This morning the announced good weather was still in its pajamas, but as the morning progressed, it turned into a picture-perfect autumn day. This morning I had to go up to the monastery again. The detailed book about the crypt had to come home with me. After that, we went for a relaxed shopping trip to Mals. It would be a shame if we didn't get any Coppa! And guess what, they had a whole Coppa at the deli counter in Spar! We swiftly divided the almost 2kg into 3 parts and vacuum-sealed them...and be happy for a while :-) Afterwards, we headed straight to the Münstertal, with Taufers Castle being our first stop.

Unfortunately, neither billiards nor café :-( So we continued...and suddenly we were at the border with the Swiss. Okay, U-turn. In St. Michael, there was something special that made us laugh :-)Looks like someone didn't survive the sermon...

Relaxation with a homemade Tiramisu in a reusable Mascarpone cup with several South Tyrolean unique duos...okay, the bassist could have practiced more... To finish off, we had a bag of hot chestnuts before continuing the journey.

After that, we headed home for lunch break. In the afternoon, we went to Graun am Reschensee.
