Thanks for sharing. My dad did the same, and asked me to wear his dog tags for the rest of my life so I’ll always remember.
Danube Bike Journey – Day 3
Linz to Ardagger (~60km)
Total: ~145km

🌫️ Windy morning ride forest + river
🐗 Wild boar signs, but just hares in waving wheat
🏛️ Explored Enns (Austria’s oldest town!)
⛈️ Then came the rain.
🧺 Found shelter at a roadside farm stand
Rolled into Ardagger tired, hearts full.
Danube Bike Journey – Day 2
Schlögen → Linz | +55km (Total: 85km)
Forests, river bends & a wildflower explosion 🌿⛰️
Lunch in Aschach: sausages + bold horseradish hit the spot! 🌭⚡
Ferry surprise in Ottensheim ⛴️ + church views 🏰
Saw pheasants & swans 🐦🦢
Linz, we’ve arrived! Old soul, fresh spirit.
The Schlögener Schlinge is a rare river loop formed as the Danube cuts through ancient granite! 🌀⛰️ One of Austria’s natural wonders, it shows just how patient water can be over millions of years. #DanubeFacts #SchlögenerSchlinge
Day 1 of our Danube ride is done! 🚴‍♂️ From Passau to Haibach (46km), with stops at Engelszell Abbey ⛪️, Café Sisi ☕️, and fabled signs with ghostly Donau legends 👻🏰. The wildflower fields were glowing, and the journey ends in Vienna! #DanubeBikeTour #CyclingEurope #DonauSteig
The Family That Glides Together
We spotted an orca family slicing through the Arctic waters—flashes of black and white against the deep blue. Graceful, eerie, unforgettable. A perfect moment of wild harmony.

Distant Encounter
Our first polar bear sighting on the ice floes—distant, majestic, surreal. The ship fell silent as we watched it pace the edge of the world.

The Walrus Club
Spotted a whole squad of walruses sunbathing on ice. Loud, lazy, magnificent. Peak Arctic vibes.

Snow in Motion
Caught reindeer running through a fjord in Svalbard. Snow drifting low to the ground—magical doesn’t cover it.

They run as one force,
Silent ghosts upon the plains,
Death comes without roar.

Inishmore, 🇮🇪

Stone walls guard the past,
Echoes dance by Poll na bPéist,
Atlantic’s embrace.

Wisdom bound in faded script,
Where healers once learned.

📍🇨🇳 The trek begins, haunting clouds surround us, an unspoken invitation to explore the sacred heights of Mt. Emei. As we ascend, mist weaves through ancient temples, whispers of history. Something ancient calls, a presence felt. At the summit, the soul listens. #Travel #GlobalNomads #travellovers

📍🇬🇹 Lake Atitlán’s deep blue waters mirror the towering volcanoes, while vibrant villages pulse with tradition. In Antigua, time stands still amid colonial facades, cobbled streets, and pastel hues. A world where history and life blur into beauty. #Guatemala #Travel #GlobalNomads
