1_D7A7036 This is the restaurant in our bed and breakfast in Santa Maria, with Jane and Veda at breakfast.

They are so fortunate to be having breakfast, because, after we arrived the previous afternoon, they weren't sure where they would be sleeping. Since I was relegated to the single room because it used a shared washroom, the ladies chose the double room with its private bathroom. But, after retrieving their luggage, they were unable to find their chosen room. I am forever grateful that our car had a GPS so that I did not have to rely on Jane and Veda for navigation!!!!!

2_D7A7060 We left Santa Maria and drove further down Val Mustair. This scene was at Trafoi.

3_D7A7106 We made a short divergence to drive up to the village of Guarda, in the Engadine.

These are a few vignettes from there.

4_D7A7088 5_D7A7077 6_D7A7096 This is the view as we left Guarda.

7_D7A7102 The village in the valley is Susch, below Piz dal Ras, in the Silvretta Range.

8_D7A7127 Our next stop was in Ardez.

This building is called "The Adam and Eve House" because of this historic painting on its facade.

It dates from1647.

10_D7A7132 How much more breath-taking a setting could there be for a cappuccino stop than this conditorei in Scuol!

Shortly thereafter we crossed into Austria and stopped at this pension in Pfunds.

12_D7A7148 This was the view from our room. And it was one of the most reasonably priced of all we stayed in.

Today was an autobahn day. We drove through the Inn Valley of Austria and to near the Munich airport.

13_D7A7165 We'd booked this hotel in Erding for this night. I subsequently returned our rental Citroen to the airport.

Tomorrow Jane flies home, and we pick up another vehicle to continue our travels.
