Danielle & Roger go Bad Gastein

welcome to Austria Danielle and Rog in August 2007!!!! since those 2 had some difficulties in going on their planned trip to South Africa (long story) they decided to come and visit me in the beautiful Austrian Alps... and I think they enjoyed themselves a fair bit... walking every day with great view and soaking in the thermal bath just next door..

on the weekend we went hiking together and enjoyed "Poserhöhe" ...




















soooo cute... like real Austr-i-span-i-aliens .. ;)


















and of course we had to have a real Austri-a-lien BBQ in my garden...

















yummy.. Austrian sausages are the best.. I knew it!!


















and on our last day together we took a fabulous trip upt to 2.600 meters of altitude to "Hagener Hütte" and enjoyed the view of Sportgastein on 1 side of the mountain..










then "Hagener Hütte" ...













... with its delicious "Kaiserschmarrn"...













... and the views of the lakes in "Kärnten" on the other side of the mountain...













.. Sportgastein really is a fairy-tale-land.. the mountain that you see here is what we conquered that day... soooo proud!!
