Sunday in Leongang

A gondola delivers us to the top of Asitz mountain in Leongang. This is Klaus' home ski area. At this time of year, it is hiker and biker heaven.

We're almost delivered to the top of the mountain.

There are two restaurants up here. Only one is open.

The men's toilets are unique.

Four of us take the gondola back down. 

Klaus takes the other four on another gondola to the midstation for a hike. They get some amazing scenery.

The hotel's owner Rupert retrieves us and returns the group to the village of Leongang.

As we tumble from the van, Rupert rejoins his posse on the patio. It appears they've been carousing most of this holiday day. These must be the owners of Leongang. There is a Ferrari and two different high-end Jaguars.

We repeat the drill of wine selection this evening. The only rule is there can be no duplicates from last evening.

The menu begs for white wines, our taste buds beg for red.

The cocktail class was originally scheduled in the afternoon. Klaus moved it to after dinner. The five people catching the 0600 train for next week's wine tour will regret the move.

This is our cocktail teacher.
