Seeboden Children's Folkdance Festival(Austria)
14th-21st July 2009
Trying to fit 6 people, 6 suitcases and 6 sets of handluggage into a Vauxhall Zafira was not the best task to face at 3am in the morning, but after a bit of jiggling around and a bit of push and shove; everything was in and everyone was comfortable so off we set for the estimated 6hour drive.
Stansted Airport was negotiated without any problems and we even managed to board the correct Ryanair plane amongst the seemingly hundreds of Ryanair Jets parked around the airport, even during the flight there seemed to be Ryanair planes everywhere

A short flight was followed by some zigzagging between the Austrian mountains before landing at Klagenfurt Airport. Here we were greeted by Edda Holzer, her Husband and two children from her dance group, before being whisked off to our first display at Dobriach.
