Time for a scenic, deadly bike ride

We visited the Swarovski Crystal factory in Austria...which turned out to be dangerous for some jewellry fanatics. I settled for some earrings.

A great white water raft ride. And, just a small mountain bike ride in the the MOUNTAINS. Wow...My legs, my arms...my Contiki pot belly...they all hurt! I loved this stop of the tour. It was sooo beautiful. The mountains in Austria are so green. And, there are homes built all the way up in the mountains, even on the ski hills. I honestly don't know how people would drive to their homes. The area we visited is a huge ski area in the winter - so I hope to come back here some day! Reminds me of home...except the houses here are way cuter with their window flower boxes and there are cows with bells! Yes, every cow has its own bell. We'd need a lot of bells back home in the land of beef.

Reminds me of Alberta!
