A Styrian weekend in November

Oh dear, one more week to go until my final exam. So many long days ahead, but still so little time! To soothe one´s nerves of course nothing is better than to think back of good days, so I guess it is okay to spend a little time and blog about our last weekend in our home away from home.

We had a few errands to run so this is why we came - but also because Thursday was a bank holiday and it gave us a four day break. So off we went to relax and to live in this special holiday limbo for a while where you have nothing to do but think of the next meal, the next nap and the next walk with the kiddos. (I did some reading for my exam of course, but otherwise it was just heavenly holiday-limbo.)


The weather was quite okay, it was not too cold and not too wet, but with a little bit more sun the leaves would have shone even more brilliant. But still the colors were beautiful.

We did our favorite things, went to the Ödensee....


.... and played the "snack-game". (Sometimes I wonder if Dessa ever considers "walking" or if it is just "snacking" for her.) Go on, mom, gimme some! Now!


With the boy it is simple to detect. For him the great outdoors are superfun! And it is always too early to go back to the car.


What else did we do. Of course we ate well. On holiday we like a late breakfast/early brunch, a sample of which you can see here. And this time - on the side - you also find our "drugs bar" which we needed because Stefan had the grandfather of all colds, which he passed kindly on to me later.


And we slept well. Long in the morning, a nap after our little trips. And after serious reading. It´s amazing how sleepy you get right after you have opened your papers.


Alt Aussee in later Fall is especially nice, there are not so many people there and you can enjoy the lovely lake, the crisp air and the beautiful nature around much better. (Especially if you are a hermit like me.)




Fall can be so beautiful! And long weekends can be so cosy, fun-filled, entertaining and relaxing. Definately one of the things we should do more often.


And now back to my books. Have a good day, everyone!

Wie faszinierend schön die bunten Herbstfarben sind. Ihr hattet sicher viel Spaß bei den Spaziergängen:-) Das Panorama des Altausseer Sees ist fantastisch! Ich glaube, da werden wir auch einmal hinfahren ...
Mein Stefan war auch total verkühlt Anfang November - sowas ist echt mühsam! LG Tamara

Wir haben uns eine Weile hin und her angesteckt, aber jetzt geht es halbwegs wieder. Ich empfehle Alt Aussee und Umgebung besonders in den Randzeiten, wie z.B. im November: Es sind wenige Leute dort, und wenn man Glück hat, erwischt man gutes Wetter, und dann erspart man sich die Kanada-Reise, weil das Laub phantastisch bunt ist und die Seen wie Quecksilber. Ach, ich komme gleich ins Schwärmen. LG, Silvia
