Quick notes from free days at Hotel Glieshof in the Matschertal

We have really enjoyed our time here -- a lovely location, nice rooms, great weather, friendly owners and staff, excellent value for money, and the daughters of the owners regale the guests with impromptu concerts after dinner each evening -- on zither, accordeon, and piano. An inspired choice for a two day rest and recovery place... recommended!

Andreas and Lidia, who joined us on Thursday 4th, then (like us) didn't hike on the Friday because of rain, have been able to get some training hikes in (together on Saturday, then today I went with Andreas 800m up to a lovely lake -- see photo of the views).

Tomorrow Andreas, Russ and I will hike over a 3100m pass, while Lidia will drive around (with, ahem, a certain amount of unnecessary things from our packs in the car) to our next port of call: a village with the picturesque name of Unser Frau im Schnalstal. Then two days along the Meraner Hohenweg and we'll be done with this section of the H3H: time has flown by!
