WONDERFUL WATERFALLS!!!

Called the "Waldbachstrub," this short hike through the woods leads you along a roaring stream to several incredible waterfalls.

 Three streams come together in this beautiful alcove.
 Along the path this small waterfall begins to build your excitement and anticipation for what is still to come. The roaring stream alone is almost enough to make the walk complete.


 As you wander along the forest path next to the stream you find huge boulders that have come down off the mountain, and are now covered with moss, and even tall trees growing out of them.

An occasional swimming hole along the way tempting you to jump in, if the water were just not sooooo cold!

 The trail, and the stream start to get a bit steeper, which means more waterfalls along the way.

The stream roars on down the canyon next to the path.

The turquoise water is so clean and clear.
 Now the stream is getting really rugged as it weaves its way through the boulders down the canyon.
 The first set of falls come into view.

The finale: An alcove full of incredible waterfalls.

"Hoher Dachstein" what a mountain.

We decided to take a day trip and spend some money to ride one of the trams up the Dachstein, the highest mountain in Upper Austria. There are a couple of trams, one which goes higher from the south side, and this one, the "Krippensteiner Seilbahn." At the top they have built this metal thing called the "five fingers," where you hang out over the cliff for a view.   Not much grows up here at this altitude except low lying shrubs and a whole lot of wildflowers. Wow, what an impressive mountain.   A whole bunch of crazy dare-devils come up here to jump off the mountain into the air.   OK, ready, set, go, and run like your life depends on it! It does, by the way!   If you catch the draft just right you go up rather than down.   We made it to the top... of this part of the mountain anyway. Incredible views of the valleys below. There's the Hallstättersee.

Griasdi, Do sa'ma! (translation) Hello there, here we are!

OK, looks like we made it, and are off to our two year adventure.  Despite spending most of the first month getting our visa paperwork together, getting insurance, finding a place to live, buying furniture and other furnishings for our new home, and all that other not so fun stuff, we have been able to spend a little time checking out the beautiful sites and touristy things around here. Bad Ischl for the day Our new home. Let's hope they let us stay. The winter hasn't been very wintery. Going for a walk up the neighborhood street Across the street from the house An evening walk at the beach The Attersee (our lake) the Almsee Yep, it's winter here, but less snow than usual

BRAC, CROATIA - Olive orchards, tiny fishing villages, and rocky coastline

 Made it to Brac, one of many islands along the Dalmatian coast. To get over to the island you have to drive or walk onto a ferry boat. . Ah, the sleepy little town of Supetar, the largest village on the island of Brac. It's October, past the tourist season, but you would think there would still be a few people here. The weather is mild, ocean still warm, but COVID travel restrictions killed their tourist business. We were the only tourists in a huge resort of probably 500 units. Pools were all drained, restaurants all closed, etc. The usually busy tourist options sat still, like this nice little boat that usually provides sailing tours. Ah, but the swim beaches were open. We practically had the entire beach and swim bay to ourselves. Water was still warm, so we swam around and watched the fish circle our feet and legs. Perfect opportunity to lay around in the sun and dangle your legs in the ocean. Spent a couple of days driving around the island to the other small villages. Not a ...
