We had a big hiking day and climbed 4000 feet over 10 miles. We went up and over several passes in the Austrian clouds unable to see what was ahead or behind us. We stopped for lunch at a hut run by a former soccer star and his stewardess wife. Unfortunately the stewardess was on a plane somewhere so the soccer stud made our lunch. The trail is so little used that it was simetimes hard to follow through the tall ferns, flowers and fog. We hiked through fields of cows which sounds charming until you think about the cow pies. One cow kept following me as if I was leading her to the barn. We then hiked up and up past a snow field until we reached the Wildseeloderhutte that emerged from the fog at the shore of a beautiful lake.

Funny, but ferns and Austria have never existed in my conscious mind until now. You've broadened my mind!
