You'd better hurry up! It's getting cold up here and they've closed the ticket office.

Hungerburgbahn going up
It's hard to show how steep the climb was.
And here's a funicular going down.

See you all tomorrow evening at dinner.
(BTW: Is today's dinner mascot still alive or was it the dinner?)

Good morning and thanks, tom911, for the photos.
As you can see the mountain restaurant was in low cloud when we arrived but by the time we left it was clear and we were able to enjoy the view as we came down on the cable car. Despite not being able to find the bus stop (initially) and turning the wrong way after getting off the bus, I trust everyone got back safely, had a good night's sleep and is ready for another day's sightseeing.

For the sightseeing tour I will wait at the Hilton lobby at 10:20 am. It's the same bus stop as we took yesterday for the Hungerburgbahn. The bus will leave at 10:36 am.
Now breakfast
