Hi All
I have just recently returned from this trip for the 2nd time, And the 4th time in this particular area all with "Just You". All be it 2 of these trips were over the Festive Period. I am often asked by my colleagues, friends & And my fellow Just You travellers as to why I return to the same place. Anyone that has ever considered going to this part of the world, Should really give it a go, As it is one of the most amazing places ever. The Hotel in which we are based is set in a beautiful little town right by Lake Attersee where you can see the beautiful sun sets weather permitting. What I will say, Is that this country does see the sun more often than you may think, And it can get extremely hot and just as much as any beach location. All the excursions, both included or optional are all extremely intersting, And if you like to do a spot of walking there are ample routes suitable for all standards and very well marked where you cant get lost.Even ,if you go on any excursions,and with advice,from your tour manager. If you have had enough looking around the shops. There are ample short routes to have a wander, time permitting .The food is amazing, and if you like to dabble with a spot of cake and coffee, then this is certainly the Country to visit.
One of the first things you will notice more or less on arrival, As how clean this Country is regardless where or when you visit, you will barely see any litter, As the Austrians are so proud of their country.
It is an ideal location and not to distant for first time travellers. The locals are so friendly and are all to willing to look after you, As this is one Country that are probably top of the hospitality world, Particularly with their winter activities. However now having been, In winter, spring & summer, And experiencing, snow, rain and shine, Regardless of the Weather, The scernery is brilliant for budding photographers or happy snappers alike.
And if you enjoy a spot of cruising ( as per my picture, Me being all nautical lol ) Which was taken On the Lake, in Hallstatt, A beautiful little town, Which was our only day of drizzle, However it was so refreshing.
Of course this Country also has the beautiful City of Salzburg, With lovely cultural buildings and churches, Where you can experience the sounds of up and comming musicians.
Go on Give it a go and enjoy the experience
Regards Andy
