in
we hiked up a mountain to a cross and the 360 view was incredible. even though it was super cold and windy. it was definitely worth it.

schladming: hike up to the guttenberghaus.

in
on friday afternoon, i decided that i would hike up a mountain that was a 2.5 hour hike and up 800m. my legs are definitely feeling it today. me and two other girls were the last of our group to make it up and i think we did it just under 2.5 hours. at the top we were 2134m high. some others went higher up the mountain but my legs answered that question for me. it was beautiful day yesterday and well, the view was worth the 5 blisters on my feet.

schladming: gondola ride up the planai.

in
ever since i got here, i have looked out my window everyday and said to myself, "before i leave school, i want to go on those gondolas." the other day, one of the girls said to me, "i really want to ride on the gondolas!" and i was like oh my goodness me too! and just like that, we got 6 of us to go up on the gondolas that afternoon. and i am so glad we did. it was a beautiful day. the sky was blue and the sun was out. i couldn't stop taking photos the whole time. the mountains were unbelieveably beautiful. it looked like a bob ross painting. we are planning on going up again when it snows. yes, i am very excited.
