Ok I am a little bit less angry about the computer situation but still annoyed. Anyways today was quite the day first we planned on taking the gondola up the mountain, but the tourism office said its really too cloudy to be good so we didn't, then we decided to take the bus to a near by waterfall, but we realized that we can take a steam train to it another day so... we were quite stumped on what to do. At the last minute at the bus stop we asked some people who were speaking english about where to go, amazingly they were from Kindersly and Lethbridge, ssmall world!!! Anyways we got on a bus not really knowing too much and then the one place we were going to go to a Gorge, the driver tells us it is closed today cause of the rain, so we are sitting on the bus stumped again and who gets on at the next stop, our Sask, Alberta friends. They tell us they are going to the dam , so we say sure and go with them not nknowing what to expect. WOW WOW WOW, This dam is up up in the mountains we had to take 1 bus through 1km long tunnle, then go up a open fuctular lift then take another bus on a 10 min journy that incled more tunnles, hairpin turns and sheer cliffs. When we arrive it is indescribable( we will see if we can put up pics) green mountains, snow covered peaks 3 dams and 2 lakes. If anyone has seen Band of Brothers this lake was the one he jumped into in the end seen!! Anyways, we were blown away, we had lunch with our sask friends Rika one of the ladies spoke german so it helped with ordering alot, had agreat lunch talking english with other people then we headed back out side to explore. At this time a cloud had come in and we are up so high we are actually in the cloud, you couldnt see more than 1 block ahead, so cool!
The cloud passed and we walke around took lots of pictures and came back into town, where it is now raining:( oh well mabey tomorrow it will be nicer. It was a great day!!
oh P.S Grandpa you guys must visit this place I thought of how much you would of loved where we were today it is called Kitzsteinhorn-Gletscherbahnen Kaprun
Hi guys that does sound like an awesome place, I know I bought Band Of Brothers for dad a few yrs back not sure if he has seen it ( it was in DVD format haha) That does suck about the laptop but comes with the risk of buying refurbished...The world really is a small place, it was just this spring that I took my 1st trip ever to Kindersly,SK. haha... maybe one day I will get to Austria, Cody really enjoyed alcatraz and all the history , im sure he would enjoy anything WWII and all that history Europe has to offer ...
ReplyDeletetake care enjoy your continuing Odyssey!!
Love you & miss you both !!!
