Austria

When we left Poland we started to travel south-west. We went through the Slovak Republic through Bratislava and into Austria. We seem to be hitting a lot of road construction on our trip. Traffic jams are common for sure. A pass time at one point because the travel was so slow ( 1 km in 2 hours ) has become put the van in neutral and move our body weight around in the van to make it move. Do we know how to pass time! We bunked down in Vienna for the night before heading east to a place about 50 km’s out of Salzburg where we will be staying for a few days. Altemarkt, Austria. It is at an elevation of about 875 meters. The hills of Austria. There is lots of snow in the alpine and we heard that 3 days ago there was 30 centimeters where we are staying but it all melted off. Some sort of weather system has sure locked on to this area as it just keeps raining. One of out trips into Salzburg took us to Hellbrunn which is a large area that houses an old palace and some amazing gardens. Some scenes from the Sound of Music were filmed there. One of the other very interesting sites there were the trick fountains. A whole series of elaborate sculptures in settings that are all water features. The whole thing is run by water and not electricity
