Europe » Austria » Tyrol » Fiss August 29th 2017

Yesterday was just a moving day. This new location was very hard to get to. Multiple HAIR PIN turns (my shoulders hurt) but the village is interesting. Very complicated streets with names that are un pronouncible (is that a word?) The apartment is nice. Too bad there always up 2 flights of stairs. So here we are. Some pictures... read more

This day could not have been nicer ! We thought we would stay 3 nights but have decided to stay a week. Yesterday was not a good day for me, but today I'm feeling better. We probably need to slow down some. ? There are about 6 cable car routes, so it is fun getting up high. The views are extraordinary. Hope you like the photos. Lowell... read more

Europe » Austria » Tyrol » Fulpmes August 26th 2017

Hello again. It's me your favorite blog meister ? Where are the weeks going. And where has the month gone ? Sept. Is just on the doorstep. Today we did a high altitude hike above the valley. The day was fine but late this afternoon, big thunder and heavy rain. It was good that we were back in our apartment ? The images of the hike do not give the impression of how steep the trail was to the down side. We did not bring our hiking staffs (unfortunately) So we had to be very careful in places. Here are some photos from today Tomorrow we once again will go to the large cabin cars to the Stubaital Glacier. Oh by the way Frankie, I do not speak Austrian but I speak Australian ?

Europe » Austria » Tyrol » Innsbruck August 25th 2017

Well today we took a bus to Innsbruck. I'ts not far, about 40 min. For me Innsbruck is too touristy. Bus loads of tours from all over. You will see in some of the images it gets crowded? So we did that and then escaped back to the beautiful peaceful valley we came from. We have 2 more days here. We leave Mon. but we're not sure which direction we will go. Depends on the weather. We have reservations in the Italian Dolomites on Sept 4th. There is some forcast for bad weather south of us so we will try to avoid that ? Here are some pictures from Innsbruck today. Sorry about all the building images but what can you do, your in the city ? Lowell... read more

Europe » Austria » Tyrol » Neustift im Stubaital August 24th 2017

Hello everybody it's me again ? Today we went to the end of the valley to go up the Stubaital Glacier. It was fantastic. Any picture I post would Never do it justice!! So far this week has been the best so far of the 3 weeks we have been in Europe. Our apartment is great. It is much larger than the one we had in Germany. But one of the extras we receive is the Super Stubai Card that let's us travel up all the lift systems, all the buses, and even a tram from here to Innsbruck and back. Free with this card. And also the mountain bob sled I mentioned in an earlier blog. Did you see it on you tube? Here's some images from today. Lowell... read more

Hello blog viewers, Today we moved about 2 hours from our last location. About 30 miles north of the Italian border. We had been in this valley 23 years ago. It has not changed, it is just as beautiful as ever. We will try to go up as many lifts as we can. We hope to hike a lot this week if the weather is nice. And I think it will be. Our apartment is much bigger than the last. It's about twice the size. Hope you like the pictures ? Lowell... read more

Europe » Austria » Tyrol » Sankt Anton am Arlberg August 18th 2017

Hello again blogsters. We took the bus down town St Anton as we hadn't explored that before. Not a whole lot of folks there as they must be up on the mountain as it was a very nice day. We did take the regional bus to Landeck later about an hour from here. The ride was nice but Landeck was not at all special. Tomorrow the forcast is for rain. Not sure we may take the car and run up to Lech. An up scale ski resort about a 30 min. drive. Sunday is our last day here and the weather is supposed to be OK. I'm sure we will go somewhere. Here is today's images Best Lowell... read more

Very nice hotel

Europe » Austria » Tyrol » Sankt Anton am Arlberg August 17th 2017

Well it's already thursday. The lift we took today only runs Wed. and Thurs. It goes high above the valley below. We took a gondola car for the next 30 minutes and then we followed this narrow rock strewn trail for 1 1/2 hours high above the small villages. At that point we turned back because we would have had to descend a very steep trail down to the villages below. This day the views were all we could have expected. Back to the cable car station and down. Wish you could have been with us. All for now. Lowell... read more

Europe » Austria » Tyrol » Sankt Jakob in Defereggen August 16th 2017

Hello blog readers, We had rain last night and early this morning. So we went to the M-Prise (grocery store) to stock up on vitals for the rest of the week. A lot of things were cheaper then in the states but some were more. In the afternoon we did a hike above the village of St. Jakob. In the late afternoon we took a bus ride up and down the valley. Here are some photos from today. Am I sending to many pics? Let me know what type of photos you would like. You never know I might find something ? Lowell... read more
