Wow...so much so quick...Italy is gone and Austria is here...the train ride was beautiful...we went through a tunnel that took 15 minutes and then an amazing long valley filled with vineyards, and fruit orchards...about 3 or 4 hours long. Venice was incredible and very beautiful...so neat to go on a gondola...we had a guitar and a gondola singer serenade us the whole way...
the y and the z are in the wrong spots on this kezboard, so substitute a y for a z because its reallz messing up mz tzping.
in venice we saw fireworks from St. Marco square and we stazed in a palace...just beside St. Marco square. We arrived in Venice about 5 exhausted from a verz long drive so we laid down for a rest...and a concert in our square filtered up into our open windows and we awoke to beautiful string quartet and singer. We went to Murano island and visited the St. Marco basilica which is so overwhelming.
It was hard to get used to Austria and saz goodbze to Italz...but now we are used to it...another language for me to conquer but Ralph is doing verz well Zesterdaz we went to Grosglockner mountain and glacier...the highest peak in the Austrian alps...we drove through a national park ...the road was built in 1935 ... as a public works project during the depression...it is beautiful and amaying and scarz with 36 hairpin turns and an altitude of about 3750 meters
We saw ibex and marmots called to each other their warning as we went by. Todaz is another rest daz...our feet are rather damaged...weäre going to Kitzbuhel todaz and Salzburg tomorrow.
I miss everzone at home...and we see lots of little dogs that I want to cuddle. Hugs to everzone. Till next time Kathleen
