keto lunch in a restaurant in the pretty Town Square, and mocked the many Japanese tourists for their strange choices for photos. Austria is better than New England for leaf peeping.

Then we trundled to our apartment and were pleasantly surprised by my excellent choice from Booking.com

Of the 145 TV channels only Spongebob Squarepants was in English, so we watched some earnest Austrians discussing something. Then crashed early.
