from salzburg suz and i took a bus to Bad Ischl, where suz taught last winter. Bad Ischl is in a mountain valley and very picturesque. best were the men and women walking around the market in traditional austrian garb. i like austria. i think we may have a future together.
we did a little hike to the summit of the "Katrin." the summit was in the clouds, and we found some eerie misty cliffs to climb around on. suz and i have history of climbing rocks in inappropriate footwear. we warded off the mist with some pear schnapps and got off the mountain in time for another sugar fix...
if you're at all interested in cake tourism, suz is the best tourguide in austria. the Konditorei Zauner in Bad Ischl was the royal bakery during the austrian-hungarian monarchy, and it is totally delicious and beautiful. i had "Kaiserkuchen" covered in chocolate marzipan ruffles and another fancy coffee on a silver tray. and suz ordered an Ischler:
it may look like a moonpie, but it's worthy of sainthood.
