we're in austria and we have just arrived to the beautiful mountain town of kittsville
and behind me is the hotel we'll be staying at and i'm going to be exploring kittsburg and after
that it's style here and tyrol but before we head out i wanted to show you my room let's pause here
for a second because i'm actually not in austria i'm still in london and i am not yet traveling
internationally so i figured i would resurrect some old footage from trips i took in the past
and this particular trip took place back in 2017 so it's a pretty long time ago but it's definitely
worth sharing because it's full of extreme sports and the great outdoors which i think is incredibly
topical now because that's just a good place to be so i'm gonna unpause this now that i've explained
it all and a go on that room tour because it was pretty incredible this is where you come in and
the first thing you see aside from yourself in the mirror is a column there are like several columns
in the room then here we have a walk-in closet which by the way i don't even have at home all
right heading out here is a little living room some gorgeous art but the best part of it all is
obviously the view which you may have seen behind me already but come on come on here is the bedroom
which looks spectacular it's got a tv but i think we're gonna be looking outside a lot more because
this is our view but the tour isn't over here is our bathroom they even left some orchids here
there's more okay here is a second bathroom with an amazing rain shower and
a second toilet and a mirror honestly i am over the moon this is an incredible incredible suite
would not mind teleporting there right now um the reason i was in such a swanky hotel by the way is
that i was attending a conference enteral at the beginning of my trip and they took
care of the hotel i'm not sure i could afford this one um but it was really really fun and
travel blogging conferences are quite different to your like regular work conference uh in that
they are basically just giant parties so i have put it all together into a 30 second montage
is
well that's the conference done and now we can get on with those extreme sports that i mentioned
earlier and we're about to travel to a new town in order to do that called itself hello from
outstanding we have just driven two hours from kidsville to get here today we're gonna be really
active we're gonna hop on our bikes we're going white water rafting later but before we do that i
wanted to show you this gorgeous room that we have here this is our living room we even get a little
cooking station which is flat screen tv and then we have our bed the actual most important bit you
see that that is a mountain peak with snow on it after checking in we went to get food in town at a
place called post hotel castle they had a really nice traditional austrian menu i was actually
vegan at the time but meat dishes are really what they're best known for after lunch we explored
some of ut's style just to stretch our legs before our first adventure a little e-biking trip
i'd never been on an electric bike before and it's safe to say i had a few reservations
i used to have a bit of a thing against um e-bikes because i thought it's a little bit
you know it's cheating but actually it's nice to get to the top of a hill without breaking a sweat
i'll be honest i still prefer regular bikes but it was a really fun experience
now i'm gonna stop talking and let you enjoy the views for a bit
so that was day one and frankly just at the beginning check out what we did
on the next day because it just keeps getting progressively more and more adventurous as we go
we just had a very lovely breakfast which consisted of the biggest bread selection
i've ever seen and now we are at area 47 which is not to be confused with area 51
this has nothing to do with aliens but it has everything to do with being active water skiing
it has zip lining it has white water rafting and that's exactly what we're going to start with
tyrol is a great place for white water rafting because it's adventurous but not scary what i
found much scarier was this slide at area 47 and in order to warm up i decided to go on the slide
next to it first they called it a surf slide and you get a little board that you can slide down
on and then it was time for the real thing oh my god
becky what are your thoughts i'm just so pumped with an adrenaline and we keep wanting to go on
everything yes and we just did that slide that you may see behind me and right now we're gonna do
a huge zipline i wouldn't say i'm someone who's particularly scared of heights i mean
i've jumped out of an airplane once but for some reason this little climb absolutely terrified me
i genuinely barely made it across and um i think that really comes across in the following clip
oh no i did not enjoy this that was terrible that was so terrible
good morning everyone so after an action-packed day yesterday you know
white water rafting and flying through the air i wasn't sure how we'd be able to top it but
we found a way we are going mountain biking down a really tall mountain
we have a guide with us he's going to teach us how to do it really fast but fairly safely so i
am all patted out and ready to go first of all we took a cable car to the top of the mountain
despite it being summer there was still snow at the summit which made for some
pretty incredible views once we arrived our mountain bikes were already waiting for us now
i grew up cycling in the mountains every single summer so i figured this would be pretty similar
and well i couldn't have been more wrong mountain biking of this sort is very intense so intense in
fact that every single person in my group fell off their bike at some point in our journey
luckily my friend was fine but i'm not gonna lie i was very very happy when we reached the restaurant
and could get off our bikes we spent the rest of the day at this futuristic spa called aquadome
before hitting up another mountain the next day but this time to go off it rather than down
another day to roll another adventure yesterday we did mountain biking and today we're doing my
first ever via ferrata and we're going to be climbing up to strip and fall which is a huge
beautiful waterfall here in the area so i'm very excited but yet again
a little bit scared a via ferrata means iron path in english this refers to the
metal rungs and ladders that enable visitors to cross otherwise tricky steep rocky terrain
these paths come in varying degrees of difficulty this one in stubenfeld
was for beginner to intermediate climbers and as a complete novice i found it perfect it was a little
bit scary at times but in a way i found it very manageable most notably though the views were
this is incredible scary
you can go on a via ferrata by yourself but i definitely recommend hiring a guide if you're
new to this it's not like you can just turn around and get off halfway through the journey if things
get too intense and a guide will be there to get you through safely safely and sanely
what a day via ferrata is like my new favourite thing i thought it was going to be super scared
not a huge fan of high schools but i wasn't i rocked like honestly i'm so proud of myself
so that was my adventure pack trip to tyrol if you have any questions about the places i visited
