When we arrived in Hallstatt, there was a private boat waiting for us to give us a tour of the lake before dropping us off near our hotel. Walking into Hallstatt is like walking into a postcard. Unbelievable! It was sprinkling lightly, but luckily the rain held off until the end of the boat ride. The cloudy skies with the swirling fog made for an even more dramatic and beautiful landscape. We couldn't get enough of the eye candy! We were even more excited when we got to our hotel and saw our beautiful room - our favorite of the trip! We had a quick lunch with some of our tour mates and then headed out to explore the winding alleys that make up this lovely town. Many of the tour members went up to the salt mine for a tour, but we wanted to spend the day outside. We visited the bone chapel where the bones that were dug up from the graveyard due to space constraints were decorated and stored. I thought it might be a bit creepy, but it was really neat. We spent the afternoon exploring and taking photos. Since this was a "vacation from a vacation" day without any specific plans, I'll let the photos speak for themselves.
