Stanserhorn, Switzerland - 29th September 2012
By: dawoni
We made a special trip today. We went to Stanserhorn. The Stanserhorn is a mountain located in Switzerland, specifically, in the canton of Nidwalden close to the border with Obwalden, at 1898 meters above sea level. In 2001, a revolving restaurant was built on the top.
On 29 June 2012, a new cable car CabriO was opened to the public, with a capacity of 60 persons in each of the two cars. Unusually it has a double decker arrangement, and is claimed to be the first in the world with an open-air upper deck, with standing room for 30 persons. This runs from Kälti (Chälti on some maps) to the summit, with the original 1893 funicular railway running from the base at Stans to this intermediate station.
Of course, I also need a ticket!
The old funicular railway...
Of course, I enjoyed the ride on the open-air upper deck.
Look, that's the new cable car...
Wonderful view. I love it!
Hi Mum, do you know this places?
...and this mountains?
The revolving restaurant.
...finally on the top!

Donauzentrum, Vienna, Austria - 20th October 2012
By: Petzii
Hy Mom,
the last week was so dusty and rainy. Host-mom also had to work the whole week, because her colleague was sick.
But on Saturday, the 20th of October we had a little trip.
At first we made a test drive with the Dacia Duster, because host-granddaddy's car has broken down.
After that we drove to the Donauzentrum (Danubecenter), one of the biggest shoppingcenter in Austria.
In this shop it wasn't allowed to take fotos, so I'm not in it. Host-mom secretly took it with her mobile phone.
After that we went to eat a little.
The restaurant is called Saloon and there you can order a dish called Goldgräberplatte (Gold Digger plate), for 3-4 Persons.
Actually we don't know how this 3-4 Persons look like, but we coulndn't eat it.
On Friday, the 26th of October is the national holiday, and also host-mum's birthday.
We are going to visit the Heldenplatz and the Hofburg, because every year there you can see the Austrian military and the swearing of nearly 1.400 Military servants, the Austrian president is going to be there too.
But I'm going to show you more of it after our visit.
Love,
Huhn
