Supposedly the Scottish speak English, my mother tongue. But when I encountered people with the full blood accent, I could barely understand them.
I'm in Vienna. There's plenty of excellent hiking in the Alps nearby here. =)
With around an hour train ride you're in the big mountains.
Oh yeah, I have great memories of my visit to Vienna, pretty city! Classic! I went every year to Austria to ski when I was younger, so the Alps is for sure familiar terrain. You're a lucky man.
I still haven't mastered skiing. I originally come from the subtopics of Australia. Indeed the Alps are an experience to be lived. It stirs something in me... but that is long story.
It would seem that adventure has always or for a long time, been your constant companion in life.
Oh where to next?
Worldwide tramper,
Ever on the trail,
You happy camper.
