Rest day, Pill

After 5 days of OK weather bordering on good, it was time for the rain/ snow to arrive with a vengeance. Here at 850m we were on the snow/ rain edge and woke up to a bit of both. The cloud rolled in and out hiding the valley below, so ideal for a rest day.
The snow plough had been operating since 5am on the road pushing the slush around.
Originally we were due to leave the apartment today and find another place, however with impending bad weather and also the exercises up at the Lizumer hut we extended the stay for 3 more nights

We had a generally lazy early morning before cabin fever set in and I suggested we drop down to Pill for some lunch and dinner supplies, so off we set into the snow falling quite heavily.

As we dropped down it changed to rain after about 200m descent, but the clouds still filled the valley
After getting some bits in the local Spar (too small for anything major - it was difficult to find things for dinner even), we dropped down to the railway station to recce out the train times to Mayrhofen - one of Bryon's delights would be to ride the steam train down the Zillertaller valley, however he may have to settle for the electric as it only runs in the summer.

We crossed the Inn river and then headed up the road with a very speedy ascent back up the hill to the apartment for lunch.
The afternoon kind of disappeared in a fog as we relaxed once again with teh rain/ snow falling outside.
