After checking the local webcams we decide to avoid Kuhtai, for frozen white reasons and set off under a blue sky, with Frau Bloucher waving us off.
The mountains with snow dusting and low clouds wreathing in and out, in the sunlight was fabulous.
Yesterday our speeds were restricted, not by legal limits but by what or extremities could stand without falling off. Today was much better, although the temperatures still plummeted very quickly in the shade.
Our ride took us along the German alpine road (in and out of Austria) which was mostly dry and gave us an exceptional (and quick) ride.
Regrettably my initial planning omitted another of my favourite roads (the toll road above 'The Eagles Nest' in Berchesgarten.
Or final drive was up a toll, forestry track and again brought us marginally above the snow line. Wet patches with the possibility of frost/wet leaves in patchy light through the trees made that tricky.
Much to John's delight, or hotel is accessed from a pedestrian precinct!
A quick put stop to replace a headlight bulb and we are off to the bar.
