Austria in my heart

An unusual trip turned out, we have not had this before. The husband apparently picked up the virus back in Moscow. While we got to Sölden, my husband had a temperature of 39˚. I immediately started calling the insurance, we had a policy of "Yugoria". After 10 minutes they called back, gave the address of the doctor. We went to the clinic. This is a small institution, literally 4 rooms full of equipment to capacity, no shoe covers, trips to rooms. The husband was taken, laid down, immediately put a dropper to remove the fever, did a blood test on an automatic analyzer, instantly...

I have long been planning to go to Sölden, which is considered the Alpine Ibiza. Back in October, I booked 3 apartments for our entire large company, bought tickets and looked forward to the first week of March. When less than a week was left before the trip, it turned out that they didn’t want to let me go on vacation at work, but I managed to persuade the general with difficulty, promising a labor feat upon return. However, you won’t get away from fate; you still couldn’t rest. The husband fell ill with pneumonia on the first day of vacation in Sölden, the child had bronchitis on the second...

The downside of this place is that there is only one pond where you can swim. A small pond by our standards with a sandy beach on the campsite is all there is. In the fall, this is of course completely irrelevant, and yet. It is from this pond that the road starts up to the top of Vorberg Hill - perhaps the most idle peak here, which you can easily climb with small children and even with a stroller along a good sandy road along which characters from children's fairy tales stand. Dwarves are mostly snow white and elves hiding behind trees and stones...

Autumn is the most controversial season. And sadly romantic, and snotty painful, already cool, but there is no snow. It’s not cold yet, but sunbathing is somehow dumb. Rains, leaves, grayness of the sky, wind, trees of fiery colors. I’m used to such an autumn during the time I lived in St. Petersburg. I got used to the very autumn that Yuri Shevchuk sang. Not that I would not love this autumn, but by the will of fate, I spent most of the summer in Moscow, in which I would not have experienced the moral fall...

The military campaign in Italy was progressing successfully - by the end of August, the Russian-Austrian allied forces liberated almost all of Italy and stood on the border with France. And the squadrons of Ushakov and the British Admiral Nelson freed Naples, the possessions of the allies of Austria, from the French. But things were not going so well in northern Europe. The French captured the Netherlands, also owned by the Habsburgs. For their release, troops were urgently transferred from the south...

Everyone knows that in the past, marriages between members of reigning dynasties were conceived solely to strengthen political alliances. In the process of preparing for trips to Europe, I often delve into books, and while reading biographies of princes, princes and emperors, I am amazed at how bizarre zigzags of European politics are. More than once I had a question: did the Romanovs and the Austrian Habsburgs enter into dynastic marriages? The first answer to this question I received, getting acquainted with the history of the tiny North German principality of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel...

This article will not be full of reverence for the Vienna museums, but on the contrary, perhaps someone will save up to 30-40 euros on tickets to these so-called museums. I also want children, old people, nursing mothers and those who whole-heartedly support contemporary art to be dropped from the monitor screens. I won’t say that I’m a fan of contemporary art, I probably haven’t grown up yet, but I try to put up with it and somehow attach myself to it. Accordingly, I was mentally preparing before...

Each baby hotel has a baby club, where the baby can be left for a couple of hours under the supervision of experienced staff, and muzzled parents can relax a bit. And this is also included in the price. For children from 3 years a separate program of events for every day is provided! Such hotels offer an all-inclusive soft food system (i.e. all inclusive except alcoholic beverages). Which is also convenient and the head about food does not hurt ... hotels offer breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner...

she finally lost control of herself. She grabbed the phone, dialed the police phone, and began to explain to them in German that the Russians had illegally taken the number, refused to give a deposit, and now they even move out and refuse to pay. Well, you know what these Russians are. Please come and help us deal with them. These Russians scandalized us here at the hotel and spoil the image of our establishment. You must come and deal with them. Our son understands German. He naturally translated all this for us...

Policeman even got into a conversation and informed us that this hotel belongs to some Russian woman who is in a fictitious marriage with an Austrian. And the hotel is positioning itself as "the family business of the count's titled family is already a god knows what generation!" The policeman also made it clear that the law is primarily on the side of the tourist, since Trism is one of the main income items of the economy in Alpine Autrian towns. In general, leaving the police station, we felt relieved...

I don’t know what exactly created such a combination of factors, features and characteristics of the “resort” of Zell-Am-See - maybe, in comparison with Italy, this was such a terrible contrast for us, maybe not. But be that as it may. We could close our eyes to anything, if there were good and clean roads, if we could ride and enjoy the mountains, the sun and the Alpine air. But apparently ..... we were not lucky then thoroughly. Descending from the mountain, at one single glance with my husband...

Every new year, we .... with friends .... we don’t go to the bathhouse, but calmly with our family (whatever the incident would happen) we leave for ourselves in the mountains. Skiing, breathing fresh air, New Year's decor to meet beautifully, “walking” children, looking at people, and, as they say, showing yourself! In that year, it was decided to go to Italy, to the Dolomites - beautiful, snowy and alluring. We have never been to a ski resort in Italy before, and this trip promised us a new direction:...
