I'm not a super fan of beers but I fancy a good one once per while. I consider Radler as the lamest a beer can be. That said, it's the thing that satisfies your thirst like nothing else and after such a walk I think I deserve one:
Especially when it's served with a view like this:
You know those t-shirts reading "No kangaroos in Austria"? True that, but they have this here at Graz:
Blame the local restaurant for this decoration.
As my tour around the hill of Schloßber ends I must wave goodbye one of its highlights, the tower of Uhrturm:
And the beautiful flowers that beautify the slopes of this hill:
As you can see below, the view remains impressive but the weather starts changing its mind:
I take a different way down which puts me through this rock vagina:
Why are you laughing? It's also slippery when wet.
Post vagina the view is such a joy:
Still I have way to go down:
The view remains a joy though:
Last corners before I level with the rest of Graz:
Now that I am downtown again I take the time to consider what might be my next outfit.
What do you think about that?
If nothing else it allows much more ballroom than my jeans.
Sweet sweet center of Graz:
Who wants an icecream? I do. Especially when I can have a view like this:
Walking East on Herengasse street I love observing these old buildings but...look at this:
Deserves some attention right?
Not that the rest ones are indifferent, quite the opposite:
That tall thing you see is Mariensäule, one of Graz's points of reference:
Flower power:
Lots of road works a couple of blocks away but still you can admire the grace of those buildings:
Even better without of course:
Time to meet again with my good old friend, Mur river, which is escorting me the last days all the way from Knittelfeld up to Graz:
It transfers massive quantities of water but it's not noisy at all. Unless a tree falls on its bed like this one:
Hence I now walk on this path parallel to the river:
And wave it goodbye from Tegetthoffbrücke bridge later:
Goodbye good old buildings - see you next time:
Nice graffiti by the way!
So this was my long walk around Graz, at least long enough to make me write those 4 parts. However, I still have more to see outside the city.
Stay tuned to see them too in the next episode!
