Austria--part one

Hanging out in Stansted airport for six hours on our way to austria because we missed our flight. we'd planned to fly to Italy and spend a day there at the beginning and end of our austria trip. but snow and ice in england, bad traffic and accidents caused us to miss the check in desk by 10 minutes. it sucked. we paid extra, and flew directly to salzburg. thank god for magazines, krispy kreme doughnuts and good kids!



The car hire agency got us the cheapest car they could...a mercedes!!! i loved it. only in austria!



schloss mittersill...our destination...on the hill



the part of the castle where our room is

one view from our bedroom window. snow capped mountains in the distance, but warm temps where we were.
