Snowy Castle Stroll

Snowy Castle Stroll

The weather now is actually feels like it has been spring already. My small town has had only few days of snow this year. I'm kind of missing it. Throwing back to old snowy winter memory, here I found the day when I and Mike took a little walk around the castle. It has become ritual in every season. See the same stroll in late Spring/early Summer here and here (on my style blog). Hehehe. Enjoy the stroll....

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 :)

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.

Up there on Schutzhaus Buchberg

Buchberg. Austria. We were climbed the spiral stairs up. At that time, we could see from the tower , landscape of around  the area i live in when it was still covered with snow. It was pretty much like abstract art with the wickery shape of trees and colors that remind me of Egon Schiele's painting, one of artist whose works i adore. Note about the artist: he had been arrested in the town i live and we had his painting there.

I wore my husband's sailing jacket instead of hiking anorak. Yes it was huge but it worked pretty well, since it was so windy. It was windproof, the high colar protected my neck and a lot of warm air trapped inside.

As you can see these place full of beautiful woodcraft.

I would like to jump in the caravan after, but it was not ours. caravan and old wooden tower did look good together.

PS: I just added a new page of a little about me and my photos. I invite you to take a look here.  You can also find it on the link under "About" in sidebar. Thanks before. :)

Wish you all a very happy weekend

Crossing Border Tyrol - South Tyrol and a Break News

 We crossed Austrian Tyrol - Italian South Tyrol by car

 

White land

PS: Don't you know there was freaky snowing in African desert? I saw the news on TV.

Coffee and hot chocolate..nyumm. It was still Austrian Heisse Shokolade, not yet as thick and melty super delicious Italian Cioccolata which more like a pudding.

Cute crafty Toilet signs in Deutsch, Italian and English.

I think it was Alps, not Dolomites. I am a little bit confuse. Buth both are incredible sculpture on earth.

Snow icing? Cake...

Cross-country skiing ....i would like to try this one more than skiing.

And would you mind to  forgive me for showing my purple hair that day. Smile! :)

***

And unfortunately, i have another things that i would like you lovely people to forgive me for. I feel like lately my blog has lost focus and i keep changing my lay-out. If you have recognized, maybe some of you were bothered of it and  that i might not look professional. But here i learn to blog along as I am blogging. So hope i can be more focus, back to it's original content as a photoblog. That's why i am thinking about making special blog for my another muse like focusing on personal style, outsource inspirations, and another social networks account special for giveaway i enter, lol. That's the reason too behind re-layout of my blog for its best. The problem is, it may take long as at the end of  next month i will travel to my homeland (! :)) for 3 months. I have no idea if i will have internet connection or even time to blog, plus that i will not only stay in my hometown. So now it will be an early excuse as well, that starting end of February i may take a blog break. But I am optimist enough to comeback with interesting souvenirs from Indonesia! Country of thousand islands and ethnicities. Does it sounds worth to wait for?

Happy week everyone!
