Forest thaw
... was overcast, as predicted by the weather forecast. It certainly wasn't cold and the final few kilometers along the lake to the south of Achensee turned into a gentle stroll. A welcome beer in a village cafe and ice cream for the weak-willed. Back to the hotel after a 7-8 miles' walk and a welcome afternoon snooze.

... out the sauna and steam bath while Barry and I caught up on international news and stuff. Just before Barry and I embarked on a round of Cribbage, Steph and Helen returned refreshed physically and emotionally from their sauna, steam and shower.
