Salzburg Lake District–Austria

 We awoke to a cold morning with white frost covering everything and a layer of ice over the hymermobile. Steven got up and walked down to the edge of lake Traunsee. There was steam rising from the comparatively warm water.  Now and again a boat would become visible through the rising mist with a man already out fishing.

The air temp had warmed up to about –1. Trish braved the cold about an hour later and the temp was about 2 deg The frost was still thick on the ground however the mist was clearing to reveal another bright sunny day ahead.

Lake Hallstalter – Austria

It was difficult to park in the small town located between the mountain and lake so we stopped just outside the town beside lake Hallstalter See just outside Hallstatt there was still ice on the bench so we stood and looked at the view for a while.

We drove in a loop around the lake and over the mountain pass and down into Bad Aussee
