Skiing in Austria

I like this picture. It's outside our hotel near the snow fields.

This is Lipno. Some of Prague's ski hills. Too small for us so we travelled to Austria.

On our way to the mountains

Wez and I geared up on the ski field

Jana teaching me a few things

An artistic one


Me snow-ploughing it down the hill. Or I like to say "going the extreme pidgeon toe"

Hluboka (a Chateau) and Cesky Krumlov (a small town)

This is on a wall at Hluboka Chataeu where we had our first stop of the weekend.

In the courtyard, filipe and I compared heights


No explanation necessary

Wez trying to be an angry guard

Welcome to my winter home



Now to Cesky Krumlov.... a world heritage listed little town. Very Beautiful.


Wez, Loz, Filipe, Jana and lots of red roofs. 


Near the puppet museum

Loz's Adventure with Jana to Petrin

Jana and I on the Cable car to Petrin which is a parky area on the hill in Prague.

A Picture from the cable car on the way up the hill

Too many Croissants??

On top of the hill at Petrin


On the first of May Petrin becomes a haven for couples in love who wish to kiss under a blossoming tree and have a picnic. This is the czech alternative to Valentines Day. This is the statue of the founder of this tradition.









@special Post@ Exhibition #2 "Play" @the Mannes Gallery



Wez in his element making music with a plunger...So that's why he does plunging at home! Oh no...thats because of our dodgy plumbing.

The wall of ever changing "Art" and the foam block corner.

The music making bike. Wez's next project at home??

The side of the tunnel of boxes

The most popular with the kids. The rolling ball machine.
