BT XII - Day 5

Today was a baby bear day,  thankfully neither wet nor hot, which makes a change.
As the entire day seemed to flit from Austria to Germany and back,  we were thankful that there were no border controls otherwise we could have taken twice the time to cover the miles.

The initial blast over the mountain via  Kuhtai was very enjoyable. It settled down into a very pretty jaunt down the Innsbruck valley through the outskirts and industrial estates. The mist weaving is way through the mountains, escarpments and trees provided a wonderful backdrop.
The roads leading to and from Berchesgarten were their usual fantastic selves and blissfully light in traffic. 
Stand out points of the day include the kilted man on the bicycle and the Australian,  living in Poland that we meet in a lay-by.
After what seemed like a long day we arrived at the Hotel Retro {although I'm not sure that the decor lives up to its name } just before our target of 6pm.  Our Chinese supper would have been much improved without the smokers at the adjoining tables.
