Austria, Europe Trip: Day 4, end with a hike and a cake!

It had been an activity-packed day! But since it's my last day in Austria, I can't just sit around when there is still daylight to enjoy! Especially when the view outside is...
...breathtaking.

So this guy volunteered to walk me around:


But first he wanted a drink so we had to stop when he went up on this:
which I have a strong feeling is not meant for dogs to take a dip in...
Is that Holy Water??

It was an hour long hike. I called it a mountain hike but my buddy said it wasn't even a hill based on their standards. When we came back, I noticed curious markings on their door:

They said those were written on Christmas when their homes are blessed. For someone who has been a Catholic all my life, I had no idea there was such a tradition. I better ask our parish priest if we can have our home blessed yearly as well.

Finally, a farewell cake!
