Styrian Spring @ Rathausplatz

In spring the Styrians hold kind of a Kermesse in front of the town hall. This year I managed to go there for the first time. It was really impressive to taste the gastronomic specialities of this part of Austria especially the wines ('Schilcher' and 'Uhudler') and the foods made with pumpkin seeds. We also bought some delicacies for home.

ski Zell summer term 2010

Yippee! Time for skiing! This time for five days – yeah! We drove to Zell am See on a sunny thursday by leaving Vienna around midday. Early enough we arrived for the après ski bar. :-)

On friday we had sunny weather as well as excellent skiing conditions at Kitzsteinhorn. Skiing at its best. The following days were characterized by sunny hours, foggy hours and snowy hours. I managed to eat every day a different soup. :-)


On Saturday we celebrated Sabine's birthday. It was a great fun – she got a lot of presents. We made it dependent on the weather conditions whether or not we ski on Tuesday. But when looking out the window in the morning it seemed to be the best day of the trip. And it was. We had a great skiing season closing day. A wistfull vista back on the mountains we returned to Vienna on Wednesday.
