Visit to Austria

October found us in Austria and Switzerland.  During our stay in Austria, we booked a very nice Bread and Breakfast with a great host in Obertraun which was close to the World Heritage city of Hallstatt.  Our views of the mountains were incredible.  Taking cable cars up the mountains, we were able to explore beautiful scenic views of both cities.
