Bad Gleichenberg

Oct.2


Before Landing

The flight towards Austria was overall good. There were a few delays here and there but it wasn't anything major. We were able to make all of our connection flights and arrive safely :) 

The only mishap was that my luggage did not arrive until the following day. I was not a happy camper when I heard the news that my luggage was still at the Chicago O'Hare International Airport when I am in Austria.

The town/area we are staying in is called Bad Gleichenberg. It is also known as a "health resort" because along with the beautiful scenery of the countryside and wonderful hiking trails, Bad Gleichenberg has thermal springs that said to have healing capacity. A perfect place if you are looking for a relaxing get-a-way or if you are seeking medical treatment.

Now that we are away from home, we have to start cooking! The slight problem is that neither Patrick or I really know how to cook. It is horrible I know but it is the truth. :(

Luckily, we met Eileen. She is from Germany and is also studying Health and Tourism Management. She showed us to how to make a quick and easy salad with lettuce, oil, croutons, tomatoes, a can of corn, and bell peppers. It was nutritious and tasted great!
