The Trip in Austria

Austria, a place that sounds so high classed and it seems far far away in a dreamland. I finally went there. The place do look very nice and give different feeling from Italy. On the way to Austria, it's all mountains and mountains with some little houses that are in the middle of no where. Really makes me wanna sing 'Climb every mountain.........'.

After lunch we started our car again and find the lake that Marco wanna show me. But it ended up we were cheated by a person in Villach and lead us to a smaller lake which called 'Faaker See'. And it pronouces like 'F**ker see'. Basically the lake has a suitable name,, nothing interesting there and it also cost us nearly an hour to find the way out to our destination.

After finding our way to Velden, we finally found the dream lake. It is very nice looking and we had a coffee next to the lake. Meanwhile I wrote a postcard to my parents, too. After we did a visit there, we then head to Salzburg.

Our estimated time was 1 1/2 - 2 hours to arrive. But we didn't know what was 'Faaker' wrong that we met a terrible traffic jam. We cannot see the end of the queue and there is no exit for a looooooooooooong way on the highway. We spent an hour moving so slow. So dark around as there are only moutains. Marco wanna to leave the highway and tried small roads but it looked so scary. I refused to let him try as we didn't know the way at all!!! I suggest to stick to the long queue because it is safer.

Then after a while, we finally got through the traffic jam,, it was caused by a traffic light on the highway as there was construction on the road. Just a traffic light made us wait for 1 hour!! It was one unbelivable thing. Then the next unbelivable thing was there was a tunnel that costs € 9.5. Sigh.... someone said it was better to go to those small and dark road. But I think it would cost the same because it takes up more gasoline and time....


At first we expected to arrive some places near Salzburg to stay a night. But it would be too late so we decided to stop in some farer place. Well,, from the map, we can't tell which is the best place. Now I learnt that the bigger the font size, the bigger the town! Anyway, I read the map and suggested to say in 'Flachau' (again, it sounds like F**k cow.. all names in German sounds bad...). So left the highway and lucky us found a bed and breakfast in 10 mins. The price of it is low €50 for a double room include breakfast. And the room is very very nice!!

After we put our things in the room we then look for restaurants to have dinner. The lady in the B&B told us a way to a restaurant but we ended up lost in the dark. And some Austrian were misunderstood us and told us a way to some other B&B. But I wanna say that street looked so weird. The B&B there looked like Disneyland castles with weird lighting...... It looked so scary at night because no people around with the blue and pink lights....

We then head back to our B&B and asked the way again and ending up we had something to eat. The friend next to me were not happy with the food but for me, having something to eat is already good....
