Next Up: Austria

Juergen drove us to the train station this morning and we said our goodbyes (temporary - we'll see him again in Berlin). The two hour commute east was a nice one. Everything opened up as we left the busy city and entered the German countryside. Lots of green! Grass, hills, forests. Little picturesque villages speed by as we made our way to Salzberg, Austria, right near the Germanic border. From the central train station in Salzberg, we took another quick train to a small town just a few minutes outside the city called, Berg. We had a 10 -minute walk up a hill until we found our place, Haus Christine. This place is awesome! Up on a hillside it has an amazing view looking down on Berg and in the distance, the Alps. The building itself is also great. Lots of green lawns, an indoor glass-in closed dining area, and a sweet deck with that view. It also has gotten much hotter than it was in Munich. Once we got in, we walked down into town and grabbed some food, which we brought back up to the house and ate on the deck. We spend the rest of the day on the deck. +1 for Austria.

The reason this post isn't accompanied with pictures is that the internet here is really weak and if you try and do anything more complicated than text it cries. There should be some new photos in the PHOTOS tab above however. Emphasis on 'should'. I make no guarantees. As I said, the internet and stuff.
