Salzburg...

This weekend we went to a 2 day dog fair in Salzburg! Martina (who is from Salzburg) and I decided to leave the day before as Martina wanted to visit friends & family and I wanted to see the city. We left at 3 pm on Thursday looking forward to a nice dinner in Salzburg. Well, after about 2 hours drive, a red light in Martina's car indicated that the airbags were disactivated. Altough I would have continued the trip, Martina was very worried and we decided to stop at a mechanic. Everything was already closed but then we drove by a VW place where the manager was just leaving. He brought us to the mechanic and we started by all having a coffee together. After a few more coffees, 2 hours later!!!! we continued our trip...with activated airbags....When we finally arrived, it was so late that we just went straight to bed. We stayed at a very cute Austrian style boutique hotel which happened to be just next to Martina's parents house, in the country side.

The next day, we enjoyed a very nice and relaxing morning in Salzburg. The sun was shining and we had a champagne brunch on a terrace overseeing the old town. In the afternoon we had to go to the fair to prepare everything for the next day and then we had a nice barbeque at Martina's parents house. Austrian food is fabulous and people are really friendly...I immediately connected with the place and I will put it on my list for 'best places to live'...

The fair itself was quite hectic: there were barking dogs with their stressed owners everywhere and soon we were missing our 'Laubberg' where everything is so idyllic and quiet...Of course, Hans's show was a success and then we worked with many people who came to our stand and had problems with their dogs. Altough the fair was closing at 5 pm, we would never leave before 7 pm, then would have dinner at the hotel altogether and finally enjoy our soft beds...

When we came back home at night, we saw a littel baby fox (about 3 weeks old) just outside the caravan and followed it by car into the forest. It's soo cute! Then I picked up Paulo & Liwa from the office and all three of us had a big snuggle session in the caravan until we fall asleep...
