A Weekend in the Wald

Last weekend, I went to stay with my friend Sophie (there's just so many of us!!) who is doing the same english teacher assistantship like me but in a small farming village called Bezau in the north west of Austria

Klagenfurt is right down in the south of Austria, my friend lives as far west as you can get! (She borders with Switzerland and Liechtenstein) The trip to see her took a good 8 hours, with a stop in Salzburg in the north of Austria and a quick trip through Germany too! But it was well worth the effort, as it was lovely to catch up with a good friend, and see a bit more of what Austria has to offer!

Bezau is a farming village, with a population of 1 thousand people, so we were never going to have a busy weekend. Nevertheless we enjoyed lovely bike rides through the Wald (forest) and even helped out milking cows on the farm my friend is staying at!!

 A really different weekend, but great fun and an experience I'll never forget!

Taking the fresh milk to the Sennerei to be made into cheese!

Enjoying a well earned home-made schnapps with the farmers after our hard grafting!!
