May 28th
Travel day again as we are about half way between Salzburg and Vienna.
This morning we did a tour to The Eagle’s Nest in the German alpine not far from the Austrian border. We had another great local guide who is also a local historian. He had many stories to tell about people who came on a previous tour and had family who were involved in capturing the facility. One had seen a piece from the marble fireplace in the reception room in her uncle’s home.
The ride up and down the mountain on winding roads provided great views of villages below, although it was rainy and overcast.
We finished the day in Vienna with a visit to a traditional wine garden. Food is served family style and our whole group enjoyed dinner options like roast pork, sauerkraut, and wiener snitzle. Wine was served and of course apple streusel for dessert. Tomorrow we are off to Venice
