Austria.
September 1997 - Tyrol, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Grossglockner, Zell am See, Hintersteinersee, Tyrolean Evening and Munich Beer Festival (See 'Germany').
Strange Happenings: Tinkerbell Cows hiding in the fog in the Tyrol. Also, the antics of an acquaintance, a very distant acquaintance I assure you (no, not me), who decided to go dancing with men wearing leather shorts during an Austrian Tyrolean evening took some believing. I'm getting very worried about him.

Salzburg
and a long hard climb ahead... |

| Hintersteinersee, near Scheffau in the
Austrian Tyrol
From Scheffau, go to Soll, turn left and continue a few miles up the hillside, go through the trees at the very top. I and my friends spent a full day walking around this lake (listening to yet more Tinkerbell Cows). Oh, and the number of times I said 'Gruss Gott' to Austrians walking along the lakeside paths, well, put it this way, I lost count. Seriously though, it was a brilliant day and there was a nice little tavern at one end, where we stopped for a deliciously large beer and a bite to eat. And below is Beefy at a picnic area next to Hintersteinersee. |

Grossglockner Glacier
Truly a natural wonder of Europe.

Local looking for Schnapps.
One of the locals calls by to see what those strange tourists are up to. Sorry mate, I haven't brought any Schnapps with me today. |
 |
| Innsbruck, Olympic Ski Jump and
the "Goldenes Dachl" Canopy in the very scenic Herzog
Friedrich Strasse.
In English, that means "Golden Roof". Thanks to "Barbara" from Austria for answering a question, that has been puzzling me for quite some time. |

| The Austrian Alps from the Air Taken on the way to Naples... ...and no corny jokes about a climber waving from the Austrian Alps here. Nah, he's in the right hand picture, which are actually of the Swiss Alps! |
