Europe


We had the normal epic flight over to Europe delays etc and finished with the mad rush down the concourse in Dubai to our flight. We had stood there watching the flight information screen for an hour before realising it was malfunctioning and only registering flights after their departure. found an english speaker to be told our flight was now closing for departure hence the mad run with trolley in motion to the departure longe and straight onto the plane. Guess saves queing!!
Caught up with Jmaes, Mike SJ , jared and mark in Munich checked out the goss and Sj's dislocated sholder efore heading to Lofer and the lads to Prague. Great to see the boys and their summer suntans we were the whities!!!. Lofer was just awesome a couple of days there to get over jetlag and relax. We hired a couple mountain bikes and did an epic ride between villages and over farmland. A good work out after a 40 hour flight. had some fab photos but unfortunately thought they were on the computer but had the techo glitch and lost them all. We may have to go back just to reshoot the photos. Loved Austria and then headed towards Italy catching a train shuttle between a mountain range which was spectacular after we emerged from the tunnels.

Now in Slovenia in Solkan where the junior worlds will be held- Kidda has done a wonderful job coahing the team and they are all looking fit and happy, Sue is holding out well and still smiling!!. The girls race Friday both individual and teams

We are here for the next few days heading to explore Bovec shortly just waiting for Les to return from hoon along the motorway in Johann car!! Boys and their toys.
