We saw those kind of markings in Germany
We saw those kind of markings in Germany. We then had no idea what it was or wha tit meant. We googled it and this is what we wrote in our blog when we posted a photo ot it: "Chalking the door. In some towns in Germany we noticed that people had written 20¤C+M+B+22, or slight variations thereof, on the doors to their homes. It turns out that this is a Christmas tradition among Roman Catholics and some other faiths."

Untermieming

Like a postcard
That is just the way I think of Austria. Small village with towering mountains behind it. /Ake

Micro Europe
I’ve popped back in on this site and lo and behold you are out traveling and blogging!! Seems I’ve missed a few, will need to catch up. And now you are headed for USA? Fantastic. Say hello to MerryJo & Dave for me! Glad to see you are well and doing life grand.

Micro Europe!
Yay, thanks Andrea! Great to hear from you again, and to see you on here again! I've missed your blogging and travelling. I hope you've been able to do a bit recently, or instead are enjoying life still on the vineyard - still very impressed by that project!! Will indeed say hello to Merry Jo and Dave. I can't wait to be in the USA again! :D

A great idea.

Chair Lift

It was definitely a chair lift into the clouds 😊

LLL.... a beautiful micro-state
We found those Alpine Mountains appealing. It was warmer when we were visiting. Wow, that sounds like a great chair lift ride to the top! The spooky forrest walk would have been right up my alley. Once again, you managed a great deal in a short time. Thanks for taking us along on this journey.

LLL - I like it! Liechtenstein was little, and it was lovely. I thought it was particularly special up in the mountains with the snow. Thanks for following along with me in my journey 😊

Thanks Ake - I liked the position of those trees. This is also a Roxette song 😄

What a wonderful part of the World to spend your time Alex. Stunning vistas and backdrops. I have posted some of your pics in TB's "Cathedrals, grand churches, mosques & places of worship" thread in the Photography Forum. Check 'em out.

Thank you
Thank you Dave, and I feel honoured that some of my photos have made it to this forum. Places of worship was definitely a theme for my time in the Austrian Tyrolean Alps. All the best 😊

What a change!
I just finished reading your Iceland blogs, and what a change Monaco must have been! I admit I don't have much interest in Monaco, but it sounds like you enjoyed your time there very much.

Change
Indeed, good point - it was very different to Iceland. The only thing that was similar was the expense, lol! Thanks for reading Lori 😊

Amazing Iceland!
So enjoyed reading this last entry about your time in Iceland, Alex! How wonderful it was that you were able to see so much on your solo driving tour there -- real freedom! What an amazing country and this blog helped me remember my own limited time there! Visited southern Iceland for a VT Euromeet in 2018, and I seriously regret not going to the Blue Lagoon while in Reykjavik regardless of the price in this seriously expensive country! (Though I was able to get a very decent room for a good price right in Hlemmur Square!) I'm eager to read your latest blogs from your newest adventures!

Thank you
Thank you for your lovely and very encouraging comment Sylvia, I really appreciate it. Indeed, I very much enjoyed my first proper road trip travels during my time in Iceland. Great to hear you've also been able to make it to this amazing country, and well done on being able to find a centrally-located accommodation at a decent price - no mean feat in such a country! I'm saddened that the VT group is no more, and would perhaps recommend the TCC if you're interested in international travel meets - they have one every few years or so. Thanks again for your encouragement, and all the best 😊

Mariahilfstrasse

Colorful reflections
An evening walk is always a treat.

Colourful
Yes, the lights and those reflected in the water made this a memorable evening walk.

Hanging Bridge

Exploring
Did you cross this bridge? It does not look as wonky as some from the past.

Hanging Bridge

Exploring
Yes, I crossed this bridge. It looked sturdier than it felt - it was wobbly, slippery and the gaps between the slats were larger than I felt comfortable with! It was pretty safe though, I think...!

Flying into Innsbruck

Airplane Windows
Wow! What a setting sun can do to a view.

Airplane Windows
I'm like you I think, I like taking photos from aeroplane windows. Yes, the setting sun added a lovely colour to this one.
