Great transfer today through the Alps. The view was spectacular and the kids took lots of pics. 8 hours total with a 1 hour stop for lunch. Most of us had weiner schnitzel and it was great.

Arrived at Austria Cup and things going smoothly. Teams from Romania, Italy, Bulgaria, Saudia Arabia, Brazil, Austria, Algeria, etc., as we total 20 countries.

Our accomodations are simple classrooms with mattresses with 1 team per room. After dinner we had a light session which attracted a lot of fans. Boys ended the night with a great and lively Stars 'N Stripes song. Kids are ready to play and it shows. With rain in the forecast I hope we get the chance. 

More tomorrow.
