A friend of ours, J, is just finishing her holiday in Fuschl-am-See; in fact, she should have left today, but but the airline messed up her flight, and she is not, in fact, leaving until tomorrow morning. So we arranged to meet her for lunch.
It was a normal 3.5 hour drive from Kritzendorf, but we decided to leave early so as to have plenty of time. So we got up at 06:00, had tea, showered, and used the services and were away by 07:30. Our first stop was at a McDonald's for breakfast - I do like a McDonald's breakfast once in awhile - and also diesel, which could be had in the same complex, and then I fell fast asleep while we drove on down the motorway - the A1 trunk road that crosses Austria from east to west. We stopped once, about half way along it, for the SW to have coffee and a break, and arrived in Fuschl-am-See, as we had hoped, just after 12:30.Our friend came to meet us and took us back to her hotel for lunch - a delicious open-faced toast with bacon, cheese and onion, and we were lucky enough to score the last two slices of Sachertorte! Well, after yesterday we had to, really! And very good it was, too - not too sweet, and very chocolatey and apricotty.
After lunch, the Swan Whisperer decided to walk all round the Fuschlsee, a distance of about 11 km. J and I, meanwhile, contented ourselves with a potter round the town and then a cup of tea in the WoMo, where the Swan Whisperer joined us about an hour later. He had really enjoyed his walk! Now he is getting supper at the close of our last full day in Austria, and the last "featured" day of our holiday. We will not be home for a few more days yet, but will be heading that way.
