St Wolfgang, Austria








 While I was staying with Julia and her family in Vienna, they took me a little road trip to a cute little village called St Wolfgang. We stayed here for 2 nights, over the weekend, in the cutest little (well i say little but it had more floors than you'd first think) hotel which you can see in the fifth picture (with the red car in front). Julia and I got a to share our own room on the 4th floor and it was alot fancier than I'd have imagined, it even included a huge flatscreen TV, (not that I'd be able to understand anything on TV as it was all in german). 

We only spent one full day in St Wolfgang and for most of that day we went hiking.. I dont hike and I also am not used to living out in the mountains so I wasnt exactly prepared for this little trip. I had no raincoat (which was well needed) just a warm trench coat from H&M, i had a scarf (thank god!) and a beanie, but I didnt have any form of footware suitable for hiking.. I ended up wearing canvas shoes, luckily Julia only had canvas shoes. Obviously neither of us are very bright. Despite the fact that I wasnt really prepared or like hiking that much, it was an enjoyable walk which wasnt that long and did end with an amazing view of the village and huge lake. After our hike we settled down in the mountains restaurant where I ordered soup because I wasnt at all that hungry. Once we got back to our hotel, we all thought it was a good idea to just relax until dinner.

Dinner was YUMMY! Julia and I ordered the exact same thing, which ended up being the hugest plate of food I've ever seen but somehow I managed to eat, not only all of my food, but half of Julias food as well. At one point, while stuffing my mouth with forkfuls of her potatos, I even said to her 'please stop me' which cause Julia to laugh so hard she choked on her drink and ended up having a laughing/choking/coughing fit in the restaurant and everyone was staring at our table. good times. After dinner, Julia, Julias Dad and myself headed to another, more expensive, hotel's bar where Julias Dad bought us 'End of the day Drinks' and for 2 and a half hours we ate pretzels, salted peanuts, had a couple drinks each and played P&As (if you dont know what that is, its a card game). It was a great day/night all in all. 

On our final morning we roamed around the little village taking a few pictures of the adorable buildings and I did a bit of souvenir/gift shopping for back home. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in St Wolfgang, even though Im not much of one for cold, it was great to visit somewhere new and different.
