After saying farewell to Auntie Leah the previous day we headed to Austria along some of the smaller, less travelled roads. We were excited to go into the Alps and be able to stop in the small village of Oberau. KT and TV visited and stayed in Oberau on two previous trips, including their very first one together so it had some emotional significance. Over the last 24 years the village has changed but the passions walk up to the church and graveyard remains the same. Some things have changed, the Greek taverna which was owned by a very lovely man has been replaced by a traditional Bavarian establishment run by a lovely lady. Also the place where we first stayed is no longer accepting lodgers, but does still have live stock living below the family house as before. We were really happy to have stopped in Oberau and to be able to show the place to the kids who really appreciated it.
