A fine five day tour through the Austrian Alps, starting in Vienna down to Villach, then up to Innsbruck, then through Lichtenstein to Zurich in Switzerland, and ending in Ljublijana in Slovenia. We had cloudy and sometimes drizzly weather for much of the trip, but the scenery was still spectacular and the city visits were interesting and fun!
