Euro-Trash: Come join us to Gnome Land...Austria!

Ralphy, our dying tour guide., likes to pretend that bus rides from country to country arent long. We were gonna kill him. There were like 5 freakin love affairs going on all around us with all these little teenagers. Gross.

+ it was raining like a mother.

Oh wait...what is that I see in the mountains? Falling down? ...SNOW!

GRRR.....

They feed me chocolate when I start to complain:)

When you are desperately bored., this is what happens,

You start making beaks out of pringles,

and feeding each other chocolate through them.

Alas, we finally reached Austria.

And the gigantuousantic fort!!!

It was spectacular.

Just so you know,

Mozart was born and raised here in Austria.

The Sound of Music is all from here.

So was Hitler.

Heil Hitler

As we arrive to our hotel, I stand up, and oohh? what is so funny?

Look at my butt.......!

Here's a better view.

Seriously?

We finally master how to ask where a bathroom is to go pee in Italy,

now we can't figure out how to ask where a bathroom is in German?

some things are just better left unsaid.
ha ha

hallelujah! After some trashy hotel beds, we finally were staying in a freaking 1000 year old hotel in the middle of the forests of Austria. The room was sooooo warm, and the beds and pillows and comforters were all down feathers.

ahhh...heaven.

Especially when you go from 90 degree weather, to 40 and 50 degree weather.
They have only seen sun 2 days out of 6 months.

depressing

So old fashioned.

Everything.

So we started off with a quick little tour of the important stuff you know?

So we went to the Arch Bishop of Austrias palace.

Actually, it was built for his mistress secretly because he had 17 children with her and so he built her this huge mansion!!

Along with this huge mansion were many many beautiful gardens, an amazing view of the fort, and a gnome garden.

Trying to act sooo happy in the cold:)

look at those roses!!! They were like the size of my head.

This bishop had to have been O.C.D

See what I mean?

:) cutie pies

ha ha

Unicorns....;)

We ride em

This was a statue of a ballerina!

But don't you hate when you want to take a goofy picture but EVERYONE is just staring at you?

That was the problem with this picture.

Lunatics

And so it begins...the gnome garden..

How my eye did this?

We need know not.

Father was not happy,

said it was dangerous or something

yes carlottta

"my" gnome.

We like grabbing boobs.

Our own of course!?

sick-o's

Public potty

.....

Went number 2

can't forget to go number 1

duh??

This dog was bigger then her.

Just thought i'd point that out.

An entrance to a garden!

Ima happy camper

This is where Mozart grew up!:)

Carly and "Him"s baby.

He grows quickly.

Its because it rains so much.

Everthing springs up so much faster

ha ha

Yep,

just walked past a bearded lady.

Its like why would you want to look like you had va-j-j hair on your chin?

Gross?

To get up to the fort you have to take a Funicular. Its like a gondola some what but connected to the ground. Pretty cool?

So people back in the day decided it was cool to build their houses inside rocks. I feel like that would take way too much time. Why not just build a house?

:D ha ha

First of all, doesn't this plate look beautiful? I've decided I love love love Austrian food. This was the first time on this vacation that I have been able to thouroghly enjoy my food:)

mmm...

Thank you Austria

After dinner we took a walk through this little forest, Ah, its so charming here (despite the cold, wet weather). Buried in the thick of these woods was this small church! It is the church where Mozarts parents were married, and also where some of "The Sound of Music," was filmed:)
