As promised - ice climbing action shots!

Many thanks to Achim and Monika Meurer for taking these photos - see their great website (just won an award for being the 3rd best website in Carinthia!) for more goodies like this! http://www.soisses.at/. Not for the faint hearted is ice climbing! Especially after nearly drinking us out of Guinness and Kilkenny!

New Years Eve

Happy New Year to all our readers!! Just a quick post with some of the photos from last night's international festivities - highlight of the night?? Maybe the rendition of Waltzing Mathilda - never before heard in Malta and certainly not sung by a genuine Aussie! Maybe Wolfgang showing up all dressed to kill? Maybe the sky lanterns taking everybody's wishes for 2009 heaven-wards (watch out for video of this once we have got the technicalities worked out!). See for yourselves! And today we did British breakfast brunch for a few hardy souls although other even hardier ones were already on the ski slopes!
