More WW1

Went across the valley the next day and up yet another cable car to a magnificent rocky outcrop – see it with us looking up to it in the first photo

which the Austrians tunnelled into (2nd photo) with lookouts and then proceeded to bombard the Italians across the way – where we were yesterday (3rd photo).  Really nice conditions to fight in – minus 25 degrees in winter and minute rations – apparently the morale of the Austrian men was not good!  They also built storage huts and caves.

We could have walked down via a 1 hr tunnel, but as it was  nice day (as every day has been up to now) we meandered down with these views – much more pleasant, if not as exciting.
