Holiday Inn 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

... 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.

... that they probably wouldn’t have Visa on the train.

We had half hour until our train arrived and so we set off up the street in search of an ATM. At the end of the street we found a couple of locals so I asked them for directions to a ‘Bankomat’ seeing as ‘ATM’ draws blank or confused stares in most of Europe.

They directed us to the nearest bank which was fortunately only a few minutes away. I threw my card in and tried to take out ...

... 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.

... without any problems. The Karawanken tunnel is an 8 km long shortcut through the mountains, making the Loibl pass avoidable. A little bit less than forty years ago this mountain pass was etched into Robert's memory. On a holiday with his parents, sister and brother they met some Dutch with an enormous American gas guzzling semi winged car. That car suffered from a malfunctioning fuel pump. So, the car, being very long, developed problems as the fuel no longer reached the engine ...

... to be strapped in and run for my life.. Well actually, I had to wait a few more minutes for the wind to change to the right direction before I could start running.. And run I did.. or at least tried to.. Very soon I was in the air and sitting down on my make-shift backpack seat, the wind in my face and Primoz asking if everything was ok.. It sure was! I was flying in the air!! The experience was so cool and amazing. Primoz directed the glider to a ...

It is not very often that I wake up in a room, the only woman, with 17 men - half of which half pasted out in their kilts! There are 12 beds in my room. I have one. The 11 others are occupied by Scotts of all sizes, shapes and ages, and 5 more on the floor. Yes, quite unbelievable really. I think I'm coming to this tiny quiet historical city, and instead, I was up all night trying to get ...
