One thing which did surprise us was the number of people who wore traditional dress on the Sunday.  This is the hotel proprietor with his wife and daughter:

The food, of course, was enjoyable:

Kuchen St Gilgen Kuchen Bad Ischl Ice cream Salzburg

Raspberry Kuchen from St Gilgen; chocolate coated banana from the market in Bad Ischl; ice cream and hot raspberries in Salzburg.

I managed to speak a little German, shopping in the market was one example, when I confused both myself and the stallholder.  Fortunately another customer came to the rescue - also speaking German, but I understood her.  My comprehension has improved, but I desperately need to speak more.  But whenever I begin to speak in German the reply comes back in English.  I did however manage to explain when buying my entry ticket to the Kaiservilla that I had been given too much change.

And so it was time to come home.  But I brought a new friend with me:

New friend

I've named him Edel Lion.
