Lara and Steph's Great Big Fantastic Adventure!!!! A road trip aroud the UK and Busabout through Europe!

This is about a trip I took with my Dad and my brother. Then I was ditched my my dad and brother. Sorry if my tenses are all confused I wrote some of the blogs in the present then later, at home, updated them in past tense... sorry.

We headed next to Vienna.  Getting here involved driving straight from Poland, south through the Czech Republic and into Austria.  It’s strange that the change from one country to the next is more obvious here than almost any we’ve been to.  Almost as soon as you cross the border the roads, houses, shops and scenery change quite abruptly, going from the relatively stark Czech fields to the rolling hills of northern Austria.  We also noted more police than I’ve se...

I don't have much time for this entry as we're about to head off to Budapest (where it's supposed to be 35 degrees.. great... I already feel like an armpit...) and still need to grab a quick bite.  We have some fab pics from our tours around yesterday, but this cafe does not have uploading capabilities, unfortunately. Yesterday, Ev and I woke up bright and early at 8AM and took off for Hallstatt - a gorgeous little town of 900 people that is perched off this huge lake and crawling up th...

We got up this morning and had breakfast at the hotel before going down to the Spanish Riding School.  Lipizanner practice runs from 10 AM until 12 PM, so we were able to take our time and wandered the streets down to the school.  Watching the Lipizanners practice was interesting, particularly after seeing a performance at Schonbrunn Palace the last time I was in Vienna.  However, we only stayed for about half of the session which seemed to a pretty common idea as several other...

Goodbye Salzburg. Hello Hallstatt,We are off to Hallstatt this morning; sitting here at the train station writing this e-mail right now; listening to the recorded messages on the PA system in German. We have some time to kill so I thought I would get in an update on how things are going over here.Last night we went to see the Salzburg Red Bulls play, they won 3-0. The match was great; the fans are so into their football over here. The have a section for the visiting team’s fans and it is al...

After a trip of about 3 hours I got in Wien. Again it was a real pain to find a decent place to sleep. Either it was full, or way too expensive!After a few hours of searching I ended up in a 3* hotel, paying half the price it would normally cost ! :DAgain, Wien was just a place to stay for the night. School was beginning again the next week.

This was my frist overseas adventure. I met up with a good friend for my first two weeks, then I headed out to explore by myself. This was the most amazing experience EVER!! I met a bunch of amazing people, ate amazing food, and saw so many beautiful things!

My first time in Austria in the summer :D. I knew Austria was beautiful in winter-time, but I liked the green version too!

I spent a week in Vienna and fell in love with its charm. The city is blessed with some of the greatest art collections in the world, fabulous architecture, friendly people and great food. Truly one of my favorite cities on earth.

Nestled between some great mountains and placed by a delicious lake is one of my favourite spots in Austria. I've been to Zell several times and it never fails to please. In the winter - its a skiing haven with great snow, plenty of good nearby mountains, buzzing nightlife and some great affordable places to stay and eat. Come in the summer and you'll find plenty of sporting activities to keep you busy.

Spring practicum in Austria - Vienna (2007). Visited - very famous St. Stephen's Cathedral.The Hapsburg gardens. Austria is the largest city in Austria as well as its cultural, economic and political center, and you can feel that in the atmosphere.
