Vacation;-)

Some holiday- impressions










Sea with the little island, castle and the famous and yummy cream cake of Bled, a city in Slovenia.


Creamcake: filo pastry, whipped cream, vanilla-cream-what a low calorie diet;-) Again too much good food... but I love food!



And we had smoked trout, too. So delicious! We ate it in Carinthia- Austria... sooooo tasty,-)



One picture is from the balkony of our pension, so quiet there, the lake is Faaker See, surrounded by mountains and trees...









The other pictures were taken in Burgenland, where we stayed 3 days, too.






Old little wine cellar with reed roof and on the other one you see an old grape press, my parents have a smaller one at home.





Well, one part of my holidays is over but the next will follow in some days, after the next course. Just booked a flight to Hamburg. Anyone been there and has some insider tips?


Oops, just found out I didn´t post pictures from Hungary, have to find one...but Szombathely(a city there) isn´t as interesting as Budapest.

Where have I been?

China?

Italy?

Greece? Dont´look at the flag! No cheating;-)

OK, you´re right- it´s Vienna!!(2.picture-an ice rink in winter ;-) Summer in the city, not that hot as supposed. A lovely season to visit Austria! Roses blooming everywhere, many outdoor attractions- e.g. an open air film festival at the townhall -watched a part of Don Giovanni there in one week there will be the Life Ball... enough to do in Austria´s capital. Enough to eat, too ...(Kaiserschmarren, Sachertorte,...) too many great things....

Great time in Styria!

How relaxing short holidays can be:) Spent the last days in Styria-Austria on a little fruit farm.

View from my room- vineyard and apple trees opposite.

One day I visited a thermal bath- built by Hundertwasser, an Austrian Artist. It ´s an interesting style- comparable to Gaudi´s work in Spain, influenced by the Viennese Jugenstil, too. I really love his work.

After this relaxing day where I had time to read as well, I visited a "Buschenschank"- in Vienna the little bistro would be called "Heurigen". If you think, you know the German language, visit Styria. I had great difficulties in understanding this dialect. It´s a different culture as well sometimes;-)

In a Buschenschank you can eat cold meals there and drink excellent wines, fruit juices (apricot!!), too. I think I gained weight there:) It´s all sooooooo delicious!!!! You really have to try it one time!

To get a taste- here a 2 person meal- not just mine! Yummy!!!

I took so many pictures during these nearly 3 days- here are just some impressions from Styria. I´ll post many of them on my photo-corner.

Found the labyrinth today and walked it:)- in the SUN!!!! First sunny day since weeks!!!!!!

Short holidays

View from the balcony in Semmering, Austria.

Spent the last days in Vienna and Styria. It was great, I finally saw sun between some showers

;-) Will post some pictures in my photo-corner the following days. Have fun and enjoy the trip there as much as I did. Hope you all are fine - with or without holidays!
