Hopfgarten in Austria

On Thursday 17 June we said farewell to Switzerland and drove almost 400kms from Luzern to a holiday house in Hopfgarten, Austria. En route we passed through some awesome countryside - at least when we weren't underground in one of the many tunnels. The massive network of tunnels was very impressive, including one which went for 15kms and several others 2 to 5kms long.
We arrived at the holiday house at about 5.30pm after a long, slow day of driving in wet conditions. The house is three quarters of the way up a massive mountain called Hohe Salve which is 1829m above sea level and has some incredible views of the town below, and snow capped mountains in the distance.
More importantly, it was great to meet up with our Dutch friends Sofie and Daan and their two-year-old son Paul who we met for the first time.
