Halstatt showed us the contrast of experiences over the past days. One of our favorite experiences was going though a 7000 year old salt mine. The contrast was ni the hi tech displays that were projected inside the cave to help us understand how salt deposits get formed and locked into places in the earths crust. Really cool cave projections. We went to the mines after walking 7 k around the lake,it was mid day and hot. After walking another 100 steps to the mine entrance, the temperature dropped to 11 centigrade within m 20 steps. Such a contrast. We also experienced the contrast of trying to simplify our travel by buying more stuff.. Both Penny and I are struggling with our day packs. We carry our water, lunch, jackets, walking poles,, etc for our day and in the end, the uneven weight and pull on our shoulders causes us pain. So our efforts simplify, seems to make things harder. We both bought day packs today, designed by experts, the packs have waist bands, shoulder support, ergonomic back supporters. So, here we are using high tech stuff to do very low tech travel, walking. Seems crazy, but we seem to need the advanced design to simplify.
We met up with. Cam today, only a moment as we passes at the boat stop. It was such a surprise to see him, so random that we were on that boat and there he was too. The boat run every hour, so there were lots of other choices.
More later,
Carol
