Next on the list of places to visit is Austria. It's beautiful and very much reminds me of NZ. Extreme sports and skiing are big here, although there wasn't much snow around since it's summer. First thing off the bus we took a mountain bike ride in the town of Hopfgarten (the little town we stayed) following the river up. The bike ride wasn't very far (25km return) but we had amazing scenery and views.
After a few sausages for lunch we headed out to go PARAGLIDING it was awesome! Loved every minute of it. Incredibly views from up that high, my pilot even let me steer for a bit, very jealous of his job!
Then this morning we went white water rafting. It was only a grade 3 so not too intense. But it was great fun, even took a quick swim in the ice cold river full from the melted snow off the mountains. Now I'm pretty keen to head to NZ next yr and try the white water rafting there.
Leaving the cold and mountains now and heading for Italy, first stop Venice. Will try update again soon.
