There is nothing different about Fred and I walking to breakfast, it is what we love to do in Johannesburg and Cape Town. What made this morning different was climbing 1000ft over 2.5km up a steep footpath to Amoseralm for breakfast, an historical Austrian Alpine family farm cottage.

| Amoseralm, an Alpine Farm Cottage at 1200m, our breakfast destination. |
Number 48:
Alpine Farm Breakfast at Amoseralm.
Freshly baked Austrian rye sourdough bread, cheese that smells of the farm, air-dried ham, a skillet of scrambled eggs, mountain water, mugs of coffee, homemade preserves, farm butter and a bowl of bircher muesli with berry compote, all placed out on our rough-hewn wooden table!
Sunshine, high altitude meadows with spring flowers, high snow peaks, and around us cows, chickens, rabbits, pigs, a young waitress in an Austrian traditional dress - and a woodpile with a window.

From my friend Sharon:
"Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being & walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, & the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right." Soren Kirkegaard
