as I have been very busy with school and everything, I have not found the time to get in touch with you recently. Sorry about that, rest assured I have thought of yous quite a lot, in case you checked and noticed nothing was going on... there was a lot.
Rita and I went on a holiday in Amsterdam in December
where we did a lot of sight seeing around the beautiful old part of the town and its famous Grachten... 
and spent a few days in London in February, it was Rita´s first time ever, so again we tried to see as many things as spossible within the short amount of time we had... but it was great!
We did not go on the London Eye, but had a few romantic walks along the Thames; we lived very near Tower Bridge and the Tower, so walked across and past them, naturally,
We had a look around Big Ben as well, of course,
and also took the boat up to Greenwich, the Maritime Museum and the Zero Meridian at the Royal Observatory. It was a fantastic trip, and if you havppen to go to London some time soon, make sure to check out the many different walks offered there. We did the Jack the Ripper Walk, a 90 minute tour around the area of Jack´s famous and brutal killings and that was fabulous, good fun and interesting.
Then I also was at a ski trip with school in January, the national championship in skiing for schools at the beginning of March and spent a couple of days at a football camp with my team.I also had a lot of tests at school and a couple at uni, where I do a programme for students to be who need an English preparation for university; and now I am writing this on my new little pc thingy, which I acquired just the other day because the old one is slowly giving up...
Later, I have to correct two exams which I held before the Easter holidays, I´ll do that today and tomorrow, and on Friday, I go skiing with a couple of mates from uni - Achi and Volker, for the ones who remember them!
So, as you can see, life is busy, but please do not hesitate to plan a trip to Europe / Austria again soon, as I would really like to see some of you again some time soon!
All the best,
Ernsti Fi.
