Well the very last days in Europe have been some of the most enjoyable. This again being due to the fact we spent the time in the lower Alps.We have explored the area around Lassing, with a trip through the gorges & a chairlift ride to the top of a quite high mountain. The entertainment being, watching the hangliders leap off the cliff. Sitting on the mountaintop having special coffee & apple strudel, felt like being in the Eagles nest.
Unfortunately all good things must come to an end & yesterday was spent transiting (very slowly with coffee stops) back to Vienna. This morning I ran Roz & Byron to the airport for their 10.30 flight back to the USA.
I tracked the flight on flightradar24 & noticed it did not leave the ground until 11.00. (close enough)
After lunch we took the car back & checked in for our evening flight. So here we sit at another airport, waiting for another plane. (We seem to have been doing that a lot) Next stop Dubai for 3 days & 2 nights. The weather forecast is for temps in the 40s & we already know that the moisture from the Gulf will probably give us over 90% humidity. We are the purveyors of hot weather.

Another hilltop overnight stay. The star suite was a tree house out back.
Heading into some more Alpine gorges.
The hills are starting to get higher again.
Climbing down to an Alpine creek at Wasserlochglamm.
