Hallstatt, Austria - By Day

The sun will come out tomorrow, bet your bottom dollar, tomorrow......there'll be sun!

Enough verses of that song, and it finally happens!  ;)

Hallstatt is even more lovely in the sunshine.

We spent the morning wandering around the town....

 

Paid a visit to the Bone Chapel behind the Catholic Church..

Space was so limited in the tiny cemetery pictured below, that people were only buried for 12 years before they were dug up.  Some of the bones made it to the Bone Chapel, where each skull is named, dated and decorated.  They stopped this practice in the 60s.

View from the Catholic Church

Views along the upper "street"

This guy was doing some maintenance on the side of his house.  Look how he is perched on that scaffolding.

Heading back down to street level.

Hallstatt, Austria - First Evening

On Wednesday, we headed west towards Hallstatt, Austria.  Hallstatt is in the Lake District of Austria.  It was still pretty cloudy, but the views were amazing.

Along the way...

First view of Hallstatt:

So picturesque!  Even with the clouds and fog.

Love these carvings in the rooftops....

And my favorite picture ever.....

And some shots of Hallstatt from further away...

Super hard to pick a favorite!

Stay tuned for some daytime shots from Hallstatt!
