Arrivederci Italy, Willkommen Austria

Well, here we are in Pordenone - the town where Auntie Monica lived in as a little girl. This fountain is in a Piazza close to one of her favorite gelato shop. This is our last day in Italy, so we had to come and visit. QT and I really liked the fountain on this hot day, because the wind would blow the water at us and cool us off.
And here is one of the special ice cream treats available at Casa del Gelato, the best gelateria in Pordenone. It is spaghetti ice cream -how cool is that! It was yummy, too.
To get from Italy to Austria we had to cross the Alps, so we drove through many tunnels in the mountains. Some were fairly short, a few hundred metres, but a few were up to five or six kilometres long.
In Radstadt, the town we are staying in here in Austria, there is an old city wall that goes around part of the city. It has very big, round towers at the corners of the walls. Today it is very pretty with water and fountains around it.

We have to park underground, well, sort of. There are grass and flowers growing on top of the parking garage. But at least we have covered parking.
Bye for now, I'll wrote more about our adventures in Austria later - Love KT
