Today I (I also met nomenestomen) visited the Alpenhighlandgames 2008 in Schloß Hallegg in Wölfnitz.

The funny games (in German):

- Bama schmeißn (Weitwerfen von Bäumen, Tageshöchstweite etwa 12,5 m)

- Bierle zupfn (0,5 l-Krug möglichst schnell austrinken, Bestzeit etwa 3,2 s)

- Eia wixn (ein rohes Ei unbeschadet möglichst weit werfen, bester Wurf etwa 46 m)

- Heihigl lafn (Hürdenlauf)

- Strick ziagn (Tauziehen)

Some impressions:

Today we (all together 10 people) cleared the garret of the former house of my grandparents. There we have unasked animals (always the same species) for years (these animals are able to struggle through bricks).

Here you can see one of this shy animals (a younger one) in our house:

They are looking really sweet, but they are annoying and dangerous (once, my uncle had to go to hospital because of this animals).

But we caught this one and let it free on another place.

–> it’s a edible dormouse (=Siebenschläfer)

On 6th of August I returned from my trip to Iceland.

I will write some more about this and some other trips in a few weeks in an own page.

Tonight my Iceland-journey is starting. From the airport in Klagenfurt we (with my parents) are going to fly to the airport in Keflavík via the airport in Vienna.

I’ll be back on 6th of August.

Here’s the route:

I saw this great berries in the garden and because it’s healthy I wanted to eat some of them.

Ok… and the true story is: I was a bore, had a look in our fridge, but I couldn’t find anything I wanted to drink (ice tea)… :’( … So I saw this boxed berries and in my boredom I took this four shots:
