Last night we went and had our first genuine Austrian Fondue! It was so delicious! Not only was there an assortment of breads to dip but also pickled onions, gherkins, baby corn, whole jalapenos, cherries, pear and peach!
The side salad was exactly what I had been craving as well, German potato salad, pickled cabbage, carrots, lettuce and tomato with a zingy dressing.
We decided to try Glüwein (hot mulled wine) as well. I drank mine straight but Nathan really didn’t like it, he kept adding more and more sugar to try and make it more palatable but gave up in the end. After tasting his I wished I’d sugared mine as well!!
I woke up this morning a bit down in the dumps. I had thought that I escaped unscathed from being locked in a plane for 15 hours with a woman that was coughing non stop but the sore throat and runny nose have stripped away that illusion.
On the upside, vitamins are super cheap here! €2,99 for 60 Vitamin C and Zinc capsules!
The supermarket fridge shelves are also well stocked with probiotic drinks so I’m sure this will pass very quickly.
On a brighter note, one thing that we have forgotten to mention is how many people here ski in fancy dress!
On our first day we went past a large group of superheroes, the next day we have no idea what the theme was but there were lots of people wearing skin tight fluorescent lycra and today there seemed to be a farmyard theme with pigs and cows everywhere.
It certainly puts a smile on my face!
Maybe next time I will have my camera handy and get some pics :)
