Achensee: Early morning








I got up early and took photos in the misty morning, as the sleepy clouds drifted down from the mountains toward the lake.

Achensee







After driving for what felt like forever, from northern France through Switzerland Germany and Austria, we finally arrived in idyllic Pertisau, a tiny town on the shore of the Achensee, a spectacular mountain lake in Tirol (Austria).

It was so beautiful there, and it looks like how I imagine some parts of New Zealand might look like.

Romanshorn



We stopped on the way from France to Austria in a Swiss town called Romanshorn. This is my lunch, it was smokey and salty and good. The waitress didn't know the English word but said the smoked fish was 'Felchen' and that it was a lake fish. Rosenhorn is by a huge lake called Lake Constance. Thats my mum stealing some fish on the left.






I want to see more of Switzerland, I was only there for a couple of hours.
