Day 14 - Werfen (the daily blob)

Started the day with a pleasant train to Werfen Austria. :D when we arrived in Werfen we got our sense of direction and headed for the local bus station. We found out to our great surprise and delight that the bus to our hotel (aren't we spoilt) was free!!!!!! Yay. Anyway when we got to the youth hotel they had given us a room for two because they had forgotten me :( but anyway the hostel is amazing. The beds are good and the view from the main balcony of the Werfen  castle is fantastic. Anyway we headed off to the castle where we caught a funicular (lift like thing on a slope) up to the castle and when we arrived we: looked at the armoury (so many swords), watched an amazing birds of prey show (so many amazing birds) and went on a free tour around the castle. The birds were amazing there was: big eagles, huge buzzards and super fast falcons. Yeah it was very very cool. The castle tour was very interesting and mum loved the easy to use audio guides. Ok quote of the day today was said by mum. She said "I'm sick of walking". It was amazing for me because I wasn't the first to complain woooooooo. (For those who don't know mum always tries to walk the family everywhere). Anyway we got tomorrow's lunch and then went for a "nice" long walk home up a bloody great big hill. Mum suffered but I was fine just a bit puffed. Anyway dinner tonight has been fantastic. It was 12 euro for a main and dessert because we are staying at the hotel. The meals were fantastically huge and I'm officially a fat blob writing a blog that why today's blog is a blob. Anyway I had a huge schnitzel with ham and cheese in it with chips and for dessert I had a pancake folded over ice cream covered in chocolate sauce with cream on the side. IT WAS SO GOOD!!!! Mummy had a veal steak with dumpling swimming in mushroom soup!!! And for dessert she had a apple strudel with ice cream. Daddy had the same main as me and the same dessert as mummy. Everyone is very stuffed. So a short day.
