Austrian Birthday Adventures



The first weekend of June we went on another group trip; this time to Tirol, Austria for a friend's 30th Birthday extravaganza.  As you might have figured out by now, we expats like to live large and don't bother with your run-of-the-mill Holiday Inns.  Nope, we spent the weekend at a nature resort in chalet apartments.  Think basically a little kid's fantasy adventure land.  The weekend's activities included canyoning, white water rafting, and birthday binge drinking.  Canyoning is just nuts and I obviously opted out.  Even though everyone who did it had a blast, I on the other hand would have had a panic attack and mental breakdown.  Here's a video of canyoning so you can get an idea of how terrifying this is to a girl with a fear of heights...




I did, however, opt-in for the rafting and drinking (not simultaneously).  Here are some pics of both....


Actually, these happen to be the only two pictures we have as evidence of the first night's festivities. Maybe they're all we need; perhaps they say it all.

I do, however, possess plenty of pictorial evidence of me being adventurous for once.  Here's us white water rafting...











Our livers may have suffered and some memories may still be hazy, but as is the norm with this crew we had an incredible time.  Thanks again to Megan for organizing an amazing weekend!
