Looking for Vicky the Viking

During the past weekend it became finally obvious that our peaceful time on our roof terrace is over as one of our directly neighbouring flats has been sold and the new owner, a nice lady with a young Golden Retriever, is about to move in during the next few weeks. In order to get over this shock we decided to leave Vienna for a weekend and so on Thursday morning Kerstin hopped on a train to Vorarlberg for a final visit to her mom and sister without our little one and Markus boarded a plane towards Gothenburg for a weekend "on sea" just like the Vikings.

Sunshine up in the North

Markus' boss owns a stake in a Swan 82 race yacht and so a group of 8 decided to join him sailing around the islands near Gothenburg. Last year they cruised in Sardinia with blue skies, 35 degrees and a decent breeze, but this time around warm clothes, hats and windshields are a must as the temperatures are forecast at maximum 15 degrees during the days. Just like at work, one can say that the sunny days with warm wind are over and one has to face a tough climate and a cold breeze in which only the fittest survive. As Vicky the Viking already showed us, it might well be though that the smartest has the best chances to be successful.
