Top



Sunday, the day after our arrival, we went on a guided tour of Badgastein. This is the second higest (longest?) waterfall in Austria, running right through the three plateaus of the village (it's built on very steep ground, so most of the time you're either going uphill or downhill). This is the view from the top level at 1,240 metres above sea level.

Mittelstation


Middle



And this is the view from the middle level, or Mittelstation as the locals call it. Almost everything here is closed on Sundays, except for the gas station, which is why they carry a small assortment of foods and drinks.

Bottom


And this is the view from the bottom level of the village at 840 metres - told you the whole village tilts! The waterfall itself continues below this point.


Villa Orania


Badgastein, Austria

Tired of roughing it in youth hostels and cheap hotels, this year I decided to go for luxury - after all, these days I can afford it but mostly I find that I still live as if I'm on a tight budget like when I first started off my career in the hotel business.

A piece of industrial history: Viking Termometerfabrik


In the early 60ies, the industries in Sweden were thriving and in dire need of workers. Recruiters were sent out to those of the European countries where unemployment was high due to losses, both material, financial and in lives, because of World War II. That's why my parents moved from Finland to Sweden, being promised work and help with finding somewhere to live. Both promises were fulfilled.

Rainbow


I visited my mother this past weekend, and the weather kept varying between sunshine and rain, resulting in a splendid double rainbow (if you look closely, you can see a very vague rainbow surrounding the more colourful one).

Finally spring!



This winter, we had a proper winter, with lots and lots of snow, the last of which melted away just a few days ago. It's been quite cold, so the spring flowers have been hesitating, but now they've finally turned up!
