Austria Tour


This summer, I made a tour through Austria with my friends because we have a ticket which is valid for all trains in our country for the whole summer. This is very useful for us because in Austria you have to be 18 years old to do your driving license because we don't really need it earlier because we are a small country and we have trains everywhere.
So on August 2nd, me and 5 of my best friends (2 girls and 3 boys) took the train at Vienna to go to one of the nicest lakes of Austria because we all love swimming. When we arrived at the small village "Weissenbach" the weather was nice and we went to the camping place to set up our tents. Actually we wanted to go to the lake on the next day but in the evening it started to rain cats and dogs (which means it rained very much). It would not have been that bad but the ground where our tents stood was not very flat and so the water came through the base of our tent inside and so at five in the morning the boys came and told us that everything was swimming in their tent. So we left earlier than we had planned and took the next train to Salzburg, one of the biggest cities in Austria. There we did a bit of shopping and went to a "Beisl" (that's a mixture of bar and restaurant and it is very typical for Austria) to watch soccer there because it was an important game for the soccer in Austria.
The rest of the week the weather was very nice and we swam every day in the lake and we had a lot of fun together.
After Salzburg we went to 2 other famous Austrian lakes; the Bodensee (which you can also see in the newest "James Bond" because there is a scene in Austria) and the Woerthersee.
I loved this week because we did all sorts of things such as shopping, sightseeing, relaxing and barbeque. It was very good for me because thus I had the possibility to spend one week with my closest friends before we had all the goodbye-parties and I left for Canada.
