Cows

Woke up this morning dead.
Yesterday's exertions must have had some impact and on top of the jetlag I was dead.
And it was raining, and didn't look like stopping.
Cup of tea.
Shopping at Aldi (Hofer here) - I was pretty excited at the idea of some serious food but its just as disorganised as the Aldi in Australia.  Bits and pieces everywhere.  Bikes next to biscuits.  T shirts next to tomatoes.  I thought Germans were supposed to be organised.
Then breakfast and Aldi filter coffee.
Still dead.
Ok, its still raining so the long ride is postponed till after lunch lets go for a swim.
Caught a bus to town, found the pool I discovered yesterday and did laps till we were both so cold that we shivered for the next two hours.
Neither of us had thought to bring warm clothes or food so we eventually shared a tasty Thai feed, had a coffee, found a way up to the castle,

walked back through the old (read tourist) town and home via a real supermarket (Spa) where order is restored and we picked up some gluten free bread and other groceries to make up what we couldn't find in Hofer.

Don't know how the cows fit in but with the rich looking pastures around the countryside it is not surprising that they should have a thriving dairy industry.  All over Salzburg there are cows - milch cows - all painted and life sized.

Didn't see many in the paddocks yesterday but we weren't looking for them.

Finally, I thought I should put up a photo of the hotel we are staying in.

Quaint.

Long ride planned for tomorrow - in search of more lakes.
