[Music] We’re currently in Austria. Um, it’s been a long 6hour ride to get here. And now we’re going to be here for a week. We’re planning some hiking, some walking, some riding, everything. But the weather kind of betrayed me. As you can see, it started raining really hard and it’s supposed to rain a lot of the upcoming days. And you know, it makes me feel kind of disappointed and angry, but also Austria is also beautiful even when it’s raining, so it’s not that bad, but it’s just uncomfortable. But anyways, uh we I was planning to go swimming outside to outside cool, but it’s closed because of the rain. And so we’re now taking a ride to a village that is near to the village that we live in. and we are going to a swimming pool that in my opinion is the best and the not the best but the prettiest swimming pool I have ever been to. So, let’s go. Right now, it’s the other day in the morning. It’s like 10:00 a.m. and it was quite a slow morning, but now we’ve decided to get moving and we’re probably heading towards a 20 km trip. I hope it will be this one because the some say that they want to go the short one, others they want to go this 20 km one. I want to go to 20 km one. So I hope it’ll work out. [Music] Guys, I have finished my walk. The walk was not actually 20 km. It was just 7. But those were quite nice. 7 km. It was awesome to just walk here and see all the mountains and forest. I I just love it here, guys. That’s just it. And the run. It was a bit longer than I wanted. I for the Garmin badge, I needed 5K. I actually went for a 6K. I didn’t know the length beforehand because Garmin watch kind of failed to plan a runnable road. It was just planning a trail from some highly frequented roads which I was not really a fan of. And so I went on my own and I didn’t look at the map because it was raining. So I did not take my phone and it ended up being 6K which is nice but I’m quite tired. And so I did not go for a ride. I am just planning to do a little exercise because like 2 months ago or maybe even free. I found out that I have a bit flat feet. I never thought that this could be my case, but it is. And so I have uh decided to start exercising my feet because that’s the only way that I can reverse it. Like I don’t need to get any surgery or something because it’s not that bad. that uh it could be one day and so I got to start exercising and I looked up some some exercises online and it was quite complicated until I was like well it’s 2025 we have JBD and so I asked JBD to just generate me some quick exercises that will have an effect on my body but also will not be hard to do and will not be that time consuming because I already struggle with my workout plan and another exercises would not probably be doable and So he gave me like sevenst step plan and he said that it would have an effect. I think it has already but we got to continue. So let’s do it. Good morning. It’s um Monday and uh right now it’s 9:23 and as you may see I’m getting ready for a bike ride. We’re going to ride around the Halt Lake. is supposed to be around 30 km. So, it’s not that long, but it’s going to be on a mountain bike, so that’ll be a bit harder than the uh classic road bike. I’m not expecting it to be a somewhat hard ride, but maybe and this is not certain, so it may not happen. Maybe me and my dad will go by bike to back to the apartment, which will would be 70 km. So, maybe 100k today. We’ll see. But, uh the elevation there would be uh like k1. So that would definitely be hard, but I’m here for a challenge. And yeah, I have not been to the Hasht Lake. It’s like one of the most famous lakes in Austria, I think. And I have not been there since I was like six. So I have quite I have few memories from there, but not many. So I’m excited to see that lake again. [Music] I’m just 3 kilometers in and I must already say this is just so gorgeous. Like look at this. Like not even in my memories wasn’t this beautiful. This village must have very painful history. Ouch. This was very much near and kind of running out of water. It tastes good. Look at how gorgeous it is. Wow. So guys, I have just found out that we were actually not in the house town, but we’re just going around Hash Lake. We’re actually in random like now. My dad said that it isn’t random, but I have never heard of it. So, for me, it is. I’m kind of angry right now because they said like we’re not riding the 70k, which kind of annoyed me because I was excited for that. So gorgeous. We are in hospital and actually it’s worse than Prague. Like look at all these people. What the heck? Like this is supposed to be mountains Austria and not some city. Kind of makes me furious. Guys, this is our TV screen saver. Good morning, guys. It’s Tuesday. Yesterday I did not um record you much in the evening because I was just tired, you know. Today it’s now it’s 8:25. Wow, it’s early. Like I get up at 6:30, so I’ve been awake for a long time. But um today it should be the west best weather of the entire week we’re here. And so you know, as you can see, I’ve taken my tank top. I’m really getting ready for the hot sunny day and the tanning. just getting energy from the nature and so because you know it should be very nice. We’re planning on going or not planning we’re actually going on the biggest trip of this entire week. I don’t know how long it’s supposed to be. It probably won’t be longer than 20k. I don’t even know if it’s even that. But it should be very nice. Hey girl. They were going somewhere here or maybe even behind this hill. I don’t really know. Oh, hello. [Music] [Music] Blockfield. Here we go again, guys. This is insane. Oh my god, that’s crazy. And there’s Dashstein. I mean, this hike was definitely worth it. Next time. God, this is [Music] I can’t believe it, but we’re finally on a road. And there’s even water here. Look. Oh. It’s the other day. Um, I feel like I’m a terrible vlogger because I vlog only while on the trip and then nothing comes out of me. But I think that’s kind of part of the balance I’m trying to set between me recording and me living the life I’m living. So yeah, I hope you don’t mind. But yesterday uh it was at the end I think 21 km long hike. You can see this Traa um statistics here. And after that, I lay in bed for like an hour and then I went swimming. At 100 p.m. It’s supposed to start raining and now it’s 9 and we’ve still not departured. Uh we have this ambition of going or they have the ambition of riding up with our bikes one hill, one certain hill. And uh I don’t have that ambition because I think that’s quite um unreachable plan. But I will try. You know, as I said, I’m here for a challenge. But I don’t really think that’s realistic goal. I think like we’re going to reach the middle station and then we’ll go then we’ll take the cable car because um and then we’ll ride trails down, but it’ll be an easy trail. Like I’m not a trail rider. I hate trails. So yeah, it’s going to be painful. It’s going to be tough. But I have I’ve tried it like twice already. And I have survived without any injury. So today I’ll be again careful guys. I don’t know why I’ve agreed to this. This is horrible. Oh, look at them. I want to try that one day. Anyways, I am exhausted and I’m like halfway through. Guys, it’s there. [Music] Guys, I have made it to the top. I’m super exhausted right now, but I’m here. I’ve got my water. I’m super hungry, but luckily mom has some nuts left. Hey guys, I’m back from the bike ride. It was like so crazy. I was so tired. It was like the highest elevation I have ever ever done in my life. So yeah, new record on Straa. And now we are It’s 8:00 p.m. and we are on a walk here. Just look at this. This is insane. Why can’t this be my home? Good morning. It’s like 7:03. I’ve been awake for like an hour because we are climbing a via Ferda today. Um, it’s supposed to start raining uh from 11 and so we got to be quick and so we’re going to climb two tiny but not very easy. [Music] First ferala done, guys. The second ferala is done and we got to get back down. I’m sorry I did not record anything, but it was quite hard actually and I’m kind of scared of the way down because you can’t really see it because there’s the mist, but it opened a few times and it it’s really high. Like we’ve climbed 454 m. [Music] We’ve climbed that one. Wow. The view is here. Started back there down where you even can’t see it. We’re done. And then on the seventh day, we just went on a approximately 20 kilometer bike ride. It was very easy and that was kind of it guys. I hope you like this video. It was quite fun to make it. It was very different from from what I post normally, but but you know, the only thing that is constant in life is change.
