Waterfall

Another view to behold

Co Mayo

Doo Lough, Co. Mayo

This is a particularly beautiful part of Mayo, in the west of Ireland. Quiet and very few cars. Great hill walking country.

Lonely road

Co. Mayo, Ireland

Viola up close!

Nice to see something in flower at this time of year.

Brent Geese

Back in Ireland and the familiar sight of the Brent Geese in flight over Clontarf where I live.

On your bike, it's time to go!

This is the train station at Mariazell. You might notice it is a narrow gauge railway. Our walk has ended and now it is time to go back to Vienna. I really enjoyed the lovely countryside, and the people we met on the way could not have been nicer. I'll be back.

The Remains of the Day

The remains of the day and the end of our walk.

The Basilica

Bikers

This is obviously a popular spot with these bikers.

Wellcoming Band

It was great to just sit in the sun, enjoy a cool beer and listen to the band play.

Mariazell

The centre of Mariazell.

Just a few steps more!

At this point we were just coming into the centre of Mariazell.

Gruss gott in Mariazell

Looking back

Looking back from whence we came!

Only 3km to go.

Mariazell is only 3km away. I won't be long now.

Sparkling River

River with stoney bank

The river was so clear, you could see lots of fish. I don't know what type.

Birch trees on the lake.

Another view.

Hubertussee

Michael, look this way!

It won't be long, yeah!

The last day of our walk and we are nearing our destination, Mariazell.

Shadow of myself

Sort of a self portrait!

Exercises!

Michael has to exercise his shoulder a bit because the rucksack was causing a problem.
