By the way...

It's mtb-time again... I've had two VeloChicks-courses on the weekend, one about bike maintenance and repair on Friday evening; the other Saturday morning (!!!) - mtb skill training. Lots of fun with the girls and this time no major skratches :)

The repairChicks: Margareth, Marie, me and Theresia :)
Saturday morning - training time
Preparing for the trails
By the way... 2 of the colourful IKEA cups didn't survive the training session, as we were practicing slaloms and tight curves quite desperately. Sorry Theresia! ;)

I'm quite itchy for biking at the moment and therefore leaving the office early today... riding out with the chicks again!

Boot des Versprechens

Sonntagabend war ich mit Swenja und meiner Lieblingshundedame Stikada noch auf einen gemütlichen Spaziergang am Thaler See (bei Graz) und was entdecken wir da?! Das "Boot des Versprechens"... *schmacht*

Anm. d. Red.: Gute Schwarzenegger-Fans wissen natürlich, dass Arnie in Thal bei Graz geboren wurde. Für alle anderen sei es hier nochmal erwähnt ;)

Katrin isst...

nun schon jeden Tag ganz brav auf und trotzdem ist das Wetter "mistig"!!! Wo ist der Sommer? :-(

Kassette Schädel

Exotische Schriftzeichen sind cool... das weiß ja jeder! Wäre mal interessant, was Japaner und Chinesen sich so denken, wenn wir Europäer mit unseren Tattoos u.ä. unterwegs sind.
Ich schätze mal, sie haben auch soviel Spaß, wie ich auf der Website vom Label Graniph:

Corsica, Day 6/7

Finally... up to the mountains!


Troute de la bombe - der Bombentrichter. Awesome rock formations catching our eyes behind every corner.
Quite foggy...




Notre dame des neiges - our holy lady of the snow.

Still foggy...

Hardly did not find our car on the way back ;)

Graz impressions

Graz is currently hosting the "5th World Choir Games" and the atmosphere is unbelievable...

Island on river Mur - blue mood.

Corsica, Day 1-5

It took us about 7 hours to drive down from Graz to Livorno (at the Italian coast, closest ferry connection to Corsica) - and besides passing the Polish national soccer team on their way to Klagenfurt for the first European championship game against Germany; besides all the crazy Italian drivers on the "autostrada" and besides a last-minute turn off the "autostrada" giving chri an "almost-heart-attack" ... it was quite a boring ride.
Just what you need to come down and get ready for vacation... ;)

We stayed overnight in Livorno and took a VERY (!!!) EARLY ferry over to Bastia, Corsica - another 4-hour-ride and here we come!

2-day chill-out stop at Aleria marina with a sweet campsite just behind the beach :)
Beach bums *szzzz*
Loosing big time... as always in mini golf ;)

Coming up soon: rocks, mountains, fog, more beaches, more rocks, ... and lots of wind!
