Summer Vacation 2022 - Part 4

Semmering
 
Wednesday - August 10th 2022
 
After breakfast we checked out and hit the road towards Bad Aussee, our final destination of our Summer Vacation. On the way we stopped at Semmering, a very small village on the Styrian and Lower Austrian boarder. There we just took a walk around the village to see the huge, old, abandonned hotels from the turn of the century. We also visited the 20 Schilling view of the sceneric Semmering Railway. It is called 20 Schilling view, because the scenery was depicted on Austria's old 20 Schilling bank note. Afterwards we bought some snacks at the local supermarket for our lunch picnic.

Picnic
 
Once we finished our picnic, we hit the road again and drove to our hotel in Bad Aussee, where we arrived in the afternoon. While we were checked in, we got a welcome drink and soon we were brought to our room.In Bad Aussee we stayed at Die Wasnerin, a beautiful child free hotel. Our room was very nice and comfortable and even offered a mini bar, coffee and tea. Once we unpacked our stuff, we headed to the pool area until it was time for dinner. Our hotel package not only included a breakfast buffet, but five course dinner as well. Today we got a sweet potatoe pancake for starter, followed by a creamy soup and pasta. Claudia got a stir fry dish instead of the pasta. For dessert we both ordered the chocolate cake with ice cream. After dinner we got a couple of drinks to enjoy at our balcony.
