Day 13 - Kirchberg in Tirol, Austria - more hiking: 2019-07-10

Today is the BIG day up the Kitzbuehl!  In a bit of a sad turn of events, Maya has been struggling with a serious migraine, and even with sunglasses it hurts a *lot*.  Since my ankle has only recently turned a little more problematic, Maya and I stayed back while the rest of the gang headed into the clouds.  It was sad, but so am I when Maya is sick  :(  After a full day of more rest and darkness, it started to help, and the next day she was a bit better.

Maya and I don't really have any photos from our time in the house (I wrote more, did some dishes, caught up on the world's events - I'm pretty out of the loop here, which is nice in a way).  But I did get some good pics from Amy and will do my best at narrating in third-person.





Look at these views!  They remind me of the views we had 6 years ago when we started on the *other* side of the Kitzbuehl in Skt. Johann.



I remember this cross/monument from 6 years ago - it means you made it!



Maya and I were in brief contact with them on their way home, so we left to meet them at the bus station.  The goals then were: 1). get good food, 2). minimize walking to get aforementioned food, 3). rest and sleep.

We ended up striking out on a couple of restaurants that looked good, but weren't open...  In the end, we went to a pretty traditional German restaurant that we had been to on our first day. 

She's either a movie star or had a migraine (why not both?!?)


This creepy smirking bastard is seemingly everywhere

As a slight counter-point to my assertion (and hope!) that the worldwide population of clowns is decreasing (attrition due to aging demographics, etc., because who the hell under the age of 70 would have EVER thought a clown was not terrifying?).  This Frankello chap looks like a real winner.  "I do it because I like to make children happy!"Yeah, happy when they get to LEAVE!"

Almost back to the place!

Some of the advertising is so avant-garde, some of it is adorably naive.

Ahh, well.  After dinner, we grabbed some ice cream and headed back for sleep - we're all hoping that Maya is feeling better in the morning.  But we're also quick (always!) to remind ourselves that even a bad day in the Alps beats most other good days, so we'll be fine.
