Looking down into the gorge.

Up for breakfast. We went down to the restaurant and wandered along the choices. Wow! You name it, it was there. About 10 different types of fresh fruit plus half a dozen tinned fruits, yoghurt, a variety of cereals, cheeses, meats, breads, croissants, sweet cakes, tomato, peppers, hard boiled eggs. Plus the waiters offered us bacon & eggs, omelets or scrambled eggs. As soon as we sat down a fresh pot of Austrian coffee was on our table with scalded milk. Coffee is yummy here. There was also about 6 different types of juice and about 10 different varieties of teas. Something for everyone. We had a lovely breakfast and then headed off for Liechtensteinklamm which is a gorge which was forged during the last ice age by a glacier as the climate changed. Prince Johann von und zu Liechtenstein donated money in 1876 so that walkways could be built to the waterfall for visitors to enjoy. The result is a stunning walk through tunnels and over bridges through the gorge. We arrived just after noon and the sun was forming rainbows through the spray of the waterfall. A lovely place. Got back to hotel and Rod went off to buy some togs so we could enjoy the pool and the hot tub. We found a pair for €20 and headed back to hotel. When we looked closer at the togs they had a picture of the north island on them and the words said 90 mile reef point. All the way to Austria to buy NZ togs. Too tired for dinner tonight so off we go to a café for ice cream. We chose “negro in white shirt” as our dessert and received a chocolate pudding with lovely hot sauce and cream. Home to bed. My legs are sore!!
