so then finally i was in austria...
well...austria just felt like more of the same! yet another christmas market which was lovely but perhaps not as terrific as the german ones we went to...
saw the golden roof, royal palace and olympic ski jump...as night fell musicians gathered on a balcony under the golden roof and played accordion type music...but darkness falls far too early in europe in winter...
lovely river nearby and yet more multi-coloured residences...from here the next day we drove the brenner pass into italy...i got it wrong apparently before...although i would swear from lichtenstein we went into italy...oh well :) so few border controls in between and all the countries end up looking the same...i almost think the european union is a shame although its lovely to know as a UK citizen that i could in theory live anywhere in the EU...but what are we losing of the languages, culture, money, traditions etc by making everything the same i wonder?
beautiful castles along the way although ive seen so many now...think im castled out, FINALLY! vineyards and orchards too, vineyards especially along the rhine valley in germany...
italy here i come and only wish i could see more of you...
