back

Just coming back from a great vacation to Sankt Martin/Austria. Nina and I spent there 10 terrific days mountainbiking, playing tennis & relaxing. Being very lucky, we only had warm and sunny days there, rain only the day we left ... Sankt Martin is about 9 hours away from home (by car), a very good reason to visit my sister and her family in Regensburg, almost half way ...

Every day started with 30 min of jogging through the forrest, after having a shower breakfast, then relaxing until noon. In the after-noon we rented mountainbikes from Sportmax, whose owner Horst gave us a lot of inside information about the best routes around St. Martin (in the winter his shop is the place to rent skis, bigfoots & whatever you need for skiing ...).

After 2-4 hours biking we derserved our rest and some swimming. Then it was time to prepare for diner - and there are a lot of great places for dining in St. Martin:

If you like romantic books, I can highly recommend you this one:

"If Only It Were True" by Marc Levy
A young architect in San Francisco awakens one day to find a woman in his closet--a woman with the ability to appear and disappear at will, who claims that her body lies in a coma in a hospital across town--and forms a bond with her that leads him to make an extraordinary effort to save her life.
