Austria Trend Hotel Carinthia Villach

Liebe Menschen,
es ist 5.45 in der Früh und ich bin bereits geduscht, angezogen und "auf dem Sprung". Das heißt... Es geht jetzt bald los...
Fahre jetzt nach Wien, am Abend nach München, und von da geht morgen früh unser Flieger. Erste Station in Südamerika ist dann San Jose, von wo ich mich hoffentlich übermorgen Abend wieder melde.
Bis dahin: Keep on rockin´

After a few days in Ljubljana, we took a bus to the beautiful, rustic town of Bled. Apart from being dropped off at the wrong bus station, walking for more than an hour with all of our gear in the pouring rain looking for our hostel, and not having anyone at the hostel for the first 6 hours we were there, Bled was incredible. Our second day in Bled, the sun appeared and ...

Es ist wieder mal soweit.
Das Fernweh hat Überhand genommen
und zieht uns in einer Woche für einen Kurztrip nach Vietnam.

Genauer gesagt nach Nord-Vietnam, um ein bisschen mehr über die asiatische Kultur zu lernen,
vor allem übers Essen.

... was better. After another little walk round I had to buy some shoes as mine keep falling apart on me in the stupid weather well you should see the trainers I now have they are more embarrasing than anything in the world might get Ian to take a pic but will see!!!

Went for a rest in the room and remembered that we had not booked anywhere to stay in Austria tomorrow so we had to go out and use the internet again it had started to rain again so we ...

... tea time and after a little walking around we got to the apartment. Ian was dead chuffed as its above a chinese restaurant and he has already decided that that is where we are going for tea tonight. Maria who owns the apartment upgraded us as we booked just a room with shared bathroom but she said that she had an apartment free as it was quiet and we could use that so we have a really cute apartment of our own with ...

... Day 4 – Sunday 5th October – We were up and ready for our taxi on time and actually had breakfast and found ourselves waiting for him before our pick up time! Very impressive!

Our driver was chatty and really nice and got us to the station with plenty of time. Lucky too! Once we got there we found that the ticket office didn’t open until 1pm seeing as it was Sunday! One of the locals told us we could get tickets on the train but I had no cash, only Visa and we ...

... spoke to two couples who were next to us in a New Zealand van…they had some interesting stories of their own and we enjoyed talking with other people :) They had flown to Turkey and said that it was so expensive and they felt that they got ripped off while they were there…we had decided the day before in Venice that we would leave Turkey off our list of countries to see due to the fact ...

... sizes. You take a little train 2 km into the cave and then you walk for about 1km before taking the train back via a different route. The highlight was the encounter with the Proteus anguinus, a kind of salamander that is totally blind and breathes through gills, very well adapted to a life underground in the water. They can live to about a hundred years and can survive without food for 12 years....Cold blooded living is cheap. We did not stay in Slovenia, but crossed the border into ...

... the air... The wind blew him and Primoz to the left behind the trees, so I lost sight of them for a few minutes, only to see them again way high in the sky... The thermals had taken them up, before they disappeared from sight again, so I settled in for a 40 minute wait until it was my turn.. During this time, I watched a few other paragliders set out on their trip across the sky.. Sure enough after almost an hour, Primoz was back and it was now my ...

... hiked up to the Bled Castle, the oldest castle in Slovenia, walked around, enjoyed some coffee at the top before hiking back down to walk around the lake. I'm so glad I didn't throw my hiking boots away after Peru, they have come in SO handy! Overall, very nice low key day before I start a long night of traveling. I grab a bus back to Ljubljana, where I am supposed to grab a train to Zagreb, and finally a 10 hour night bus to Dubrovnik, Croatia...if only it were this simple.
