Holiday

If anybody wondered why the blogg was so empty the last days, there is a perfect reason for that! We are on a holiday in Austria!
Last Sunday we started to Southiceland and took a drive over Kjölur. The road was actually quite bumpy and so we had no chance to listen to all our favourite disks on the way.
Our friend Dagmar offered us a place to stay and so we put up our tent (she actually called it house...) in front of her house. We had a nice time and a lot of nice stuff to eat there ;-)
On Tuesday early in the morning we drove to Keflavik to pick up Hjördís, who was going to come with us. She already was looking forward to this trip for quite some time.
The flight went well, the food was good and so we landed relaxed on Tuesdayafternoon in Vienna. It was good to relax during the afternoon and plan the next days.

Wednesday afternoon we met Martin and Philip in the Museum of Natural History. It is a wonderful place to learn, try out and experience. Have you ever seen a pic of yourself taken with a heatcamera?
We started at the stones, went through the dinosaurs, meet the Flintstones and made our way upstairs from the cells to the insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds and finally mammals. Of course we had a look in the Vivarium, where they show alive fishes, frogs, snakes and birds.
In the evening we made a short visit at Martin´s and Kristina´s place and said "Hello" to their daughter. Philip and Hjördís were really busy with Philip´s cars.

We used the rainy Thursday to pay a visit to "Haus des Meeres", a kind of Indoorzoo. They mainly show reptiles, amphibians, birds and fishes. The main attraction are the 2 Rainforesthouses, where the animals are roaming free between the visitors. Some of the little fellows are already so much used to the visitors, that they come really close and have a good look at you.

Today we went to visit my granddad and had a good look around in his garden. We went for lunch with him and got so much to eat, that we were still not hungry in the evening. But who could say no to a delicious ice-cream???
