Seehotel Hafnersee Keutschach Klagenfurt

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

Well woke up to torrential rain and it looked just like the lake district cold and damp we did try and manage to go out for a little while as we needed to get some laundry sorted and stuff but it was just to wet. We managed to get to use the internet and have a drink of really fit hot chocolate it was just chocolate melted down with lots and lots of whipped cream on the top we did not do much this day really as the weather was a wash out I managed to get ...

I was sorry to leave Opatija because the hotel was so lush but move on we had to I was also excited that we where going to another country as we had spent so much time in Croatia. Felt bad that we had not even tried the food or gone out properly but I am still recovering from my fall and needed to rest as much as possible. So we got the bus to Rijeka and by some stroke of luck I asked a woman on the bus where the train ...

... we only had about 15 minutes left before our train came. At the station I said to Witek to drop his bag and follow the other guy to the ATM while I watched the bags. I figured that he was quicker with more endurance than me so it would work better that way.

I stood at the edge of the station on the road and alternately watched my watch and the road for signs of Witek. The time ticked over and we were down to ten minutes, seven, five, three, then with one minute to go and as the ...

... the farm! One, two, no, 3-4-5! puppies! all jumping and saying hello, two months old, and pulling down the pants of the about 8-yr-old son of the family, so much laughter all at once. This is very much a working farm, with plenty of cows and horses and apple trees and truck noise and you name it. This was the best meal so far, it was a type of meat loaf, with mounds of good lumpy mashed potatoes with what we thought was brown gravy but what turned out to be hot ...

The last few days have gone by so quickly! Lake Bled in Slovenia was spectacular and definitely lived up to all that we had heard. There was a church called the Church of the Assumption on a little island right in the middle of the lake, and a castle perched high up in the hills. A lot of people had taken gondola rides or were rowing boats themselves across the lake when we arrived right at sunset ...

The Slovenian countryside was fantastic - we took the old girl (the van) through some unreal hairpin bends up to the snowline of the Julian Alps, and onto Bled, this lovely town with a castle perched on a sheer rock face and a church on an island in the middle of a lake. And ...

Ok, short entry here. I left Ljubljana a few days ago and am now in Bled for three nights just relaxing and enjoying the views. Got here yesterday and found out that my hostel troubles were totally fine and worked out better than I would have hoped for so I am in town rather than out of it for the time I am here. Bled is a cute little place but very small. Perfect after being occupied almost all the time at the hostel in Ljubljana which was great. I had a whole 7 person ...
