Day 7 Water, water everywhere

Throughout the past week, as we have walked up and down the Moll Valley, there has been a constant background noise - a bit like when you are camped at the beach. Here, however, it is the sound of running water. Over every hill, around every bend is melting snow, a trickle crossing the track or a torrent raging down a ravine.
The last few photos are of Groppensteinschluht gorge which the trail followed for several kilometres.

Finished up in Vienna with a good meal and boutique beers from a local pub in a lovely town square. Caught the fast train to Salzburg this morning. It reached speeds of up to 230kmph and got us there in time for an early lunch and stroll around the old centre.  The main plaza was the meeting point for a classic car rally. Thought Will in particular would like some of these photos . More photos and narrative of fortresses, churches and narrow cobbled streets tomorrow.

Last day, Muggia

Image
After walking for 37 days plus 6 rest days, today we walked into Muggia to end our little walk. The guide book says we have walked 677km. Sue's Fitbit has recorded over a million steps and 725km. By far the majority of those steps were either up a steep slope or down a steep slope, there wasnt much level walking at all. There were 12 days were we climbed over 1000m and 13 days were we desended more than 1000m. On day 5 we climbed 1540m and descended 1316m. Some days we were exhausted but overall it has been a fantastic way to travel this part of tbe world. Climb every mountain Ford every stream Follow every rainbow Until you find your dream

Day 36 Bagnoli Della Rosandra

Image
Left the horses this morning and walked up a steep hill before joining an old railwayline now conveted to a cycle and walking path. The path follows the Italian/Slovenian border for a while and includes several tunnels. Left this path to descend down into the Val Rosandra gorge which we followed into the small town of Bagnoli Della Rosandra. We have now left Slovenia for the last time and will spend our final week or so in Italy. We only have one more day on the Alpe Adria Trail. It seems to have gone very quickly and in some ways tomorrow will be a little sad.
