Ferienhotel Schonruh 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.

... over to this union bar that had the internet and this nerd was hogging the internet I tried to have a beer but felt really sick so we had to go trecking around the bars in the ghost town to see if we could find anywhere that had the internet luckily we found somewhere and we are now going to Austria tomorrow to stay in Salzburg. Nothing open around the town its so dead when you go somewhere out of season that we went for a chinese again ha ha ah.

... and bathroom and cooking stuff so we popped out to get some food for breakfast and stuff and then went for a chinese. I must admit after weeks and weeks of eating med food it was nice to have something a little different chicken fried rice has never tasted so good lol. After the meal we popped for a walk to the lake but it was really dark and we couldnt see much so we are waiting till tomorrow to have a good look around.

... The bus either left at 7am or 11am because it was a Sunday, neither were an ideal option! Since it was so late neither of the travel agents we approached could organise taxis (a lot of travel agents are also taxi companies in Bled). We decided to go back to our hotel and see if our mate could organise a taxi for us instead.

Turned out to be no problem at all! Within 5 minutes of being in reception we had a taxi booked and our bill settled. Relief!

We went back to our ...

... it would be too expensive to drive there and we were not sure about the safety driving through some of the countries. We were a bit disappointed as it was somewhere that we really wanted to go, but after talking with the couples we were pretty happy with our decision. Turkey is somewhere that we can go another time and spend a bit more time there-it would have cost us a lot in petrol and time.

... where we are. WE'RE IN FELDKIRCH! That's where I had originally planned to get off to go visit Lichtenstein until I found out that the train goes right through Lichtenstein already. Sounds good to me. But that means that I've slept the whole way through Austria! Sure enough there's a little glow on the horizon, meaning the sun's starting to rise. It all starts to make sense. The train lurches to a start and I get my last ...

... and I guess we weren't really in the mood for an action packed day that these other activities required - we needed a break after our bike ride yesterday! So after breakfast we headed out to the Life Trek office and booked ourselves into the 3pm paragliding session off Mt. Krvavec. Like usual, Brian was scared out of his mind and kept telling everyone we'd talk to that we had only so many hours to live... great.. Of course he still wanted to do it ...

... euros in tolls. When going into Slovenia, one of the immigration officers let us know that he was not Pro-United States and tried to scare us a bit. It had Laura concerned, and we're hoping that his opinion (or at least his method of expression) proves to be an isolated event. Bled is a wonderful resort town, surrounded by ski resorts and a booming tourism industry. They also are doing alot of logging, and the ...
