Day 8 First Route

Sadly, the weather is not good at dawn. Had a great sleep but woke up to the sound of heavy rain and the baker delivering the days bread and various rolls to the front door. A coach load of the group are going to Vienna for the day so we head down to breakfast at 0800 to eat with them before they go. Archie and Patsy are last on the bus tho they are not late.

The rain is light and Colin and I decide to go for the short run, either the good weather will come while we are out , or it won't. It doesn't. However we enjoy the run of only 90 miles and we get a coffee stop And a lunch stop where we meet the long run group. The Gasthous is very nice and food is generous helping and excellent.

The rain drops get larger but we are mostly dry and have enjoyed taking in many hairpin bends on the ski roads which are plentiful here. Last job is to fuel up just before the hotel then aim for the shower.

The hotel can be found at www.Panhans.at. It is known as the Grand Hotel Panhans for good reason. In a corridor downstairs are galleries of old pictures of various prominent guests such as old politicians and film stars from 100 years ago. Also photos of the extension construction in the 50's, and winter views with loads of snow.
