Millions of years later...Today we participated in a guided tour through the Rappenlochschlucht, an impressive canyon just outside of Dornbirn. It is pretty impressive, what ice, water, wind, time et al managed to do over millions of years. One tends to forget that - even more impressive, when you then walk underneath rock formations which have been there for ages and been washed out by mother nature. Check out the pictures we took - you might get am impression of what we are talking about.
The advantage of this guided tour was that not only we were reminded of many things which we have learned back at school, but also we learned a few new things. Did you know for example what the roots for the word "Ache" (typical name for rivers in West Austria. I.e.: Bregenzer Ache) are? It’s Celtic - the first inhabitants of Voralberg - and means "water". Here you go! ;-)
The boiling afternoon we spent by the lake again sunbathing and swimming and in the evening, after a relaxing 45 minute run, we are having a big family BBQ on Sandra & Flo's balcony (the rocket-launch-platform). We will add pictures of that bash to the holiday section tomorrow!
