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

-
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

-
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
-

-
in my happy place right now there's no way nothing gets left behind oh variety i know

-
yeah so try a little bit of this herb cream cheese you had like a spreadable one there

-
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

-
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
