Destination Austria......



 We arrived at our 3rd couchsurfing destination after another mammoth drive of about 10 - 12 hours. They are becoming part of the norm!!! We stayed with Angela, Marcus, Jonas, and Lauren for three nights in a small village called Weissenbach very close to the German border. It is a beautiful valley surrounded by towering mountains.






The next day we thought we would do something very cultural by putting down a hangi. We had a great time preparing it and spent the evening under the trees waiting for our hangi to be cooked. A late start but by about 11pm it was ready. Well worth the wait if I don't say myself it was bloody good!!!!


preparing our hangi
The weather wasn't so good while we were there but the rain was a pleasant change form the heat.
Angela and Marcus have 16 sheep called Racka. They are nearly extinct a very rare breed originating from Hungary. They have exceptional horns!!!!


Thank you so much Angela, Marcus, Jonas and Lauren for your hospitality, generosity and great conversation. We had a lovely relaxing time with you and your family. Loved the dumplings!!!!
It wasn't long enough, we would have loved to have stayed longer.
