... I had enchiladas that were very spicy and a margarita that was more tequila than margarita mix and which I was feeling on the metro ride back to my apartment and again while walking the 3 flights up the spiral staircase, not good.<br><br>Also this week Kerry came to visit us from the Geneva campus. He&#8217;s the guy whose house in Burgundy we get to visit for a weekend when we are in Geneva. He came just to make sure ...

... the Danube and enjoyed some of the Domane Wachua wine, with freshly cracked walnuts. It was total bliss!<br><br>The next day we headed to Salomon Winery for some wine tasting and were lucky enough to get a tour of their winery. We'd also drank their Gruner back in Australia so it was interesting to see their winery. These guys make some Aussie wines too.<br><br>Definately a huge highlight of our travels!

Continuing our tour of the Wachau valley, we visited a castle on the very edge of the Danube (Schloss Schönbühel) but it appeared to be closed to the public. We walked around the exterior a bit and stood on the riverbank, admiring the river and surrounding valley. The sun had disappeared and it started to rain so we got back in the car and headed to Burgruine Aggstein.<br><br>This is a great castle ruin. It is very high above the ...

Last night we drove from Salzburg to Melk. When we got there, we couldn't find any available hotels in Melk but one very nice hotel we tried called a few nearby hotels and found us rooms. It is located out of Melk but only a short distance along the river. We arrived and were greeted by one of the very friendly owners who had no problem with Lincoln staying in our rooms and dining with us at ...

... on a small memory card. Although the shop didn't have wifi they did have a usb card reader. So at e3.50 per hour I spent the next couple of hours uploading pics etc spending £8.50 in the process. Then bought lunch, came back to the hostel for another snooze, tried to go swimming but got completely confused by the sessions business and came back to the hostel to blog. And found free wifi in the room. Vienna is looking complicated; no hostel beds on Sat night and no ...

Then we went to Die Spar and i got peanut butter! yummmy : ) its the ...

... Liebe, die uns täglich entgegengebracht wird, das Glück, das wir haben, weil wir gesund sind hier leben dürfen, Kinder haben, jemanden an der Seite haben, den wir lieben dürfen,.... "Schad drum", denk ich mir, "das Leid so groß werden zu lassen und damit unser Glück so klein zu halten". Otto und Michael hätten alle Gründe zum Jammern, und wenn sie damit anfangen würden, hätten sie bald keine Kraft mehr ihre km zu laufen. Sie ...

... I'm okay with that. My hands were on fire after the last call back and I was ready for the concert to be over. But, you can never accuse a European of not showering their performers with praise. The concert ended at 7:30pm, but the night was hardly over. David asked if Miriam, Niva, and I would mind joining the quartet and their families for dinner before we headed back to Vienna. We clearly had no other option but to ...

... 15 minutes out of town but it was worth it, back into town and we just had a look around Bratislava. We had a look at the other castle but the first one was way better by far! Bratislava is nice with lots of cute squares, and places to eat and drink. But no overly impressive buildings. Heaps of stag dos and lots of gorgeous girls with fat old guys! We had a nice big meal as it was fairly cheap and we normally don't eat out in restaurants when we ...

... gold on their buildings...that seems to be the secret to being a great tourist town.....gilding all over!!gold on statues...on railings...on walls.....seriously, the calgary tower could use a little shine....then we would have so many tourist spending lots of cash! i came back to hostel and got to COOK!!! so exciting i miss the realxing time i usually spend cooking and crating things....not that sausage (some sort of _____wurst) and tomatoes and pasta is really creative ...
