Zell am see

Austria:

Today was another full day of travel but we stopped in Slovakia again, this time in the capital of Bratislava. We visited the castle here but even though the country is small the castle made it feel like it is smaller to be honest. It did have a great look out point where you could see Hungary and Austria at the same time- that was cool. It was amazing staying in Austria because it was the first time we weren't in a huge city. We were in a very small town in fact but it was extremely beautiful. Like picture perfect beautiful. The next day was an early rise but it was so worth it. We had a tour guide who was an Australia which was so good for the accent. It was pretty difficult getting up the mountain. Two girls had to pull out- that was actually a hard moment because the Australian told us than that it was only a third of the way- I thought we were nearly there. But before long we were at the peak of our hike. It was indescribable! It was incredible! The view, the smell, the feeling of making it to the top- absolutely amazing. We than walked a little longer before having a little bit of lunch. Before long we were off again this time starting our decline down the mountain. At the bottom we got to go swimming. It was freezing- the water was running so the sun had no chance to warm it up. But it was dead set freezing.
