Traveling Wels - Salzkamergut Austria Lately...Some Parts with Some Tips

Hi, everyone! I had been on traveling, road trip forth, back and around in Wels and Salzkamergut. We had internet with a speed of Sloth. You know, that animal that moves very slow, look so cute and harmless. Anyway, I have been keeping update on my instagram @Chachamisu, Tumblr, Twitter and Facebook (which are linked to each other). I had to pass a lot of photos from few days before. May be I'll share them in the future if it's okay not to be always actual. :))

Have you had travel, road trip lately or a little walk perhaps? I love it in Indian Summer Autumn season. The colors are incredible but the weather is not yet so cold. It's my fave time of the year.

So here are my instagram photos from the start of my road trip especially for you who prefer to see them here on my blogspot blog with some tips along!

Start of the trip. It was after 7.30 n the morning and still dark.

On the road the full moon was at our front and the sun rise at our back at the same time!

In Wels we stayed at our fave youth hotel Jugendherberge Alter Schl8hof which full of graffiti/murals around it. It maybe the cheapest accomodation, clean and nice. It has dormitories,  double bed rooms, public kitchen and perfect location near the expo centre.

In Wels we attend Caravan Salon and chasing dream of a trip with mobile home like this. Lol. It's even better than our appartment.

In Wels there is also lovely animal garden (mini zoo) with black swans, running free peacocks etc. The best part is: it's free entry! High recommended also for family with kids.

From Wels, along the road to Gosau the autumn views were totally breathtaking. I shouln't fall asleep! Awesome autumn colors of the leaves and foliage covering the mountains, creek....hmmm I love autumn nature.

In Gosau we stayed at Alpen Hut that maybe also the cheapest accomodation especially if you become member of Alpenverein. The whole beautiful traditional style house for only us two (it can accomodate more people).

In Bad Ischl we visit Kaiservilla, that was the summer residence of Emperor Franz Joseph I and Empress Elisabeth of Austria. It is beautiful but not allowed to take pictures inside.

Saving holiday/travel tips: look around where there are brochures in supermarket, cafe, or information centre of your destination (and around) for discount and promo. We found in supermarket brochures of buy two pay one entry tickets for a lot of nature park, museum, boat tour and another tourism sites.

I wore a plaid coat dress from Mango, velvet legging and beret beanies from H&M. Boots belonged to my mother in law (RIP). The Indian Summer sunshine was so hot so it was too warm outfit :).

One complex area in Kaiservilla is also photo museum. In this time of the year where the dry autumn leaves were hanging down its iron vintage patio it looked like a beautiful yet mysterious ghostly palace.

Expect more photos in the future! I hope you like my quick post this time. Have a super inspiring day and pleasant trip if you're on the way.

Chacha :)

Color Me Photos: POP Summer!

Pop Summer in Austria. Drum roll for more photos please!

Hi!

This summer I've seen bold pop of colors and lovely things. They are in red, yellow, blue, green and a little bit of pink or orange. Super fun colors combo, don't you think? It's energetic, dynamic...and just make a kick on the corner of my lips to smile in those days of blue. I mean...

This house has pretty fancy roof.

Lovely Walk: Sunrays, Vintage Houses, Roses and Goats

Beautiful small town stroll. Scroll down I have more!

Hi, everyone! It's big holiday in my homeland and I'm a little homesick every this time of every year. Missing especially my mom, my siblings, all family and friends, food (yes, special food!), and just the special atmosphere and tradition. I even miss my dad that has passed away more than 9 years ago. I am a home town girl at heart and loving family so much even it's not like what it may seem. ( Now I am singing Selena Gomez's Wizard of Waverly Place theme song: "Everything is not what it seems...." Yes, I love the series!).

It was Eid Mubarak but no matter what religion people have there in Indonesia it's big holiday and time for people to usually come home to their hometown, have reunion with old friends, forgive each other and cook special food! Some of them also wear special clothes and giving some money to the younger family members. I don't feel really well to talk or mention any religion in my blog but it's the same like when it's New Year, Christmas, Mothers Day or Independence Day, etc, I would like to say Happy Eid Mubarak to all people that celebrate it and I apologize for my faults. Maybe I have posted something that has hurt you in a way? 

So that's what facebook is for. A lot of my family, relatives and friends are facebookers so it's kind of staying connected and celebrating via facebook! I wrote on my status thank you for it and I wish there will be already teleport app next year! Or the magic door of Doraemon perhaps (Japanese cartoon character which has magic pocket and magic door is a door you can go anywhere you want with it in seconds)!

For a little sense of celebration, my husband surprised me with a pot of chilly plant, with a lot of chillies already on them! i love super spicy food and hot chilly. I add chillies on my dish every day! I am excited to have my first chilly picking. :)

However, I like this small town, my home town now in Austria. It's like my sanctuary especially when I am mellow like that. There's not much going on here but it's enough for feet to have a lovely walk, my curious eyes to stroll around and always discover something beautiful.

Before next post with outfit and awkward poses, I share you lovely encounters from my wandering around in...June! Yes, my photos are not always actual. Well, photograph is capturing memories and freezing time. Because I have them edited when I made this post here, I'll post them now. They won't hurt. I even hope you like them!

Sun rays shower on apple tree

Who wants to lay on bed of roses? Not with the thorns.

I like it that way, the stairs outside right away up to the attic.

Stripes Weekend

Helloooo.....! How's your weekend?

I actually have taken pretty amount of photos cause I have managed to take few shots while strolling around or just went out few meters in front of our flat. I don't know which one anymore I should start to post on my blog with. I think I would just skip the rest of Vienna photos and some spring photos full of flowers! Mind you, perhaps I could post them next year! I want to run a bit faster to catch up the up to date blog post. However...I don't want to skip this one. Hehehehe. 

Strolling Around Vienna

Strolling around Vienna...

We started with visiting Naschmarkt where there is flea market every Saturday.
The area is full with beautiful old buildings. I spotted this vintage hexagon balcony. Isn't it gorgeous?

Parking space was totally full.

Then it was raining. Do you know which one is me peeking secondhands under that large plastic wrap? This one sold mostly Monki.

The rain was so annoying so we run across to cafe Savoy. It has wonderful classic interior and crowded but cozy atmosphere seen in my previous post here. I ordered hot chocolate with cream which was usually served in a pretty white cup with black Mozart cameo silhouette on it. I looked trough window several time checking out the weather.

When the sun finally smiled again we went back to flea market. I browsed trough a huge pile of 80s 90s clothes while my husband Mike was hunting for shots (the people there were amazing, all kind of interesting street styles and unique characters).

I'm trying on Miu Miu kitten heels. Photo by Mike

My thrift-gret of this year! A Miu Miu kitten heels. I thought too long to buy it or not and ended up by putting them back. The seller said: "It's your fault!". I know.... Beside that it was actually half size number smaller, I was just so much considering my arthritis feet that I only wanted to buy flat shoes in which I can put my orthopedic custom insoles. Now that my feet are good enough to a short walk in kitten heels, I want those shoes!

After saw this photo my husband said the shoes don't look that awesome but i still like them according to what I've recorded in my mind.

What is your biggest thrift regret?

 

It had been a long summer day time. I didn't realized that the flea market was almost over before the sun went down. Some of the sellers had left the place (the Miu Miu shoes seller had been gone earlier). Some of them brought home their stuffs but tons of things just left over dirty and wet. People insanely picked them up before they would be scooped and thrown in garbage truck. (I too picked up a bag! Such a hoarding, help!).

Anyway, I bought one thing that I know i would need it during summer: straw hat! 1 Euro.

Me as tourist. Photo by Mike.

We walk trough the next market where we bought Falafels with Melanzani dip. Nyumm.... Sorry I have no photo of Falafels but below is a photo of me eating them. Falafel is Middle East food, a fried ball made from chickpeas, beans and spices. 20 balls of falafels around 2 Euros, that was the cheapest price we got.

How do I look? It reminds me of some tourists in my country.

We continued to stroll around discovering more and more vintage building, statues and ornaments. I would like to take photos of them without modern sticks and traffic signs though.

And archs! I love walking trough archs.

All kind of bikes from Harley, Vespa (with Italian flag on the front of it), big bikes, small bikes and even the cute Twizi, the little two seats car.

I also love the oxidized copper roof. The color turned green. It became more antique and charming.

Vienna has a lot of yellow walls that glow under the sun. I like that I capture the yellow color with red stripes next to it.

In the evening the sunlight washed the city. It made such dramatic views. It was wonderful time and city to stroll around indeed. We had more round before my poor feet started to feel sore but I keep them for some times later. Hope it's okay. :) 

Have a super inspiring week!

Snowy Winter Walk

The snow has melted away but here I want to share some snowy landscapes I love at their bests. Puffy and dry. As I am from tropical country who just saw her first snow about 3 years ago, I am yes still amazed with the views of every snowy winter. I've never made any snowman so far, but I love to step on dry snow with ugly boots till my nose waters.The buildings look dreamy when they have snow on top like sugar icing and frozen drops.

 Awkward expression when I was actually enjoying my nyummy cupcake heh.

We spontaneously did winter walk in the early morning and my breakfast was a chocolate cupcake on the way.

 Considering my self like a dwarf from fairy tale. My husband had walked so far ahead. I decided to stop a while, looked around and it felt surreal. (But then here a ridiculous narcissm striked back, sorry that i have to show you this face)

Thanks for visiting, I hope you have a super inspiring week!

xo,

n-Chacha-n
