Salzburger Strasse 27 Schladming, Styria, Austria, 8970, 43-3687-22-435
... the women then the men to follow. Got to the bottom of the track just in time for the final few riders. Sam Hill won for Australia by 3 seconds with Fairclough of Great Britain in 5th. Great day. The riders partied through the night so we put our ear plugs in and got some sleep ready to move on to Salzburg the next day.<br><br>Here's some pics before the camera broke....<br><br>
Schladming, Styria, Austria clade... room.... but it got the thumbs up as it was clean, tidy and modern. The view from the room was amazing, perfect view of the Planai mountain slope, so good we could have sat there and watched the biking from our room!! Dropped our bags and went for our first meal out since leaving home, chilli fahitas and chicken burgers went down a treat, god bless Papa Joes!!!!
Schladming, Styria, Austria clade... buses at the top of the mountain when we finally got there.<br><br>Mom was already freaked out from the hairpin turns alongside steep drop off cliffs, so she decided to skip the mines. Instead she got to relax in the beautiful sunshine beside the glistening water of the large lake. We, on the other hand, managed to get on the funicular to the mines just in time to catch the last tour.<br><br ...
Hallstatt, Upper Austria, Austria travelingdiva... coffee. Austrians know how to make coffee, that is for sure. After yesterday I had to tell her I would just be having tea from then on. I was bouncing off the walls and my heart was racing for hours afterwords. It reminded me of Starbucks Christmas Blend. If you've ever had that, you know what I'm talking about - WAY too much caffeine! But regardless of the racing heart, we still relaxed on our balcony that morning. We also discovered Bad Ischl that day. We hiked up ...
Bad Ischl, Upper Austria, Austria unbound... funicular compared to the others I’d been on. It was very steep and long. And the views from the top were worth it, even though it was still cloudy and I couldn’t see the tops of the mountains. Instead of taking the funicular back down, I decided to walk down through the woods. It was nice, but I had to go really slowly because it was steep and I had my big backpack on.<br><br>When I got back to town I was hungry and decided to ...
Hallstatt, Upper Austria, Austria zolina... on, and it was the track directly opposite where I got off. Except that the display board for that track was displaying a destination of Vienna, and I think it said something underneath about it being 10 minutes late (in German, of course). A few minutes later I heard an announcement in German and all I could understand was “regional express.” I knew that was probably referring to my train, and I assumed they were announcing a track change for the ...
Hallstatt, Upper Austria, Austria zolina... as when<br>the sunset it got instantly cold....hmm this wasnt in the emma and<br>kathleen brochure! Tuesday morning we got up and went for a walk - well<br>mini hike really. I looked totally out of place... everyone had their<br>hiking boots and poles etc... then here I come, shorts and cardi,<br>converse sneakers and long pink ...
Hallstatt, Upper Austria, Austria emmasadventures... and then hit the road for areas less populated. Destination: Hallstatt in the salzkammergut area of Austria.<br><br>An hour and a half out of Salzburg, the little village of Hallstatt sits perched on the edge of a lake. It is built on a hill, has really only one street suitable for cars, and is in a gorgeous mountainous setting. The camping is half a kilometer out of town, and across the road from the main city park with swimming area in the lake. Wahoo ...
Hallstatt, Upper Austria, Austria mcfarlanes... degrees. It was pretty good, but no pictures allowed inside. We reached Schladming on the Friday afternoon, pitched our tent, then walked down to the action - only there wasn't any. It was the break between the 4 cross qualifying and the finals. So we looked around for a while, checked out a few of the team tents, then went back to our campground. We headed back to watch the finals at 7pm, under lights. (For those of you non-bikies at home, 4 cross is like a mix ...
Schladming, Styria, Austria traylertravels... up, a Mozart (or 10) museum, Mozart Kugels (chocolate and marzipan sweets) which are in every souvenir shop, Mozart postcards, Mozart, Mozart, Mozart ... you get the picture! The funniest thing we saw (to do with Mozart of course) was a museum advertising itself as being the Museum next to Mozart's house. Well, we had no intention of going in but we bumped into a couple of young Americans who had just sold their flats to go through the museum and they told us ...
