Just because the schools are opening their doors again after the long summer holidays, don’t imagine that the time for holidays in 2010 is over. Autumn is a great time to have a short break in this lovely part of the world. Days are still warm and sunny and the crowds are gone. Flights are [...]

Things to do on a Saturday morning in the Malta Valley!
There were still a few hours left on Saturday to fit in some other stuff before we drove to the airport. So we went to the first Malta Valley Oldtimer Rally said goodbye to the folks at the Donkey Park (with a quick last trip to the Anti Stress Bench!) and just in case she [...]
Hochalmspitze bids goodbye to…
..our guest blogger Jane – and of course yet more guests who we have come to know and love. I am assured that the mini series ‘The Misadventures of Jane’ has several other episodes to be published though, once she has regained the ability to use an English keyboard properly! In the meantime here are [...]
A great day out on the Grossglockner Road
Yesterday was one of those days that will remain in my memory for a long while. Regular readers will know that Jane has to return to England on Saturday. She has been with us for nearly seven weeks and had not been over the Grossglockner. We could not let this deplorable omission remain. [...]
Celebrity Guest for the Malta Valley
Those of you who follow our blog will remember Jane’s wonderful ride out on the back of Gordon’s Fazer – she still hasn’t stopped talking about it (although she is today enjoying a ride with John over the Grossglockner, so will have something else to write about now!). Thanks to Gordon’s travelling companion and all [...]

Hochalmspitze Crew ride out with The Mücken Kaning!
Two trips out in two days – how did that happen? Still ours not to reason why – and when you get an invitation from as nice a group as the ‘Mücken’ Kaning, via their Road Captain himself, it would surely be churlish to refuse? So John and I took ourselves and the bike off [...]
Time off to be tourists!
Summer has well and truly returned – temperatures up to 30 degrees today and wall to wall sunshine. So being as it was Jane’s last weekend here and all, we decided to do a bit of touristing ourselves. There are still SO many lovely places we haven’t seen here yet and this was a good [...]
Misadventures of Jane Chapter 6 (a)!
Chapter 6(a) – Still Longer Since I Walked With You John Denver fans will recognise that reference, the rest of you have google at your disposal. Leave it with you. So much happens here, in its own little way, that I have been a bit remiss on the blog front. Oops. So. Totally out of [...]
