After breakfast, Ron went out to the dock to enjoy the morning breezes. He took a "selfie" to show our hotel in the background.
We drove the short distance to Sankt Wolfgang, and walked along the lake. Many "touristy" shops. We started out walking from the front of the Weissen Rossl, and ended up in back of there. The first trip I did alone through Europe, taking the train, I somehow ended up on Wolfgangsee and took a short boat ride to Sankt Wolfgang, which at that time deposited me right near the Weissen Rossl, which was made famous in an opera in the 1930's. I think I was in the building with the arch to the right, and that the orange building is "new". I have to go back to research OLD letters to find out where I was staying at that time, and WHY. Memories do slip away!
We ended up sitting on the lovely terrace of the Weissen Hirschen (white deer) just opposite Weissen Rossl. We soaked in the atmosphere of the lake and mountains. So pleasant that we had to order a second round.
Later, we stopped in another famous cafe, The Wallner, which has been in existence about 500 years. We didn't take advantage of their offerings, only a cup of ice cream.
Later that evening we were a bit hungry and ventured out of the hotel. We drove further into Ried, and ended up at the Leopoldhof, where the only restaurant open was for their spa. We were welcomed in, but we were the only people in street clothes. Everyone else was in their bath robes after enjoying swimming or spa treatments. It was a very unusual experience!
It was a very beautiful pool area which could be seen from the dining room.
After a light dinner, we returned to our room, climbed the many steps, and were glad to have another nice balcony. Unfortunately, I don't seem to have a picture from that evening.
