A drive into the mountains

Beautiful day today!  After a bit of confusion we rented a car and left for the mountains. We drove to the Gutenstein Alps range.  It's not has high as the Alp ranges closer to Switzerland but very beautiful just the same.  It was a great drive, some fall colors starting to show.  We drove through many quaint villages.  It was so beautiful and I tried to take pictures, but it just doesn't do it justice.
Finally on the way to the Alps




Goose Farm!

Some Geese!




There where tons of hay bale "sculptures" so cute!

On the way to Brataslava Slovakia

There were miles of windmill farms, amazing

The border of Austria and Slovak Republic

Almost to Brataslava

It was a long day of driving.  We enjoyed it until we got lost in Brataslava and had to drive and dodge trams in the street.  A little hair raising but we made it to our hotel ok.  Tomorrow we'll check out the old town here.  Drop of the car and take a train to Budapest.  More pictures to come.
