My DH had to go to the dentist today. He needed a painful root canal therapy.

He was the first patient in a new doctor´s office and contented with the dentist. Hope, that his pain will be better soon.

Lunch at Trastevere

After the dentist visit, we made a trip to Villach where we had lunch at our favorite restaurant Trastevere. There we stop every time, when we are in Villach.

Crema d' aglio e erbe

We had a wonderful lazy afternoon in Villach and enjoyed the time there. The weather was changeable, windy, cloudy, rarely sunny and we had only 18°C degrees. But it was enough for a café latte in a sidewalk cafe named Espresso Rossiello

That´s all for today!! The weather forecast isn´t really good for the next days

Today in the morning the sky wasn´t so cloudy as yesterday and we had 9° C degrees.

After breakfast we started to a hike over the “Märchenwandermeile” On the way there are different stations telling different fairy tales. It´s a wonderful place for children with playgrounds, donkeys, ponys, witches and the option for gold digging.

My younger son loves the "Hexenritt" over a 175m pendant bridge - here you see him at his ride

One of the giant dragons there - can you see my son on his left feet?

A courtesy of the hotel for our wedding anniversary. I had ordered the yellow flowers, but the prosecco and the candle was the idea of the hotel. Isn´t that cute?

Because of my DH´s racking toothache we went home early – where he take a nap after some aspirin. I think he must go to the dentist, tomorrow. The barking cough of my younger son is a little bit better.

While my DH was sleeping, my son was playing in the hotel garden, and I was sitting there in the sun (21°C degrees) with a good crime book and a cup of café latte.... I think at the end there were three...LOL

Our second day in Austria. 5° C degrees in the morning and heavily cloudy

We made a hike above the Millstätter See. There is a circular route from cottage to cottage. On top the weather changed every few minutes from sunny to foggy and back. On top we had 11°C

View down to Lake Millstätt

After our hike we had a lazy afternoon, enjoyed a place in the sun with about 18 to 20°C degrees, sitting in the garden of the hotel with homemade cakes and café latte.

We set the alarm clock for 2.30 am - our vacation trip to Austria begans at 3.00 am and we had 5 °C degrees in this early morning.

Allianz Arena Munich I shot this picture out of the window of my car at 5.00 am on the freeway

Because of the traffic jam in front of the Tauern Road Tunnel we decided to drive over the country road through Obertauern

Obertauern... seems like winter vacations - but we forgot our skis LOL

A few kilometer later on the Katschberg Pass the snow has melted and the sun was shining with about 11° C degrees

We arrived at 8.30 am - and because of the early time - we drove on to Spittal an der Drau Where we enjoyed a yummy café latte and a fresh-squeezed carrot-orange-juice
Later on the playground of the hotel my younger son has baked me many Blackforest Cakes
And he has much fun on the swing, his father has pushed on

Thursday night a barking cough has begun by my younger son - so I went to the doctor on Friday for a recipe of saline solution for inhalation.

About his dispositon of Croup I had got precautionary also a recipe for Rectodelt

He is feeling well, but has still a barking cough.

So, this was the first day of our holidays in Austria. My DH and my son are sleeping now and I utilize this time for blogging.

Only a short post this evening!

Today was the last day of school for the children - and now we are having holidays for 2 weeks! We´ll spend the time in Austria

Ready to go

Our weather today

Last walk through our garden, where I found these wonderful roses....

.... and these two yummy strawberries .... they tasted delicious and I ate it all alone!!

So my friends - it´s time to say goodbye!! Wish you all two wonderful weeks - I´ll try to keep my project up to date - but I don´t know if I´ll be able to do this from Austria. So don´t forget me for the next two weeks. I´ll miss you just yet.

These flowers are growing in front of our housing area. They are not mine, but they are beautiful I think.

It was really cold today, only 12°C degrees and it was raining often. First in the late afternoon the sun came out, a little bit.

I cleaned up the apartment, did still more laundry and had a last appointment with my handsome physical therapist before our vacation begins!

The suitcases of the children are ready and already packed into the car. My suitcase is almost ready so the day tomorrow will not be so stressful, after working.

Now I´m tired and my back hurts a little, after I had carried the luggage 3 staircases down to our car.

CU tomorrow!

I feel a little bit uninspired, nothing special happened and the days are busy with working in the office, doing the laundry and packing the suitcases. So I forgot to take a picture yesterday.

A few minutes ago I shot this, as my picture for day 147 (Wednesday)

A handmade heart from my younger son

Isn´t it cute and beautiful?

It should be a Mother´s Day present made in the handicraft class at school. But the teacher was ill, so it didn´t managed in time.

The weather yesterday was quite fresh, grey, cloudy and sometimes with rain.

I´m now off for my next appointment with the physical therapist and an appointment with my sons´ motoric teacher.

CU later with my post for today - have a good day
