City 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´

... took an 8-mile hike around Lake Bled and up to the Vintgar Gorge. Imagine if you will (or just look at our pictures) a clear emerald lake with a small island housing an old church/monastery with bells ringing throughout the day; on one shore a castle sits on a cliff overlooking the lake; and the Julian Alps, draped in early winter snow, sit majestically behind the hamlet ...

... werden sicher schon von der Ha Long Bucht gehört haben, das Kletterparadies schlecht hin, das ich mir sicher nicht entgehen lassen werde.

Also der Flug und drei Tage Hotel sind gebucht, einen Reisebericht und Fotos gibt`s dann in drei Wochen

Liebe Grüße Anja und Christian

... 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 ...

... to relax for a little bit again after this. We had decided to eat next door again seeing as we were on to such a good thing, so we weren’t in too much of a rush.

We wandered over there at about 8pm and again the tables were full. We were practically regulars by now so we were treated to a glass of some type of blueberry liqueur while we waited for a table this time. Both waiters chatted to us as they buzzed passed and promised us that we wouldn’t have to wait long ...

... 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 ...

I've woken up partially several times throughout the night, starting as we entered Austria and the ticket checker wanted to see tickets. That must have been Villach. That's when the bozos got on and started reading something in German that must have been hilarious, since everybody was laughing so ***********'t know why getting on a train means it's party time. I just wanted to sleep. That's not easy when the seats don't lean ...

... to.. hahaha... Anyway, we headed back on the pletna when our time was up and decided to hike it up to the castle after. A few of the other people on the pletna said that it was only a 15 minute walk uphill, so off we went to see if this was the case or not - it certainly looked a lot more than 15 minutes walk! Well, it took us roughly 10 minutes, so yeah, not too bad.. We were definitely feeling tired and somewhat breathless though.. We actually ...

... scenically set in the Julian Alps. So obviously the castle and the little island had to be checked out! We climbed up to the castle in the morning and of course by the time we got there I was hungry so it was straight to snack. I ordered something or other that had the word surprise in it and this plate of cakes and cream and cookies and ice cream cane out. Happy Emma. The only way to get to the little island (aside from swim which although you ...
