MONDSEE, NEAR SALZBURG, AUSTRIA

Big day, Iris turned fifteen. Got up crack of dawn early for me (now I am a loafer) and headed for the supermarket, amazingly Isabel and Dave pulling in behind me from the house they were staying in, up the drive. If I had been twenty seconds earlier or later we wouldn't have met. Stopped for a quick goodbye hug and we were off, them to Salzburg Aerodrome and me on the much more vital quest, provisions for Iris' fifteenth birthday celebrations.

As requested, siblings made Iris breakfast in bed

Settling in for a serious session of Playmobil 

Iris and the children couldn't believe their luck when we suggested that we all eat at the camp restaurant for Iris' birthday dinner. Apparently we haven't eaten out since Portugal last year (except pancakes with Grandma but that doesn't count apparently as Grandma paid). 

Coke!

Coooookkkkkkkkeeeeeee 😁

Great excitement later in the day, after our swim watching
the skyhook lift a person off the climbing cliff.
A local told us that three died on this face this year alone.
