Hi mum,
Finally, I've arrived in Austria. Just in time for Christmas :-) Dragonfly had given me some sweets for my new hosts and they really liked them! I've already met TV Travel, who has stayed here since November. We ate some more sweets. I think I'll have an early night after my journey. Take care!

Hi mum,

Merry Christmas! In Austria, Christmas is celebrated on December 24. I had a wonderful day. In the morning, we decorated my hosts' Christmas tree. They have a cute nativity set and I also liked the small angel.

We had lunch with my host dad's family. After lunch I ate some biscuits. They also had a beautiful tree, and we sang a Christmas song.

And then we had dinner with my host mum's family. We had soup with Fritatten, which are more or less sliced pancakes. Afterwards, we could choose between fish and Schnitzel. Of course I wanted to eat a Schnitzel, the famous Austrian dish! I'm tired now but I'll upload some more photos soon (I also received a nice little Christmas present....) Lots of love and happy holidays, mum!

Hi mum!
As promised, some more pictures of Christmas evening. I got a nice little present: chocolate with marzipan, yum yum! I should go for a little walk after eating so much  hope Christmas at home was lovely, too!

Hi mum,
Yesterday afternoon we went to the town centre of Klosterneuburg, which is a beautiful town near Vienna. From a parking lot, we got a quite nice view of the monastery church. The concrete construction spoiling the view is a by-pass (which naturally gave rise to disputes when it was built). We walked some older roads and discovered a so-called spy (now closed) which people used to observe the street without being seen (we read that on a nearby board). On the town square we walked past a bakery and it already sold pig-shaped sweets as New Year's presents.

Hi mum,
Welcome to 2012!! Our New Year's Eve was very nice. First we ate some fish-shaped biscuits (they taste like ladyfingers). If you want to have a lot of luck in the new year, you must eat them without using your hands...paws....whatever  The fireworks were really beautiful. And we also poured lead. I'm not sure whether I've heard about that tradition before....?! We poured the molten lead into cold water and then tried to find out what the new shapes tell us about our 2012. But they just looked funny  Happy new year, mum!

Hi mum,
This afternoon we had some time to visit some nice places in the city centre of Vienna. We went to the city hall. Unfortunately, we couldn't walk across the square because they were removing some stuff from the New Year's celebrations. But we still had a nice view of this marvellous building. We also went to the main building of the University of Vienna and walked through the entrance hall and the courtyard.

...we also saw a theatre, and Café Landtmann - a very famous coffee house - as well as a beautiful church, Votivkirche. A bit later, we stopped at an incineration plant - a strange building to take a photo of? That's what I thought. But in this case, it isn't! It was designed by the famous artist Friedrich Hundertwasser. I'm not in the last picture because I wanted to show you a close-up. You can find more information about Hundertwasser here:

Even though the weather wasn't really nice, I enjoyed the afternoon!

Hi mum,
We had so much fun this afternoon! We played some games! We played the Simpsons edition of Cluedo. We had to find the murderer of Mr Burns. In the beginning it was not easy to draw conclusions but in the end I won, I found out that Smithers had killed Mr Burns at the house of the Simpsons.
