Towards Austria

I meant to mention this before but I guess I was in Denial. My point and shoot died back at the Bimmer Museum. It was one of those slow painful deaths, pretty hard to watch! Right now the lens is open and out and refuses to go back in( and I can't turn it on). So the pictures you've been seeing on fb are all taken by Javier. All things considered I think he's doing a great job!!

Two days ago( I know I'm behind), we left Munich and drove to Austria; Salzkammergut, a town outside of Salzburg. The weather continued to throw a hissy fit and so it was fairly deary outside. At times we had to resort to crooning to Adele to make us feel better, haha. However, we quickly realized that Austria is pretty despite the lame-ass weather. No matter where you look, the scenery is just breathtaking. We tried to imagine the same views on a clear day ( personally it would have been too much to handle). 

So there I was, making my way through Salzburg when we notice a cop right on my ass with his blinkers on. The phrase I was shit scared comes to mind. You see, Austria requires an international license to drive. I didn't have one. So I switched over to the right lane, getting ready to pull over and giving myself a pep talk. The cop drove right past me! I mean, I wasn't disappointed but what just happened? My guess, he had bigger fish to fry and I was clearly cramping his style driving at the speed limit. Deciding not to push my luck any further, I handed over the reigns to Lindsey.

Salzkammergut was the cutest town I've seen. It surrounds a humongous lake and the town itself was one of those quaint/charming ones with its narrow roads, small churches, lakeside cafes and expensive stores. We stopped by a cafe for some refuel before heading to Vienna. We did see Mozart's mom's house at S; I'm assuming little M lived there as a kid.

The rest of the 3 hr drive to Vienna was wet! Not very eventful, but we made it to my cousin's in one piece. 

We were greeted by my cousin's wife and kid., while we waited for my cooze to get there from the airport while we were talking and catching up, Lisa (my cousins wife) was making dinner. Super fluffy pizza was our dinner accompanied with salad and Austria's famous wine; red wine at Zweigelt! 

That was 2 days ago! More updates on Vienna to come very soon!

Much Love as always
