Am Domplatz Linz

hey guys, I actually don't have that much time to write for you today, because we went to Neuschwanstein castle (the disneyland castle) and it was absolutely AMAZING!!! Words cannot describe how good it was and if I start writing about it I may end up going on for pages and pages. I brought A LOT (and I mean a lot) of souviners because I'm only going to be there once and had so much fun (especially on the 4 hour bus ride ...

... more difficult to get the full impact of the presentation.

An estimated 100,000 people were killed here. Auschwitz and Birkenau, near Krakov, were massively larger than this. The presentations of personal effects had also been exceptionally poignant. Never the less, the experience here is very powerful.

As we leave the camp, we walk around an exceptional sculpture presentation. The powerful material is contrasted ...

... few hours with Ryan who was staying at Krumlov House too and on the same shuttle bus.
Main square was nice. A few more old buildings and churches.
Saw a weird green floating disc shaped pontoon that was apparentlya gift from somewhere...

Ate Linzer torte in Linz which was probably the highlight of my 3 hours in Linz :)

... 8230;ooops! Oh well, when in Austria, do as the Austrians do, right?

The final day…we went out to get brunch, but the restaurant didn’t have eggs, so, in my infinite wisdom, instead of just getting some toast, I decided to get a linzertorte (knowing that we were also in search of apfelstrudel before Mary Katherine had to be at work at 2). Again, not one of my smarter decisions – I think all the food was starting to get ...

... At 1130, we decided to make the hike up to the Schloss Museum (castle museum) to see a new exhibit showing the flora and fauna of the area around Linz. Unfortunately (although not too unfortunate, because I was pretty tired), we got kicked out for having drinks with us (the person at the entrance let us in, then a lady inside the museum said "normally, people do not have drinks in the museum" – not you cannot have drinks or you need to pour your drink out – ...

Figurative sculpture installations take on
new meaning within the context of location. Art of the highest
human form. Manfred Kielnhofer’s sculptures accomplish this task.
The transitory nature of the work remind me of Antony Gormley’s
public sculptures, especially his “Another Place” series ...

... with some cool computer effects mostly. Again, some were not working, what a surprise. On the next floor was the space room, which is a very large space with a projector showing a high-res movie onto the floor and wall. At scheduled times, a 3D movie (requiring glasses) was shown and the kids even got to play a bit, drawing images which became part of the movie. Moving on from this, there were displays about art and science coming together in interesting ways, and an incredibly ...

... hours of blonde jokes, few are too ready to hear another. By no means am I saying that already by my third day away from home I am bored of this trip (gosh I have like seventy five more days to go). I am a rare person who could hear blonde jokes for three hours at a time. It's just that Linz doesn't have a lot of variety that I could see, between Late 19th c. style and a fairly unexciting bauhaus around the older centre. This ...

... Váòa pointed,"that is not absolutely true, look inside your backpack." Confused Vorel immediately opened the pack and shout into Hohe Tauern wind:"You bloody *******s, whole way up here I was still thinking why is my backpack so fukin heavy!I kill You all!!" The rest of the day wasn´t so funny. I just remember that Váòa and Vorel did something to me which made me so angry, that I didn´t speak to them for about two months, hehe what a funny trip it was again :-)
