Germany and a short stay in Austria

We were delighted that Renate had organised a perfect weekend's weather for our excursion across the border into Austria. It's incredibly easy to visit another country in Europe. Renate's research found a beautiful resort not far over the border called Kuhtai (pron. Kootye.)

It was about a two hour drive. We stayed at a lovely little guest house in an apartment on the top floor.  The weather was superb.

We'd arrived early enough in the afternoon to soak up the sun on the deck

The car's dashboard showed -7 degrees on the way back from Kuhtai  somewhat cooler than the 47 degrees our car registered a couple of days before we left Melbourne for London in January!
