vienna museums night- and we on tour

Sunday, October 7th, 2007

Last night my friends and I decided to take part in one of the most interesting culture offer in Austria. It sounds very spectaculary and yeah it was. First so funny with friends company and second we saw a lot of good exhibitions. Kathi had planed everything and Markus and I had just to follow her… She is planing genius…. So the after picking up Markus we went to the “Stadthalle” were we lined up (not the last one) in the croud. Oh I forgot to explain. The night of the museums is an event , which is just one time in the year. All the museums are longer open until 12 or 1 o’clock. You need just one ticket for all the museums. There organized shuttle buses,which drive you around to the places. Of course no wonder that many people are around but it’s just great. Okay now I can go on. In the Stadthalle we just got the last 3 tickets for the exhibition, which called “Dialog im Dunkeln” (dialog in darkness). You will tell you later one…

After getting time tickets we went to the chocolate museum…Of course the main reason was to taste and test the different choco…We were a littel bit in hurry so we tried as much we could. We enjoyed it how you can see. Running schocki, choco fontaine, chocolate with chilli…running-schoki.jpg

The next stop was in the “naturhistorisches Museum” “natural history museum”. We wanted to take part in an guidance. But at the end it wasn’t that we were expected so we walked around and saw massive insects…..Amazing I tell you.

After the this museum we thought that we can’t miss the Albertina, where we could see Monet, Renoir, Cézanne, Chagall, Picasso, Modigliani, Matisse, Kandinsky, Sam Francis, Mark Rothko, Roy Lichtenstein,Francis Bacon.

We also were in gaudinnes rooms… so pretty…I was so fastinated by the lusters. miss downhill “magbie”, I love bling bling things… img_5999.JPG

After that we were pretty tired but we wanted to make it to the dialog im Dunklen thing…We are the ones who stay on the course! YES- And we made okay not all because we didn’t have enough tickets. So Kathi and I could make it. It was a great experience. You walked around in 100% darkness area with a blindman’s stick. It was a realistic walk with forest, trees, zebra crossing, a bus drive, … I have very bad eyes (12diopter) and sometimes I thought about getting blind. Of course it scares me, who wouldn’t it. But after this night I’m really happy about my eyes and that I have my friends Kathi and Markus.

Semmering last Austrian cup race

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

yeah :-( :-) the season is over. On the one side I am happy and on the other side sad. Always the same, in autum you know that you won’t see most of your friends for a long time. But then you realize “hey at home are waiting some very special persons for you”. Yesterday I met Miriam we were boomerang throwning… So much fun…

Okay back to the Semmering race. I was so stocked to be there. The last week I wasn’t sure if I wanna compete because I felt so tired and empty. But I didn’t want to miss the last season party so I raced. I stayed there for one night. I think it was the most expensive room I have slept in for the whole season 37Euro!! okay with breakfast but too much. Anyway it was a good desicion. The party was so good fun. Lots of dancing, smiling faces, drinking, joking around…. Some riders wanted to persuade me to drink alcohol. I was happy that I didn’t….So I could race well the next day. I won yeahhhhhhhhh that’s a good season ending. But I also have to say that Petra B. didn’t compete. She would propably won cause she had a better time in the seeding run the day before.
