Excursion day to the Krimml Waterfalls - I’m determined to get to the top this time! I manage it… in 1 hour 10 minutes.. the superfit made it in about 50 minutes. Bought walking poles for this particular day, but left them on the campsite - doh! 16 people made it to the top, others chilled at the half-way restaurant or elsewhere. No time to see side-paths or the base! We took longer than expected to get here, and then wait a bit for a couple who got lost on their way back to the coach. Time for a quick photo stop back across the valley on the way back, although the day has now disappeared in rain. Head off towards Mayrhofen - taking in a couple of refuelling stops and a slight detour in the wrong direction! Finally make it to Mayrhofen around 4pm, where we have an hour to wander around, buy unhealthy snacks and see the place in the rain… apparently this is the largest village in the area and a real tourist hot-spot! Back in time for John to make dinner, after which meeting and chill-out time, as people hope that the weather clears up for paragliding in the morning.
