Departure was scheduled for 8:30, therefore, left the house at 3:30 am. The airport is 250km to go - not a short.
At first the weather is pleased. We saw an elk. He went straight to the road. Riding in front of the truck slowed down. Los slowly turned and walked into the woods. Just the fear of lost.
After a while it began to snow, big flakes. Visibility was 30 meters. The road was covered with snow immediately, looked through the side of a very bad. A feeling that you go nowhere. In the headlights flashed a fox ran across the road. Well at least has managed to cross. Closer to Helsiki weather was adjusted.
When the airport had one hundred kilometers, Lech threw SMS, that he had already arrived and will be waiting for us in the parking lot, sunk into a deep sleep. He can sleep anywhere and in any position. In this we found some time later.
While we were listening to CD mp3 Daniil Kharms, who bought in Russia, Julia. Bellow as obkurenye. The author is clearly something to smoke, when writing his stories, or I will explain them to plague the contents can not.
At the airport, I unloaded Julia with things at the terminal, and he went to the parking lot. The cheapest car park has recently moved. Now, from her to the terminal 15 minutes walk (it was 5). Okay, that everywhere there are signs for both vehicles and pedestrians. Having entered the parking lot, I doubted. The fact that Alexei did not have any instructions on how to find it there. If you try to call the girl in Russian intelligibly explained that the number is dialed correctly. Ride between rows of cars, sent him a SMS and immediately ran into his car. Vstecha was warm and friendly.
Leh, I brought new shoes Salomon XWAVE9. Pomeroy them, Lech glad that they came to him, and almost wanted to run into them at the airport, but then changed his mind. Taking his stuff, we moved to the international airport terminal.
At registration we politely explained that under the new rules we have to pay for the skis to 20 euros per couple and take them to the spetsbagazh. There was no turning back, so we did not hesitate, counted out the money.
We flew by Lufthansa. In the plane had leather seats, gave eat and drink. With the ... to. took some Coke, although it was possible to take alcohol. But he had yet to mashiu, so alcohol is not particularly attracted.
At the airport in Munich, but it is there we arrived, it was warm, 10. Surprise announcement on the loudspeaker in Russian. I did a little skiing is not dropped - so powerful was given instructions to our fellow countrymen.
We were given a car Ford Focus 2, wagon. In any case, we took the chain and the attachment for skis on the roof, because experience told to err.
Especially for longer trips to unfamiliar places I had purchased a PDA with navigation system, which showed a great time for all of our trips to Austria. Our next goal was a supermarket, where we had to buy food for the coming week for five people. Navigator took us straight to the underground parking lot of the store.
In the shop we rapidly began to buy everything on the list, expertly compiled Lehoy in advance ( for which he had a separate Respect ). All come cheap and moderately.
It should be noted Austrian art dealer minced. He sold it in bulk, so that does not load himself and his gestures and facial expressions, was made the right decision - to write what we want on paper and show it to him. The seller immediately realized that we had, and in two -to-face put on the scales are exactly one and a half kilograms minced.
The plan Lech wanted to take two boxes of beer, but, considering the volume, we decided for the first time to take only one. The next fifteen minutes, we scoured the beer department collecting all sorts of cans of beer, and collecting them in a box of ...
History repeated itself in the wine department. Boxed wine we did not find general. I had to take bottles. Specifically chose only the Austrian wine. The plan had to take nine bottles, but, considering the volume, took only five, with the calculations that you can always buy more.
The place of our residence were located ten kilometers from Innsbruck (Innsbruck). It was a small village in the locality of which was very much the name of Lance (Lans). In contrast, Innsbruck, are placed in the valley, she was on a hillside. Hence it is very narrow streets, where the oncoming cars are leaving soon.
The first night we had to sleep in another house, t. to. previous guests had not yet left. In the ... It came out right in the valley and in the evening, we enthusiastically admired the twinkling lights of Innsbruck. The only problem was that it was impossible to cook to eat. But we, like real tourists are not discouraged and decided to celebrate the arrival of visiting the local pub and edalni. The fact that the slopes of the first day we planned to ride in the town of Igls (Igls), which is only two kilometers from our location. Therefore, we decided to go look for a restaurant is there, but at the same time and see how things are out there with the snow and ski lifts. Snow, of course, we did not see. It turned out that there goes the funicular to the mountain and the snow starts a little higher and there can be reached by car. Again, pleased with the ubiquitous signs in Russian, like ... n.
A little wandering on the Eagles, we found a rather expensive restaurant with a decent menu. There we decided to only a national Austrian food. Fat, Viennese Schnitzel, beer went perfectly. But we overgorged there so that Lech has not eaten his potatoes with the meat (although the dish is, of course, known as much more beautiful in Austria ).
After dinner, we are tired, but happy back home and forgot sweet sleep, for the next day we had to begin the conquest of the Austrian Alps.
