🇦🇹 Innsbruck to Gries am Brenner. 🇦🇹

Can't quite describe how, but it feels like everything has been pure chaos lately. And chaos is a very fitting word for the Brenner pass, with autobahns, A-roads, trainlines, cycles paths, and walking routes all spewing through this one valley leading into Italy. Not much of note to say today otherwise; tarmac was definitely dish of the day, and my shins feel like they might've overeaten so to speak. Talking of eating, I found myself chomping on an entire strudel straight out the packet for a large chunk of the day (as if I already didn't look ridiculous enough in my blindingly orange shirt, khaki waterproof trousers and decathlon aquashoes while I waited for my boots to dry). Oh, and how about this view from Austrian McDonalds btw.

Thanks for all the interest being shown lately btw, honestly makes my day:)Read more
