Wild boars
Even though the weather could have been better, I went for a walk in the Lainzer Tiergarten today – I had some new hiking boots to break in. On this stroll with a friend, we enjoyed the nice view of Vienna. Moreover, we could see some wild boars, deer, and one lone squirrel.
As the only country in the world, Austria has built a nuclear power plant without ever putting it in operation. Nowadays, this gives the opportunity to go inside an actual reactor (as part of a twice-weekly public tour). That is exactly what I did today with a group of friends.

Today, I celebrated the Austrian National Day the way you just have to celebrate it at least once in your life, I guess: in the city centre of Vienna. Continue reading Austrian National Day
My vacation in Croatia was rather atypical for me. Apart from exploring some cities and national parks, I mainly spent my time relaxing on the beach. Pure indulgence!
The last destination of my stay in Croatia was also the least touristy: the island of Vis. This island used to be a military base (up to 1989). Therefore, it is not yet that developed for toursists. However, that was just what I wanted. So, I simply spent my time lazying around and enjoying the island life on Vis and the neighbouring island of Biševo. Continue reading Green Hills and Blue Caves
