Friday 28th
Today was drive on Grossglockner mountain pass, about 48 Ks . A toll of 36 euro for the pleasure... not sure how much pleasure in an underpowered little peugot! Very popular road trip, we saw a group of porsches gt3s- English rego- all traveling together - doing it before they fall off the perch by the look of them. I guess it's a man thing. Grossglockner is the highest mountain in Austria... the top viewing stop shows the Pasterze Glacier in front of it and the scenery the entire length of the road is absolutely magnificent.
Settled on Lienz - a v tres chic Austrian Alps town -for the night, had a passeggiata around the town, quick look at the 12th century schloss and time for tea. Nice tea in hotel - also tres chic
