  • 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 forwhile 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
