We're both still somewhat recovering from jet lag, PVD (post-vacation depression), and PVTDs (post-vacation to-do's). You really don't want to see the pile of dirty laundry I have to do. And I thought the Alps were large mountains...
To help with the PVD, though, I'm taking a break from yard work (as Brendan mows... haha), laundry and sorting mail to start my favorite of the PVTDs... blogging!
Like with my Italy entries, I'll try to include details that might be helpful for others planning to travel where we visited. But if you ever want to know more, please ask, comment, or email me at heather.nicole.hansen@gmail.com. I love talking in general, but talking about traveling... well, to quote Austria's own Sound of Music... that's one of my favorite things.
This was our first time traveling to Europe in shoulder season. July through August is peak for Austria, so May is very much NOT in this window. But our lucky travel stars still mostly aligned for us, and we were blessed with small(er) crowds, ridiculously lucky hotel accommodations (more on that later), mostly open attractions (some by the skin of our teeth), and excellent weather for two-thirds of our trip.
The non-excellent weather one-third of the trip was luckily in Vienna, which hardly hampered our travel plans.
From the mountains...
To the city...
Our trip spanned staying in three cities (Vienna, Hallstatt and Salzburg), visiting two countries (Germany in addition to Austria), and making countless memories. I'm looking forward to sharing a small portion of those in this blog --- more entries coming soon!
Until then... Auf Wiedersehen!
