Back home in Austria
Huff, after a 32 hours journey, pretty much from one side of the World to the other, I’ve arrived well back home in Vienna for the first time in almost one year…
3 planes, lots-of-rather disgusting plane food and a couple of tranquilizing glasses of vino, I have to admit, I’m pretty stoked arriving in Vienna in the afternoon of Friday the 13th. yep, wasn’t too impressed with myself after I realized that I had booked myself onto this monster-journey on a Friday the 13th, especially after having been on a rather unlucky patch lately anyway… and having just survived a rather heavy car crash, flying on friday the 13th was perhaps pushing it a bit… only if one is supersticious, though, right 
My trip from Perth, Western Australia that took me via Singapore and Frankfurt back home to ‘lovely’, greeeeey Vienna…
So now I’m in drizzly Vienna, staring outside the window, I do have to admit, it all feels rather weired…
In any case, that’s also part of the job and I do have several important meetings and committments here over the next few weeks. Luckily I got a last sick session in before departing W.A. that loaded me with energy to go through this grey city-obligation-stress of the weeks to come… Yeah, sweet swell rolled onto the coats of W.A. and Margaret River went off. I was lucky and had 2 mates on a jet-ski coming out to one of the breaks, will post u pics over the next couple of days !
Stay tuned folks & have fun
