Austria, well part of it anyway!

On Sunday, the Laudenbergs and the Kellys went on a short excursion to Austria. I suppose putting Austria in as section of a page entitled Bavaria is stretching things a bit, but we barely crossed the border, so I hope some leeway will be granted.

We took an old train, the Wendelbahn from Kiefersfelden to the Austrian border. Monday to Friday the train carries rocks and stones from a nearby quarry, but on weekends it ferries tourists back and forth. Here we are, from the left myself, Karolin & Marielle, enjoying the ride:

And, on our arrival....

From the last stop, it's just a short walk over the border and into Austria.

The grown-ups busied themselves with Apfel Strüdel and Weissbier, but Karolin and I found the perfect way to spend the afternoon. Isn't swinging a great way to get off the ground and take in the scenery?
