Hills (but walking, not running)

 After my long 10 mile run this morning, I didn't take it easy - I set off to walk up one of the nearby hills that overlook the city of Graz.

Like most other European cities, Graz has  a superb tram system, that's very easy to use and navigate.  A No. 1 tram took me to the start of the walk.   It was tough uphill climbing all the way. Surrounded by trees, there was no view of the city.  At the top, I lost my phone signal, and got hopelessly lost.  It was an interesting feeling- no technology to rely on; totally relying on your wits and intuition.   A refusal to panic even though there was no one else about, I decided to carry on walking the way I thought I should go. I eventually stumbled on an old sign which (sort of) pointed the way.  45 minutes later, I was back in civilisation, with other walkers and bikers coming into view.  Phew! 


 20 minutes later, I was back on a tram back to my apartment..  

One last look at the city's iconic buildings:

 Needless to say, I'm completely knackered now.  It's another early start tomorrow for an all day journey to Frankfurt.  On the (almost) last leg of this amazing trip

A rail trip of a lifetime

The Rocky Mountaineer rail trip from Banff to Vancouver was absolutely amazing. Almost every minute of the 2 day trip took our breath away. I really would encourage everyone to do it if they can. Not only was it extremely comfortable, with good seats, great food, unlimited free drinks all day and huge panoramic windows, the views of the changing landscape were fantastic. The on board guide was funny and very knowledgeable about all stages, and some great stories to tell. The weather had improved dramatically, so we left Banff in bright sunshine. Passing through the Rockies, after about an hour we went through the world famous two spiral tunnels to take us down to the river bed level, which we pretty much followed via three rivers and two lakes to Vancouver. Leaving the mountains behind we entered a semi arid area for our overnight stop at Kamloops.   Luggage was transferred directly to our hotel room, but they managed to lose my case for about an hour! Early next morning, we s...

Time to relax

I'm taking full advantage of my first class interrail pass. I have this whole compartment to myself!    - an opportunity to chill out and take it easy before tomorrow's half marathon. I thoroughly recommend travel by train in Europe.  Trains always run on time, and are immaculately clean and comfortable. I'm currently on my way to Poland from Frankfurt(Oder).   I don't realise there were two Frankfurts in Germany.  The one I'm travelling from is the Other (Oder) one!

A walk and a climb...

An early morning walk to Bow Falls in the cold (2 degrees!) air was great. Rocky Mountain scenery at its best. Not far away was the famous Banff Springs Hotel, which we went to have a look at. Deep pile carpets, huge rooms and opulent decor was what we experienced.  I can't imagine how much it costs to stay here. At mid day we headed up by local shuttle bus to Sulphur Mountain to get on the Banff Gondola lift. I was particularly looking forward to this;  my dear Mum and Dad had taken this trip when they came here on their trip of a lifetime in 1988, and talked fondly of how excited they were to have done it. Cold and misty weather meant that the views were to be severely limited.  We realised that our hopes of spectacular photos were dashed, when it started to snow half way up! Snow in June!!! Actually not as cold at the top as we expected, we managed a short walk along the tops amongst the pine trees.   We stayed for a snack lunch of soup and sausage rolls befo...
