Last night's rain returned the next day (Wednesday, Sept. 13). It had also cooled off considerably to a maximum of 18C (64F).

| It didn't look so bad just after 8:00 that morning. |

| But by early afternoon (around 1:30 pm) it was obvious the rain would stay for the rest of the day. |
We discovered an enclosure were deer were grazing and a beautiful private chapel on a hill, but unfortunately, neither of us had brought our phones/cameras along, and so we decided to come back another day to take pictures.
Back at the hotel, rain set in properly for the rest of the day. We gave our legs a good rest and spent the day reading until it was time for the sauna (you put your name down on a list for a certain time slot and then had it all to yourselves - great!). Afterwards, another delicious four course dinner awaited us.
A quiet, slow day, very relaxing and therefore not unwelcome.
I like the dramatic view of those low clouds, Meike. Hope your weather improved again!
ReplyDeleteIt did, Ellen!
DeleteI often find that rain doesn't matter when I am somewhere as restful as that, provided it's not for too many days.
ReplyDeleteSame here, Tasker; in a way, I was grateful for the rest, and the chance to get in hours of reading without feeling like I was mssing out on a good hike or walk.
DeleteYou were really "up in the clouds" there, Meike! ;-) ... I remember that from my own one and only visit to the Austrian alps back in 1990 (tourist bus tour with a group of friends from Sweden to Germany/Austria).
ReplyDeleteYes, we were, and it was fascinating to observe the changes - those clouds never appeared as the solid lid above we sometimes get here.
