Austria and Paris

Yay! We finally found cheap internet in Paris!!! Sorry it's taken us so long to blog again.
Austria-


Was AMAZING!!!! But we should probably tell about the craziness in GETTING there.

We missed our transfer. That's right. The blonde hair is not just for good looks:) We rocked up to the contiki basement, and were like- "We're here for our bus!" And they were like- "Umm... That was yesterday." BUGGER! So $500 later and a VERY comfortable nights sleep in the airport (we are now true backpackers!) we finally made it to Hopfgarten, only a day late. There we met our contiki hosts, Steve and Anthony... cooolest guys eva, except that for the rest of the week we were known as Doosh & Bag (let you figure out whos who)! They took us out and got us totally smashed. We're talking that we bought one drink each, but for some STRANGE reason, ended up with 7 each. There MAY have been pole dancing involved.


We also met two other amazing groups of people. So much fun, and SO generous (thanks SO much for the ice skating Paul and Andy! You're awsome!) They were all so different and so crazy (Yay for dancing the Eagle Rock with your pants down. We've learnt SO much :P)


The skiing in Hopfgarten was amazing. Over 280 km of slopes and we didnt go on the same run twice... except for the terrain park in hich we suffered many bruises.. but no breaks.



We both got sick (tummy bug. Yuck!) at different times, but still partied on! Including karaoke, dancing and what the locals like to call... THE BUCKET!!!




























Our transfer from Austria to Paris was MUCH easier, and our appartment is gorgeous! Just a few blocks from the Eifle Tower (Life is SO hard). Paris has been beautiful. the weather has been... indecisive. Rain then sun then rain then wind, then just to keep us guessing, some more sun. Can't work it out. But We've done the Louvre, Notre Dame, Champs Elysees, Arc d Triomphe,Eifle Tower (and yes, Andy, we did walk up the whole thing, all 686 stairs of it! Woo Hoo, but ouch) and Sacre Coure. And shopping. I BOUGHT A COAT (meanign georgie bought a coat *squeaky voice*) Haven't got any photos yet, but promise to include in the next blog. We've been living in the patisseries and cafes, pretending to be oh so french (and hoping we don't get fat, just like the french :)
















We've been having the most amazing time. Haven't killed each other yet, just give us time peoples!
Thankyou so much for all your posts. Keep us updated. We love you all so much!
Miss you.
Love Sascha & Georgie
