(6/18) On Tuesday we traveled to Bad Hofgastein, Austria by way of Dachau. Yes, we visited the concentration camp. I don't have many pictures. It's a somber place to visit. It reminds you of how awful people can be and makes the statements and actions of many modern politicians disturbingly ominous.
I actually have relatively little in the way of activities and photos for Austria itself. Bad Hofgastein is beautiful, and I got to walk around it a bit, but we didn't go into Salzburg for the Mozart and "The Sound of Music" tours that the kids went on. In fact, on Thursday we went to see a doctor in Bad Hofgastein to see if we could do something about Lavender's persistent cough. The hotel staff directed us to Dr. Fischer, who managed to fit us into her schedule on short notice. She diagnosed Lavender with a bacterial infection and prescribed antibiotics and some other things, which we picked up at an "apothekare" in town. The doctor visit and medications were both easily affordable, so yay for EU healthcare.
I do have a few pictures from my wanderings, the concerts in town, and the last dinner in a beer hall in Bad Hofgastein.
Friday morning, we scrambled into buses to get to the airport in Munich for the trip home.
But there is a food and drink blog entry.
