Woo hoo! Gabriel rides again!❤
WOW WHERE IS THIS IT IS BEAUTIFUL
👍
Shoot i thought i was first but noway. Lol
Jay, my comment two videos prior got deleted but you were in the lichtensteinklamm. 🤙🏻
EDIT: So i call it a win. 😅 Have a great time!
I have been subscribed for a while and never commented. You are an interesting man with interesting stories!
In Athens?
Yeah, the stories, which are now becoming more rambling and seeming more anxious, with unrelated personal stories from some other times that go down rabbit holes, instead of concentrating on your trip and surroundings are contributing to my anxiety and I can’t keep listening to your travelogues as I used to. I don’t have the emotional capacity, brain space, or the dedicated time to absorb stories about your friends and their names from when you were 15 and what they watched on daytime TV. I thought I’d mostly hear about Austria and your experiences in the now of those lovely mountains and singing birds and everything around there. Sorry. I don’t mean to sound critical. You’re doing a great thing by taking us with you to so many places, most of which I’ve never had the chance to visit in person. I’m thankful for that part of your presentations. I just have to scroll through and find interesting coverage and not watch your whole videos anymore .
I like Gabriel's shaggy dog stories 🙂
This is actually a juicy shaggy dog story
🇨🇦❤👍
Ok you didn’t grow up with. Television I bet, living in forest with an outhouse..
Bye bye rain.
Great hike !!!!
Taj stay Kauai,aloha G.✌️🌈
Gabes should rename his channel Gabriel Traveler and Storytelling 😂 or open a separate channel Gabe's Storytelling strictly for storytelling
Shaggy Dogs unite 👍😁
Cool story…. love Waters…most don't but always felt I understood/resonated with where he was coming from as far as being a significant contributor … strong argument made for contributing more than the 3 others combined.
Anyway… recall those yrs & thought it was most appropriate for Waters to the Concert in Berlin as opposed to Floyd sans Waters being The Wall, as with The Final Cut was primarily a Waters album.
Funny to think the younger demos now a days need an explanation as to what a Walkman was > makes me think in a handful of Decades they'll need to explain what cell phones were 😜
Absolutely digging the scenery as of late…& even the shaggy dog stories 😉
To much about you. Not enough about the beautiful landscape and country. Since I am a photographer one picture is worth more than a thousand words. Followed you for 6 years and think I have heard most stories a number of times. So no more ATM stories or Shaggy Dog tales. My family complains about the wild movement of the camera, they say it makes them noxious. But I wish you would do a little research about the places you visit beforehand. Not marching through half deserted streets so often, concentrate on the main sights, even when there are other people present. Also please don't play the same musik each and every time you enter a church. All this advice is only given to get your channel advanced. Also when you point at small island or so in the distance I cannot see them even so I am watching you on a large TV.
The first 9 minutes of this video are hilarious
Love the stories.
Travel safe Gabe!!!
Beautiful place
I am a Big Pink Floyd fan as well, i really enjoy your stories of the good old days. 😊

I was working in Munich in 1990 for a year with mostly Americans and Canadians and two guys from Karl Arts in L.A. On a animated film.

Hi Gabriel, what a hike through a walkway path with a stairwell around the mountainside, interesting area. Guinness World Records was first published in 1955 as a way to settle pub arguments, inspired by Sir Hugh Beaver's experience during a hunting trip. It has since become a globally recognized reference book, listing a wide range of human achievements and natural extremes. A Pink Floyd song I heard a lot growing up was Comfortably Numb. Many of these songs seem to have a double meaning.
Man I had to go back a couple times to keep that story straight 😂
My entire home waits everyday to watch your videos. Do not listen to comments of negative people. You are living a dream life always remember they are just angry because they want to be like u!!
The Alps apparently have a nostalgic effect which reminds me of the atmosphere of The Sound of Music and Heidi. Anyways, enjoyed your sweet bedtime story just as I was going to sleep.
I can see why the Von Trapp family moved to Vermont. Vermont and Austria look so much alike nature-wise. Have you ever been to Vermont, Gabe?

This gorge is amazing
Sherwood road and Arnold on the 101 sounds like Nottingham. I must have been through willits when I went to Eureka 😮
Berlin wall fell in 89, German reunification 1990
Loved hearing your long, convoluted shaggy dog story! I don’t remember hearing the story of Michael before. So good you got to meet up in Germany. Its amazing how music shapes memories and Pink Floyd is unforgettable! Thanks for the story telling and beautiful gorge hike. ❤
These vews look like the hikes I used to go on in the Galilee ,mt. Carmel and
the Golan heights EEEn I was younger
I remember in the youth movement
I was in a hike cost to cost from
Achziv on the Mediterranean see to
Chookook on the shore of the see of Galilee 70 km it took 5 days.
May 04 1990 my daughter was born, I had to fly back to the US from Stuttgart to be there.
The sounds of the waterfall's are so relaxing to me.
