The rest of the Aussie team departed either for home or luckily enough, Vancouver and I to Kitzbuhel in Austria for a good mates birthday and some recovery time. The event in Russia that I had planned on competing in was not confirmed till too later, very inaccessible and unfortunately my body just needed a break. (I don't think I've ever had to deal with so much lactic acid build up! Aaaghh.. aging.. )
Of the four days I spent here most were chilling out in the hotel relaxing, stretching some very tight muscles and exploring the gorgeous old village. Fresh snow blanketed the village and even sunshine made a celebratory appearance on what could only be described as an idyllic Austrian mountain day!
Kitzbuhel by night
There is an interesting mix of local mountain Austrian wares and fashions mixed in with Louis Vuitton, Bogner and the usual kitch souvenirs. Of course being Austria schnitzle, schnapps, sausage and gluwien were on the cards for sampling!
