Bonus Video Post – Crossing the Austrian Alps!

After enjoying two weeks in North Austria on a sustainable farm, and spending a relaxing two days exploring Salzburg while couch-surfing (with two naturists - that's another incredible story!), I was feeling fairly confident about making Slovenia in 4 days and meeting my Dad on time for a week's hiking.

While speaking to Mum, it turned out I'd made a horrible mistake and got my dates wrong. I had just two days. An impossible challenge lay and a huge adventure lay ahead.

I had half of Austria and all the Alps to cross. The video shows some of this journey!

So, the first leg is complete, but the adventure continues, as we head onwards! The end of Europe approaches..!

 

 

This video takes a lot of time to make and more importantly, I feel like a complete prat talking to the camera! Please let me know if you enjoyed it and would like to see more!

    You have a good style of communication, and could be a journalist? I’m amazed that you have all the fancy gear for filming etc…a very honest and fun presentation…well done. Sheila Ch

    1. What an amazing journey indeed! It’s completely into the unknown today – the countries are beginning to feel very different. Exciting, but scary!
      Had a great week with Dad and Dan, but could definitely do with a while longer. Not looking forward to Goodbye’s in a few hours time!
