Sat Sept 19 2015   Woke to sunny skies and took off to Mattsee after breakfast.  The trail went thru rolling hills dotted with farms.  We got to Enharting and Johanna wanted to stop at the Church.  When we got there a wedding was just starting so we watched the prelims.  A small band, 5 instruments, started marching down the street and everybody joined in and the walked down to the square, turned around and walked back and into the church.  Everybody was dressed in their best dirndls and lederhosen.  We weren't invited to the ceremony.
We rode on thru woods and over pasture lands to Schleedorf where they were setting up for a fest.  The beer tent wasn't open yet but we got some homemade cake at a stand.  After the cake we rode on towards Mattsee.  This is where Wayne and Margy stayed  yesterday.  We managed to take the right turns though we had to ask a couple of local farmers for direction.  Finally we rolled into Mattsee and went to the church to find W+M.  We sat down and they showed up.  There was a autum fest" going on in the park and we were hungry so we got some sheep bratwurst with potato salad along with beer.  To top it off we had some schnapps and a bread stick.  Then we followed them to out pension Kranzinger.  Johanna and I dropped of our bags and she wanted to go for a ride.  I protested but you know how that goes.  We took off and promptly got lost.  It was like Margy said "you leave the pension and it turns into a wormhole".   We had to go back to the pension and start over.  We backtracked to the church then still had problems finding tomorrows trail but after stopping at the info we got it.  Back to the Pension and shower to get ready for dinner.  Had Italian for a change and it was good.
