Summer in Linz






Just before the summer tour I worked during this summer had started, I made a quick visit to our lovely friend Andreea, who not only shared her nice flat with us, she also took us around 2 nearby lakes where we enjoyed the first day of sun and a good swim and a very talented wake boarder. The hammocks (seen above) were part of an installation at OK, Linz. It was a great way of spending a night out, enjoying a cold beer in a chilly atmosphere. After a fast and hesitating car ride we arrived all wet at the airport wearing the bathing suits underneath the clothes and smiling while we were entering London.
Because I loved it that much there, I revisited my friend, after the tour had finished with lots of new stories to tell her and just as many to listen to. Realized at the moment that Austria is more beautiful than I had imagined it and that I would love to come back and live here...not only for the landscape but for my dear friends around.

Destination: Vienna - London via north centre Austria

Back on the wire






After quite a long break in the virtual world I come back. I will gradually take all my journeys and post them. In the meanwhile I have traveled Europe with charming American students, my sister got married and I spent some valuable time back home, but also moved to Vienna in search for a decent and relaxed life.
Pictures above were taken while on the spring holiday home during May. A good friend showed us a very interesting place, very close to Timisoara, and very unusual for our region. It is a million years old volcano (Şanoviţa and a local article relating the subject) called by the locals the Red Rock and forgotten there both by time and the local authorities. It is said to have erupted 3 times leaving a mark on the flat terrain in the western part of Romania. You should check it out if nearby although probably nobody except our friend will be able to tell you where it is.

Destination: almost unknown
