Countdown II

... 11 more days until Portugal *yeaH*

Actually we first decided on Corsica for two weeks of hiking and climbing with the occasional beach day - "Corsica is soooo beautiful!!!" a lot of people told us. Luckily we didn't book anything too early as I was lucky to win A WEEK OF SURFCAMP IN PORTUGAL :) Have a look under www.chillandsurf.com! People tell us now that "Portugal is soooo beautiful too!"

Christian never surfed before and I'm wondering how much feeling for the sport is left with me after almost 3 years "ashore"... I guess, I can tell you by end of September!!!

By the way... last weekend I was visiting my parents in the "picturesque" Holzdorf (=wood village... that also says a lot about the flair of Holzdorf ;) as my Dad celebrated his 50th b'day. "Welcome to the oldster club" was the motto of the party. Very fun! A lot to eat! A good time with the family! :) Look for yourself...


Welcome to "The oldster club"...


Did you have some alcohol?


It's a men's party.


*Uuuuuh*


After the party...

Countdown

... only 15 more days until surfcamp in Portugal :)))

Encountering the extraterrestrial

As some stores in Graz have a very special offer*** at the moment, Tanja and I got to visit a new fitness club beginning of this week - a usually quite unlikely event ;)

***(The very special offer is a "Wellness Card" for 69.00 EUR including massages, sauna, a hair cut, a dinner and a brunch, a weekend at a vineyard near the Slovenian border, ... and 2 months of free training at a fitness club.)

Well, our fitness experience ended up as a social study since people in a fitness club seem to be of a very special species, but nevertheless we decided to check out the club as there were rumors about a sauna being included in the offer ;)
*Umm* 1st contact with the extraterrestrial: we entered the locker room chatting and the first person we saw was that stereotype girlie with dark brown, carrot-reddish tanning booth skin color and a pair of hotpants that hardly made it for a belt. We cracked down laughing.
2nd contact with the extraterrestrial: we walked upstairs to the exercising room in our obviously-not-trendy-enough-rookie sports outfits and AT LEAST 25 pairs of eyes stare at us from the weirdest looking instruments - some looked like giant grashoppers walking upright, some like aliens from a trashy movie. --- "Didn't they have to exercise??? And why the heck do you have to come up right in the middle of the exercise room?" We didn't dare to look even more unexperienced and decided for the spinning bikes (Also because you need an instructor to explain to you all the aliens - What did we expect???).
After 10 min of spinning, we looked at each other wondering what exactly we were doing here?! Didn't we just got here on a REAL BIKE and didn't even find a kickstand in front of the fitness club?
3rd contact with the extraterrestrial: on our way out we had another quick look into the aerobic room. "Aerobic marathon with TINA" is on (Oooh yesss!). The big glass front to the room made it look like an aquarium and we saw - surprise! - a whole bunch of girlies and guys from "1st contact with the extraterrestrial" wiggling and waggling. We left the door shut, didn't even have another look in the sauna and decided to go out for dinner to a great chinese restaurant nearby. The best choice of the evening!!! :)

BUT of course, we couldn't leave unsuccessfully, so we let us talk into a personal trainer session next week... report coming up soon!
