We stayed a second night in Heilingenblut and as we walked up to town Mom said the Austrian people must have the strongest legs in the world. Everywhere you go it's hills, steep hills, how anyone rides bikes here is a mystery to us 

It sure is pretty though,can you locate Lucy sitting there between 2 trees

it was an exhausting walk (for Mom) so we got lunch and enjoyed the view. Something went horribly wrong with the lunch order. This is FISH, where is the beef? how could you Mom? I did get a taste but it wasn't very good and thankfully Mom didn't think it was good either so that means she wouldn't order it again.

The dessert was pretty good whatever it is. Mom said it tasted like sugary pancakes hmm guess she wouldn't order this again either

Leaving in the morning we noticed a lot of these French cars, and we found out it was a rally from France to Italy. If these guys with a very small motors can make it over the Alps so can Lucy Mom thought.

Today, Mom said Lucy is going to get a rest, we're staying on a flat wide road to the next destination

Ha ha, who is she kidding? look straight ahead

so many homes here are clinging to the mountainside and the road seems to wrap around their property

We went to Kitzbühel a small Alpine town east of Innsbruck, in the western Austrian province of Tyrol. It's a fashionable winter resort, known for the annual Hahnenkamm downhill race. When we got there it was too crowded and nowhere to park Lucy so we continued on.

We continued on and again there were serpentine roads and sometimes steep inclines and then??????

MOM's worst nightmare: the Felbertauern tunnel. Alice didn't warn about this. The tunnel was completed in 1967 and is operated as a one-tube tunnel in two-way traffic and is located at an altitude of 1607 to 1650m (5 272- 5 413ft). It is 5282m (3.28 miles)long and thus the eleventh longest tunnel in Austria.

Mom hates driving in these and I think she held her breath all the way thru ...................we made it alive but here's a guy who wasn't as lucky as us.

At the end of the tunnel was a little restaurant, I could smell the food and went to beg for some

Mom is calling me to come being a little embarrassed over me begging strangers like she never feeds me at all

but MOM they are having Gulash, you know that stuff we both love 

They didn't give me any? so I reluctantly had to leave the table.

By the road there are many places like this, I suppose people stop and pray to make it through the darkest tunnels and highest peaks

We finally stopped in a town named  Kössen, which is an internationally renowned hotspot for paragliding enthusiasts who enjoy nothing better than taking to the skies and gazing down on the Kaiserwinkl mountains from above.

Mom was looking at them longingly remembering doing it a few years ago in Sweden. The price was 100 Euro so she passed this time.

People here love flowers and this was the decore at the WC entrance

There are flowers everywhere here, and every house is decorated with millions it seems of geraniums and petunias in windowboxes on every balcony ...........it is gorgeous according to Mom, I don't care much about that, Im more into the food here 

It's now 9 am and we're packing up to keep driving North 

Allis great 

wet kisses Henry

It hasn't been easy to get Mom to help me with my story, because now Mom got a book that completely mesmerized her. The author is from her puppy town and the story is about a woman's life and struggles to live in Northern Sweden from 1896 to 1985. ...

Ever since we arrived in Mom's puppy town she's been sleeping later and later in the mornings, this morning she didn't get up until 7.30, that's a record. I think she's reminiscing back to her teens? Here I'm running after the ball at the same fiel...
