Sandra, Margit, Andi and myself are going to Tuscany the following week. And judging from the past years I’d say there aren’t any public access points or internet cafés. So no news until next Saturday. See ya

Croatia Trip (3)

Tuesday & Wednesday:

The weather lost its warmth. It’s actually not freezing but temperatures round 20°C and rain clouds don’t look like summer to me. Sandra snorted a small fly. And killed it instantly Was good for a laugh too There’s is a slight problem with insects in Croatia, especially when lying in the shade of a tree. I had to kill about 1000 ants, two or three spiders and other liveforms, which I wasn’t able to identify. Sandra shall forth be known as ‘The Snort Killer’

Monday:

A butterfly had the idea to land on my shoulder and to stay there for a while. Sandra took a photo of this obscure scene By the way, all photos will be published when we are home again. My sunburn has increased a little bit, I do now look like a lobster with a sunburn

Saturday & Sunday:

Sandra and I arrived on Saturday in the afternoon in Umag at Hotel Sol Garden Istra. The hotel is huge, no really it is HUGE. Food and beverages are excellent, the hotel bar serves excellent Cuba Libres On Saturday evening we decided to go to the center of Umag for some fruits, and to get there we used a tractor-pulled train.

The weather, food and beverages are excellent, the hotel bar serves excellent Cuba Libres. Croatian keyboards do suck, I have never seen that much special characters on a standard HP keyboard and I am still unable to find the apostrophe. Sandra already got tanned and I for myself look like a lobster. I would do good to stay in the shadow tomorrow, or the next few days

Hooray, Hooray, It’s A Holi-Holiday

Sandra and I will go to Croatia for a one week vacation tomorrow. I’ll try to blog once a day about weather, food and people. And other interesting things that’ll happen

Holiday Report

maze — Thu, 10 Aug 2006 06:30:02 +0000

We came home from Italy on Saturday, after a terrible twelve-hour-car-journey caused by a massive traffic jam between Venice end-of-highway-A13 and beginning-of-highway-A4. Those 10 km took us at least two hours. If Andi and I were able to hold the speed at all times we would have been at home by 1 p.m., but we weren’t so we got out of the car at 5:30 p.m.

The weather was (except for one day) beautiful, the water was warm, and totally algae and jellyfish free in contrary to what every newspaper reported: coasts infested with zillions of jellyfishs and tons of algae, making it impossible for you to swim.

The accomodation we did rent for that one week was huge, except for the bathrooms (yes we had two). Those zones of refreshment and easement where that small, we had to get in with the help of a shoehorn and out with a handgrenade.

We had plenty of food and wine – so all of us gained a little weight. Andi and I got tanned like gladiators, Margit a little bit less, and Sandra – well Sandra has her own kind of tanning (sorry for that – I love you).

The temperatures were mostly over 35°C, and the sand at the beach was at least as double as hot – we were well advised to wear sandals outside of the shade. Lucky us, the “Squishy-Tank” arrvied and provided us with ice cold drinks and ice-cream.

At the beach there was that one cop driving a quad and being an Chief-Wiggum-Look-A-Like

On one day we went to San Vincenzo, to dine, and what was more important for Sandra, to buy a new Murano glass ring. The last one she got from me in San Vincenzo was destroyed a few months ago at home, it just did break – glass is sharp and she did bleed a little. Sandra is smart and did let me buy her two rings this time – one in reserve so to say – she dropped one on Thursday, and the second one on Saturday. Lucky her, those rings can also be bought online.

After dinner in San Vincenzo we went for a walk, a gelati and for some shopping, when out of a sudden some loud heavy metal music filled the air. First we thought of a band, then we saw him: the Ghettoblasterguy. He looked like Ozzy Osbourne in earlier days, volume at 10, cigarette in his mouth, angry glance on his face, and walked straightway down the pedestrian area. Ten minutes later back again, and another ten minutes again the other direction. We just couldn’t figure out what the hell this guy was up to.

Then, in the window display of the ‘Gardenhouse’ shop (like Ikea, only more luxuriously), we saw it: The Grillum Romanum. George Foreman’s Grilling Machine for Gladiators, with the weight of a compact car and the price too.

Andi and I also constructed an impressive sandcastle, which stood against the floods for some time. Lucky us, Margit and Sandra took some pictures.

That one day the weather sucked we decided to take a trip to Livorno, via some coast road.

Then in Livorno we saw the Uber-Yacht, and some Pakistani warship. That yacht had second smaller yacht, as kind of a jollyboat. Compared to what you and me see when we hear warship that Pakistani one was more like a Greenpeace-is-trying-to-stop-a-whaling-ship-boat.

Finally I would like to thank my friens at the ‘La Ribotta’ in Castagneto Carducci for serving the best Italian food at all times, grazie mille.

On holiday

Back Home

maze — Sat, 20 Aug 2005 10:52:35 +0000

Sandra and I came home from Italy on Thursday, 2 days earlier as planned, because her Dad had to go to the hospital. He has a renali calculi which, it seems, won’t come out the natural way The one and a half week were very relaxative and the weather was unlike to Austria, very hot and sunny. We got tanned, Sandra a little bit less than me, and I gained 2 kilogrammes of weight, which I lost in 2 days now.
My Dad started to renew the cladding of our house, and lucky me ‘volunteered’ to help him. In return he fixes my car, which needs new rear brakes, muffler, horn and rear suspension dampers.
The lomographic cameras paid off very well, i made over 250 pictures, which I gave Margit to develop negatives. I also made over 200 pictures with my digital camera. As soon as I get the lomographic pictures on cd I’ll upload them to my LomoHome and announce it here.
I really need to take some time to play GTA San Andreas on my PS2, the last time I played was one month ago These were the news so far.

Off For Holiday

maze — Fri, 05 Aug 2005 15:16:06 +0000

Tomorrow Nadine, Diemtar, Sandra and I are going to Italy for our long planned and deserved holiday. You may ask yourself now ‘he has only worked one week and is already taking off time?’, then let me tell you that this holiday was booked in early January this year
A very special thank you goes out to the web department guys at lomography.com for equipping me with two LOMO cameras, a LOMO Kompakt Automat and a Frogeye Underwater, as well as 7 films. As soon as I am back from Italy I’ll upload some pics on maze.wogri.at and on my LomoHome.
