Austria

Innsbruck is a lovely city located in Tyrol with wonderful surroundings. I would love to go back sometime and stay with Ingo, my new friend from Austria. Great guy, you just gotta love him! Pia and I went to this Irish Pub (No, it does never get boring!) and met 3 crazy Londoners.. Will hook up with them in London on sunday I suppose :) Innsbruck is probably the most beautiful city
I´ve ever been to. The altstadt was simply beautiful. Yup, will def go back!!

Met up with Daniel in Bischofshofen, and we spent 5 days in a cabin which is run by mother and son Hannelore and Thomas. The cabin is located in Mühlbach am Hochkönig. Great people, and great fun, although I think I´ve had enough SCHNAPS for the next decade. Those austrians know how to drink.. And they know how to get others drunk as well... tihi...
We went skiing for 3 days in FANTASTIC weather, and I think that if I had stayed just a couple of days more they would have sernt me straight to Aare and the World Championship. It´s too close to home, so I got out of there, before they got that far... Thomas was also a ski instructor, and hopefully next time I can give him lessons.. After all, as a true norwegian I am born with skis on! We are told that every easter, so they better not come tell me differently!

The journey continued to Salzburg and the city of the Sound of Music!! I finally realized I´m not alone having seen the great musical with Julie Andrews and the Family Von Trapp. You would think so though. I asked all people I met in Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Austria, and none of them had ever heard of this great musical! Untill Salzburg, which even organize SOUND OF MUSIC TOURS!! AND at the hostel, they showed the movie every night at 20. Gotta love Salzburg. Not only because it´s the city of Sound of Music, but also because of the people, the marvellous altstadt and Mozart of course...

Liechtenstein

I have been in Liechtenstein!! It´s probably not the most interesting place on earth, being less inhabited than the city of Aalesund (for those of you who know that..), but it is a beautiful country and I´ve been so lucky to get to know a great family there (and I´m pretty sure I saw the prince as well...) Really..
