16/12/10 - 08/01/11: Christmas in the snow...Being relatively new to the city for Christmas 2009, we spent the festive season in Hong Kong. But by December 2010 we were more firmly established for our second Christmas in Hong Kong and decided that there is really only one place to be at Christmas time, back in Europe with our family and friends.
Astrid headed back to Austria, Ian headed first to Harpenden for Christmas and then onto Austria for New Year. Happily, Saalfelden and the Pinzgau valley enjoyed good snow fall and so we enjoyed the snowy countryside. We even spent one night at Fred's mountain chalet after hiking up to it with our snow shoes, it was minus 16 degrees outside, so we were happy that the chalet was nice and warm through the night. We also made the trip to Graz and Leoben to see more friends and family. We celebrated grannies 80th birthday and also had the pleasure of grannies - hopefully not last - famous 'Schweinebraten'
It was great to see lots of friends and family, and we were sad to leave Europe, but excited to be heading back to Hong Kong for 2011.
