Monday 28 January 2002

A chilly and misty morning from the balcony of our room in Mariastein.

It was so misty the castle couldn't be seen from the hotel (left).

We went to Westendorf for a pony and trap ride through the forest. It had both sleighs and wheels.

There were ten of us in the first of three traps and jokes flew thick and fast!

The two guys at the back had the following horses' noses right up close!

"I think this horse is in love with me!" one said.

"No, he's frothing at the mouth, you're making him ill..." came a swift response!

Steve, sitting next to the driver had a different worry as a tail just in front kept lifting...

"Never mind," I said, "Take some home for the roses..."

There was a queue of people with skis at the bus stop as we passed. Once on the coach it became obvious why!
