Today started by waking up and getting dressed in my hiking outfit and filling my canteen. Dr. Barr said we would be taking a scenic train to the small village town, Mariazell.
Before getting on the train, Dr. Barr said we had to try and use the restroom before our long train ride through the mountains. In Austria, it usually costs .50 to have access to the bathroom.
Here I am looking for a coin that is the sum of .50.
Here it is! Now we need to insert it in the machine so the doors will open to the bathroom.
After a long scenic train ride through the Austrian mountains, Dr. Barr and I arrived at Mariazell.
In order to get to the top of the mountain, I got to ride in a gondola.
Here I am at the top of Bürgeralpe mountain.
After a yummy meal, we rode the gondola back to the village.
We walked around and enjoyed shopping and visiting a beautiful church. But first we wanted a sweet treat. See if you can find the flavor that Dr. Barr wanted to try.
On our way back to the train station, we smelled something delicious.
We went inside a gingerbread bakery and bought some snacks for the ride back to the hotel.
Tomorrow, Dr. Barr is attending school with her friends. I plan to enjoy swimming in the hotel pool.
The mountains are beautiful! Bruce Jackson and I would like to ride the gondola. We'd also like to share some of your gingerbread. The gingerbread house was awesome! Snoopy, enjoy swimming while Dr. Barr is in class!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you have to pay to go to the bathroom. I've never had to do that. The gondola ride looks really cool though. You know I love to go up high. I sure wish I could meet up with you and Dr Barr. What an amazing trip.
