Austria: Day 1

 Summer holidays are here and like every year we go somewhere.This year we visited Austria and stayed in a village called Badhof Gastein. Badhof Gastein is a small ski village and it has a nice homey feel to it like all ski villages. It's situated in a valley and is surrounded by beautiful huge green mountains which (depending on the weather) have small drifts of cloud settled on them which gives them a look of mystery and grandness.  We stayed in the hotel Norica which had a great heated underground tunnel which connected a few other hotels to the big swimming pool and spa. This is a great place to go and relax. You can go hiking as well, there was a route on one of the mountains which wasn't too tiring and had rest stops. It takes you on a path with a wonderful view and you even takes you through a cave that goes behind a waterfall. The path leads you to the village of Bad Gastein. And if you ever go there you'll notice straight away how clean and fresh the air is all my allergies disappeared for that week. :)
