We defeated the Grimming - Yeah!

Last Sunday I reached my hiking goal for this summer - I stood on top of the very mountain you can see in the picture below.
It was more a climbing than a hiking tour - very very nice!!

Tino and me on top.

Unfortunatly the weather was not very nice, we couldn´t see anything and it was freezing cold. Some of the plants were covered with ice. You can also see a bit of the ice on the cross. Tino had to lend me his raintrousers thanks for that again.

Climbing up and down again.











Can you find the people on these pictures?


Very nice landscape!


All in all it was a great but exhausting day! Austria is a beautiful country!!

That was it from me again!
Bye bye and bisou

Back from Canada

What an excessive trip :-) !!!

Hello my dear flatmates and friends! At least 3 people from our great Flat 28 made it to Canada.
Aida, Maria and Emilie couldn´t manage to come :-( we missed them like hell!

I arrived in Montreal on Monday. The next day we went to the airport to get the boys!
They had a real jet lag the other day when we went to visit the city :-).









One of the best things in Montreal was the visit of Judith´s former working place and colleagues. We had three bottles of wine, a lot of corn and beer.
Thank´s again to Isabelle for letting us sleep at her place!

After two days in Montreal we made our way to Judith´s farm! It´s a huge farm with plenty of land around. Her family is very nice!!!! It was a pleasure to meet them all. We had some very wild parties around the campfire. I would give the toilet paper roll for the "beerest family" without a doubt to them :-)

Let´s visit Quebec city and party again!!!
It´s been ages that i´ve been to a student party. Thank you Ben for bringing us there and letting us sleep at your place!!










dinner with Ben and Nicolas in Quebec city / watching the history of Quebec on the dock






















Many tourists and us!

We started our canoe tour right after our visit of Quebec city.










cool Judith / Dani and me fighting with the river and the boat










We spent the night in a shelter in the middle of the wood where Judith first poisoned us with spray (I couldn´t feel my lips anymore), then she nearly boiled us and to top that all the mosquitos came and got drunk by sucking our blood. It was a very funny evening :-)


Our next station was Toronto. It´s a 6 hours drive from Montreal. Thanks to Julien´s cousins there we didn´t have to sleep at a hostel. Their parents weren´t there and it was weekend, so when we didn´t go sightseeing we partied - again.










their living room and dog / the POOL in the garden :-)






















The only attraction we visited in Toronto was the CN-tower...

A one and a half hour car ride led us to the Niagara Falls. It was very impressive getting close to the falls with the "Maid of the Mist".










Judith´s boyfriend invited us to his place, so we went to a part of the country where the mobile phones don´t work and the beaver and bear wish each other a good night.









relaxing at the lake!

Time was running on this trip and we had to go back home to Judith´s place where we had a baseball game (what a funny sport :-) ) and a final party with her family and friends.

Thanks to all the people who made this trip unforgettable for me. Especially to Judith´s family and friends and the cousins of Julien!

By the way - HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me! What an experience to end a decade!
I love u my flatmates!!!!
