and now we're finding we enjoy
being out in nature a lot more being out by the mountains hiking hiking
when you climb a mountain i'm pretty sure that entitles you to a half a liter of beer
could i be any happier about this i don't know could i
ready going
well we somehow managed to finish it all huh we did manage to eat every last bite
all right good morning good morning guys greetings from salzburg once again yeah so the funny story
today is we missed our bus by one minute we took a bus from our house the number one into town what
was the exact stop we got off at so we got off at mirabelle platz and we're supposed to catch
a second bus to go hiking but yeah we just missed it there's another coming in like 40 minutes so
no big deal um so we're just hanging out in the mirabella gardens i mean there are worse places
it's beautiful here and it's so sunny again today again our streak of amazing weather has continued
continue i don't know how we continue to get so lucky but i think we are but today yeah today
is all about hiking in austria isn't it it sure is so there's a destination that's just a short
drive from salzburg when's picking up it is called geisberg and yeah we're just basically going to
be taking a bus up the mountain getting off at one of the hiking points and there are multiple
trails to choose from varying in length and levels of difficulty and yeah we just want to spend the
day in the mountains and then eat some hearty Australian alpine food that's the plan so the whole point
of the exercise is to build up the appetite we are foodies after all so hope you'll come join us yeah
we made it we made it to our stop okay so we rode bus number 151 from the city center from mirabelle
platz and we used our handy little tickets here these are the bus passes we purchased for the
length of our stay in salzburg and they're called the region salzburg state those have come in so
handy so handy it's basically transportation anywhere in the city and this is considered
the city region so bus s bond is there a u-bond here i don't know i don't know we haven't taken
those yet but lots of buses we've done buses and trams yeah it's been super convenient
and we rode to the stop called zistel alm and we're just going to be hiking up yep
up up towards food yes and what a drive up wow beautiful serpentine road we're sharing
it with cyclists we got some amazing views of the city down below and also some of the nice
alpine architecture yes on the way up gosh that was nice i could have just stayed on the bus
it was so fun i'm also glad to be off here yeah yeah we are going to earn our
Austrian food for lunch today and i'll mention also if you don't feel like hiking or you can't hike
um the bus goes all the way to the top to the viewpoint so you could take public transportation
yes enjoy the views hang out eat at a restaurant and then take the bus down yeah or the other
alternative would be just to hike down if you don't enjoy going up if you enjoy going down
more so yeah that's also an alternative but we are going up for sure a day in the mountains yeah
well we just started just started the trail and i want to mention how delicious it smells
because like the road we were just on is lined with restaurants guest houses hotels and it is
approaching lunch time they are clearly already cooking up some schnitzel just smells so good that
you almost want to take a detour and eat i almost it's tempting to not even do the hike i know
hi
saying 30 minutes now
hello hey guys so i'd say we are more than halfway oh yeah up the mountain probably three quarters of
the way there was a really cool there was a fork in the road in the path the first part was kind of
steep and then we decided to go to the right and that ended up being the best decision it was a bit
of a easier incline and also i think a little bit more scenic too less like kind of directly cutting
through the woods yeah i would say the the first trail we were on was kind of like the goats path
like if you want to just march on up there super steep there were a few people going up with like
all those people like really hardcore no double pulls head to toe hiking gear yeah but this one
this trail is nice because it kind of zigzags up the mountain so it's not as steep it's like a
lesser incline so it's been quite enjoyable and yeah we thought we'd stop have a little snack i
brought some apples some mandarins it's so nice to be having mandarins this time of year they're
usually not available in canada until later in the later in the fall right another thing we
wanted to talk about is just how we're realizing like change in our lives our travel preferences
have really changed in the last five years three to five years we used to be all about the biggest
cities in the world put us in seoul tokyo hong kong istanbul london new york city wherever
we were thrilled to be in the big cities and now we're finding we enjoy being out in nature a lot
more being out by the mountains hiking hiking maybe less busy cities like salzburg has been
a nice medium-sized city to be based for a while yeah but like my personal preference
now being in my 30s is definitely like more rural towns and just places closer to nature smaller
populations and we're both from small small rural area so this is kind of what we grew up him
um i think we were excited by the massive cities because it was a big change big change and i mean
it's just a way to to really experience different places is going to the biggest city but now lately
we've been enjoying more of these types of trips and you may have noticed that in the types of
travels we're doing over the last few years we've been doing more stuff in patagonia more road trips
in canada i'm really enjoying it yeah so we hope you've been enjoying this hike we certainly have
it's just so peaceful like there's no one else on this trail have you noticed we haven't seen
another hiker in a very long time so we ventured off to this section yeah everyone's doing the
hardcore straight up so just gonna enjoy our food and we'll see you up at the top for lunchtime
made it to the top cheers i was just gonna say when you climb a mountain i'm pretty
sure that entitles you to a half a liter of beer at least that's what the rules we live by
can't wait to try this this is the local draft oh
it's so exciting ice cold beer at the top of the mountain we've earned it
you know what that's never beers never tasted so good and i'm not saying this is the best
beer i've ever had in my life but this is a moment where the beer just tastes fantastic
and this is so good and it's just so nice to have gone for a hike again today and had this weather
we've got some amazing food coming so just wait for that
guys lunch is here could i be any happier about this i don't know could i i like
like i had the biggest smile on my face of all time i'm so hungry and look at what we got
looks amazing so we got the snacking board which comes with various meats um some hot peppers
mountain cheese grapes actually a whole bunch of different cheeses walnuts berries eggs basically
everything you'd ever need plus bread a basket of bread and then for the maine we went for a classic
that you just can't make we've already been digging in look there's a there's a there's a
missing section yeah that is two corners the keys of spatzler the noodles with the melted cheese
and oh my gosh try it all for them there's also a salad yeah there is it's a little
neglected at the moment noodles are fantastic yeah you cannot go wrong with those ever
ever and well this bread i guess i should begin here let's grab some bread yeah break it in
half customize it maybe why don't we grab this cheese right here yep spread some of that on it
let's grab one of these prosciutto huh make a little sandwich
wonderful wonderful yeah everything's so good we're going to eat it all too i'm
in my happy place right now there's no way nothing gets left behind oh variety i know
so good so good all right so i've been tasked with trying different things in you
yeah so try a little bit of this herb cream cheese you had like a spreadable one there
oh that's nice and thick look at that all right
what should i pair it with what should how about some berries or olives or grapes
get a bit of berries on there those little red berries a walnut a walnut and an olive
there you go right on the sandwich that's it it just puts it on an eclectic mix huh let me get
it all so i can have it in one bite one bite one biter gives it one bite ready to go in ready going
how's that it's actually pretty good that's a really
eclectic assortment of flavors colors ingredients and textures in the mouth
i don't think that would be an award-winning sandwich but i enjoyed that oh we somehow managed
to finish it all huh we did manage to eat every last bite that was amazing i'm so full so good
it's amazing i feel like i'm saying this a lot but again one of my favorite meals here and the
setting is just amazing just outside of salzburg go up the mountain and voila that's what you have
here so it was 35 euros total for two beers half a liter each the snacking board and the large
portion of the case of spatzler and yeah amazing we're leaving we stuffed or satisfied i feel like
i'm satisfied i feel like i'm stuffed i probably helped finish the last bit that maybe i could have
left yeah so our buses and go for another hour so we're gonna walk around and we'll see you in a bit
alrighty guys time to wrap it up yeah that concludes our day of hiking it
couldn't have gone any better yes fantastic hiking challenging enough but not too long
enough to work up an appetite and to be fed one of the best meals of the entire trip yes also these
last two days the day trip we did plus this were two of my favorite days on the whole trip too i
feel like we've got bonus time summer weather yeah like 20 degrees in october that's insane
