Our Day Continues ...

May 18, 2016

Our day continued ... after our search of fishing spots ... picking up Resi ...

then driving to Gmunden ...

stopping at the Gmundner Ceramic (Ceramic) Factory and store ...

It was an amazing place ...

We purchased a few more dishes to add to our dinnerware set ...

We travelled to the downtown area ...

walking along the Esplanade (lakefront walkway) by the Traunsee Lake ...

taking pictures of the Grunberg (Green Mountain) and the Traunstein in behind ...

the tour boat on the calm waters ...

and Schloss Orth (an Austrian Castle) on the little island ...

We stopped to have a break and enjoy our ice-cream ...

while walking on the Esplanade ...

More pictures of the city ...

One of the favourite sights in the central plaza ...

was the beautiful green building ...

which is the City Hall ... with the Glockenspiel (bell clock) ...

the bells ring every hour until 7pm ... with the last on of the day playing a lullaby)

We spent a few hours there ... seeing the sights ...

then we continued on our journey ...

We were invited to Gerald and Doris's home for dinner ...

They have a lovely home ... the children were excited to show us their chickens ...

and one of Gerald's prize possessions...

is his All-wheel drive Military Troop Transporter...

Thomas was enjoying seeing himself singing on Tante Ida's iPad ...

Tante Paula joined in with laughter ...

We were later entertained by the children ... playing music ...

Andrea playing the Clarinet ... Maria played a song on the keyboard ...

and Thomas playing a tune on the harmonica ...

A beautiful sunset viewed from the back yard ...

the guys checking out a few things in the garage ...

then we all gathered indoors to enjoy a delicious dessert with fresh strawberries ...

We had a great time with the family ...

and hoped that we could get together again ...

during our holiday ...
