Remnants of Austria...

I thought I was a bit loose on material so thought back to the long rant I wrote when in Austria.

I happened across the list I wrote in my mobile phone drafts folder and forgot how eventful it was!

One of the gorgeous pictures I took in Austria!

Ah Austria - The beautiful scenery, the fresh air and the wonderful hotels. What could go wrong? Ha well the journey to bus stop 24, to change over to the coach that takes us onto the ferry, we were delayed by like an hour meaning that the poor people who got there on time were slightly pissed off that we were late, which made them like us a lot...NOT! The bus driver that took over the coach on the way to the Ferry seemed nice at first, a bit quiet and full of useless information but I assume that was a perk of the job. Once into France the bus driver said that we would have a couple of stops before we get to the hotel in Liege, Belgium. But it was like an eight hour drive to get there....BASICALLY, if you were female you had to cross your legs until the bus driver needed to pee, how crappy!

The first hotel was lovely, when we got there we had to go and find somewhere to eat as the meal was not included in this hotel. Me and my boyfriend went to find an Austrian McDonalds, because we knew where it was. There it was lovely. I had a nice nights sleep and woke to an amazing breakfast where I stuffed myself with bread rolls, eggs and toast. It was a thirteen hour drive to Austria, and you guessed it, no toilet breaks!

When we got there we had to get our keys, I was sharing a room with the boyfriend obviously. We got to our room and were baffled to see we had twin beds. We went downstairs to ask if there was a double room to discover they had made a slight mistake. They assumed we were brother and sister...when we said we wanted to sleep together they were like...but you're brother and sister and we're like...NO!

We got a better room, on the top floor with a breath-taking view. The Austrian's really know how to do it, you have a double bed base, two single mattresses, AND two single duvets. It was lovely :)

The trip was good, the breakfasts was nice, we got a packed lunch which was okay...the dinners were eventful. I am always scared of meat and how it's cooked abroad, so I never ate it which normally meant that I was stuck with a tiny portion of vegetables and a couple of potatoes. The starters always had mushrooms or garlic in it so I couldn't eat those, and the one day of the week I asked for just vegetables and potatoes, they sent me a plate of breaded mushrooms!

A new breed of vegetables...ARE YOU MAD?

THAT IS NOT VEGETABLES, ITS FUNGI! bah mushrooms! The desserts were always beautiful though! The final day was amazing when it came to the food, the starter was creamed cauliflower soup, I had two bowls of this! The main was lovely chips and vegetables, and the pudding was an odd mousse thing lol!

I got to do great things like visit Saltzburg, go to Rattenburg and see the glass blowers - I bought so much glass and the boyfriend got me a gorgeous glass rose! I went 5000 feet above sea level to see a glacier and climbed up to the base of a waterfall.

It was an exquisite holiday, I had lots of fun, just wish I could have cooked for myself and/or had more toilet stops!

Thus ends another rambling...
