A new day, a new country.

 The journey yesterday from Poland was long and surprisingly tiring. Even though I was sat in a comfortable seat for 10 hours, I think constant motion is in itself a tiring thing.




Most of the landscape was similar to everything I'd seen on previous journeys- flat, agricultural pasture, interspersed with thick pine forests. That all changed on the journey from Vienna to Graz.

Mountains reared up and the classic image of Austria and its picture book villages in the valleys appeared.  So different to the flat plains of Germany and Poland.









After 3 hours, it was another slow walk with backpack to find the latest accommodation, which this time is a self contained 3 storey apartment!!

Feeling pretty exhausted, I got an early night after some grocery shopping. I have a fully equipped kitchen  with dishwasher and washing machine. Needless to say, the few clothes that I have(apart from what I'm wearing!) went straight into the washing machine.



Time to chill out after an exhausting few days in Krakow...

Final day at sea

Weather wise, a perfect day to spend at sea- hot sunshine, so most people were on deck. I think I might have annoyed some people as I ran rond the running track 30 times. The running track was bordered by a lot of sun loungers! At the end of the day, on our approach to Vancouver, we sailed through some really pretty fjords.

Up Close and Personal with a glacier

 Day 3 took us (almost) to the face of  Hubbard Glacier.  The blue colours of the ice are beautiful and inspiring. The ship stayed quite close (0.5kmaway) for about 2 hours enabling lots of photos to be taken . Here are just a a few. We saw a huge chunk fall off the front of it. Our friend caught it on video:  It really is awesome to be this near to a glacier and to see it in action.

Last day of the whole trip- and my 3 months of travelling

Image
 Our last day in Vancouver was spent on a really great trip to Squamish, where there some more waterfalls, and the "Sea to Sky Gondola", taking us 1000 metres above the inlet for some great views. ... at that ended our epic trip to Canada and Alaska.  Exhausted , but happy that we'd seem so much in such a short time. I think a summer break from travels is needed now... Signing off until the next epic trip (all will be revealed when I next see you). Rob
