Yes… this year we had time… for Carneval in Venice! Luckily there was even time to explore another two Italian cities: Udine and Grado. And last but not least we could take a look at Carneval in Villach.

Visit the image gallery to see some extraordinary masks in Venice and enjoy the panorama from the Campanile tower. Weather was not so nice but Venice is always worth it.

The last weeks it was constantly cold in central Europe and so it continues this week (and probably the next weeks too). Some minutes ago I decided to put some new images into the gallery to show you what it looks like having from -5 to -12?C over a longer period.

Added images from a business trip to Salzburg. At the airport the Austrian company Red Bull is leasing out a nice conference room in a small tower made of glass which verges on the Hangar 7 which gives a home to several small Red Bull airplanes and some Formula 1 cars from the Red Bull racing team and last but not least one bar right below the roof, the Mayday bar which makes some of the best pilots crash and a nice restaurant.

The atmosphere is really exciting. If you like luxury this is the right place for you. You also should try out the messaging system in the table which encloses the tavern in the Mayday bar. Or leave your motto at the electronical comic guestbook at the bathroom.
