Austria - the first day

After a refreshing nights sleep we awoke to a freezing morning - about 5oC. We can see the mountains from our apartment and they have snow on them - no wonder it is cold. The kids and Peter went for an early morning swim in the heated indoor pool and then we had a relaxing breakfast with our german friend Jim.

View from our balcony
We went for a walk through the beautiful town of Seefeld and were amazed at how clear the air is which makes everything look so colourful. Last week it was raining and cold so we are very lucky. We went to view the Olympic ski fields and saw the aerial ski jumps. Seefeld has hosted 3 winter olympic games as well as the winter youth games.





By lunch time it was 21oC and when we had lunch we had to change into our shorts and t-shorts with thongs. Here I was thinking Austria was going to be cold! After lunch we all went down to the lake and the kids had a swim. Well - they tried to have a swim!! It was about 5oC and really too cold for staying in long.
