The next morning, we awoke late for breakfast, and the hotel actually called our room wondering where we were, they missed us at breakfast. At first they spoke to us in German, then tried French (based on our last name looking French even though it's Italian), and finally got the message through in English.



Since we weren't ready to come down yet, they brought the breakfast up to our room. :-)



Later, we took a walk in the woods around the hotel. In this first photo, you see a barren spot in the middle of the forest. This is actually damage from Hurricane Lothar in 1999. Yes, as in 'I am Lothar of the hill people.'



Sorry. Old Mike Myers SNL reference. :-)



The hotel had some aerial photos of the damage in 1999, and it was interesting to see how the hurricane only did random spot-damage to the forest, while leaving other areas unscathed.
