I was especially going to miss all the lovely road signs of the area. However I was blessed with one last look at 'Pfaffing' as we drove to the train station. Jessie was a sweetheart and drove me to the train station in Salzburg where I caught the 1212 train to Villach where I had decided to spend t http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Austria/Carinthia/Villach/blog-419770.html 4th of July dearies And I'm in beautiful Austria. Happy Independence day to all of the Americans. Today other than eating breakfast and watching a movie I'm taking the bus to go the lake. Ironman Austria is tomorrow and everyone around here is doing it. I'm going to watch it to support my family. They swim through a lake and canal bike through steep hills and finish it up with a run. I couldn http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Austria/Carinthia/Klagenfurt/blog-415065.html Day 19 Tuesday September 23rdToday was our last day in Slovenia. After eating breakfast and checking out of the hotel we began the drive north towards Austria. As was the case with all of our prior entrances into new countries no passport check was completed at the border. Sometimes it seems as though there is a similar mentality between countries in Europe as there is in the States they ju http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Austria/Carinthia/Klagenfurt/blog-342174.html Drove back to St Poltein to find our friendly hardware store to buy an adaptor for our power cord and by the time we found our way out again we had decided to only drive to the outskirts of Vienna today as we would not have enough time to see anything. So we hunted around for a camping ground or info centre without any success until about 7pm when we came across a bit of a forest which we could d http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Austria/Carinthia/Klagenfurt/blog-317934.html After a little more than one week at home doing some work and seeing my family and friends I drove to Greifenburg on Tuesday to participate in the DHV Junior and Ladies Challenge.

This is a very nice drive through some beautiful country side and across some passes in the Slovenian Austrian Alps into Austria. Lots of skiing here. The freeways are great Tolls and it is a very easy drive. The drive into Austria reminded us of travelling into the mountains from Calgary and http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Austria/Carinthia/Villach/blog-282633.html Hello everyoneHere is an update on my activities since I last wrote We have now been in Austria for 2 weeks. Since I last wrote we began our semester at school and now we are already on Easter Break This is a break down of my weekLast saturday we went skiing in the alps Axamer Litzum for the first time.

No big deal I've started couch surfing in Klagenfurt because things with my 'friend' here didn't work out so well.

The hostel as expected was devoid of travellers and i was informed by the receptionist that this town had the highest suicide rate in autria. I can kind of believe it after walking around the town to discover its excpetional blandness. Not http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Austria/Carinthia/blog-225399.html For starters I still wasn't sure we were supposed to get off the train for the layover. It fel weird for some reason. It was freezing again but whatelse is new Pulling into the station the town looked absolutely adorable. It's what I pictured a little Austrian town to look like.The station was completely dead except for a few weary stralers like ourselves. We headed outside and all I wante http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Austria/Carinthia/Villach/blog-223018.html P vr rundreise gjennom spennende steuropeiske byer er vi n i vakre Villach i Krnten sr i sterrike. Dette er en liten by med rundt 60.000 innbyggere og minst like mange ulike typer lbrikker for det lokale brygget Villacher Bier. Men vent tenker du n hvorfor Villach Jo hr her. Etter noen timer en lunsj og et deilig parkbesk i Wien satte vi oss p toget og rettet snuten mot Krnten. http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Austria/Carinthia/blog-190059.html March 1618 2007 My buddy assigned to me by the school here in Wiener Neustadt Matthias is the best buddy that anyone could possibly ask for. This weekend he invited a few of us the other Adam from Drake and two canadian girls Monica and Jacqueline to go to his father's cabin in Corinthia in the Austrian Alps. After a 3 12 hour drive from Wiener Neustadt we arrived at the cabin and qui http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Austria/Carinthia/Villach/blog-139677.html I got up at 7. After breakfast we went to Joyces Supermarket and from there we went by coach to the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren Nationalpark. Before we arrived at the Cliffs we visited the Dunguaire Castle which was built in the 16th Century. Then we visited the Cliffs of Moher. When we got out of the bus a stormy wind blew. But it was very interesting to see the Cliffs. Later we went home w http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Austria/Carinthia/Spittal-an-der-Drau/blog-134946.html Today I got up at 8 o'clock.
