Austria Sept 18


Our last full day in Austria. It has been full of wonderful visits to our Austrian relatives. The four days with Albert, Marion and David were fantastic, they are such gracious hosts. Then we met Claudia, only the second time that we have met her.
In Kärnten we came at the right time to see my uncle Edi leave the hospital. Yesterday we spent time with Renate and Stephanie in Graz, and today we got together with Mario, Renate and Edi's other son, the father of Claudia and Stephanie.
In the morning we had breakfast at Renate's. Five star food!
We then drove, with Renate to Klagenfurt, where we met Marion and his wife, Evelyn. We toured Klagenfurt, a lovely city on the Wörther See. Sonja and Sandy had a great time shopping for materials. There was a beautiful selection, and purchases were made. It should be fun packing.
I always lose weight on my trips. The record is 12 pounds, over the month I stayed in India. I lost 5 pounds in Thailand in February. This trip will be different. I have eaten two weeks worth of food, in one week.
Tomorrow will be a long day. We have a four hour drive to get to Vienna. Then hand back the car, and catch a one o'clock train to Prague. We should arrive at about 5, and I have arranged a pick-up to our apartment. The internet is great.
