Thursday 25th September 2008 – Zell am Ziller, Tyrol, Austria



The gentle rain during the night continued into the morning and, as per forecast, it looked as though we were in for a wet day. Jane did some washing and met another couple in the laundry area. A difficult conversation followed in broken German until they discovered that they all spoke English – they were American! I arrived and we ended up having a long chat in the laundry. Dave and Susan were a lovely couple and we invited them over for a drink this evening.
The whole day was spent in the van with gentle rain falling all day with an occasional lull. This gave plenty of time for reading and catching up with the blog. We are hoping that the weather forecast for tomorrow, showing somewhat drier weather, is correct.
Dave and Sue came around and we spent a very pleasant couple of hours with them. We found out that they were just a couple of years younger and married when she was 20 years old and he was 19, just the same as us! They live in Milwaukee but he travels widely in his job as an engineer. He is also very keen on photography and, like me, takes far too many photographs when on holiday.
