It's been some time since i have posted anything ... over a month now . Life has been hectic with work , my hockey club and absolutely no social life because i am saving for my next trip . This all equals a very uninteresting person doesn't it . Well my team here has had its ups and downs , we just turned things around recently after having both teams demoted :( yeah it sucked but winning is more fun ... i don't care what anyone says its plain and simple .
So the pains i am enduring for this trip are oh so horrible LOL .. nah i am just kidding , same as usual i am sitting here trying to contact a rink in Liechtenstein . Yes there is a rink there , not regulation size and not indoors but it is a place that can facilitate my hockey needs . And i just wanted to let all the nay sayers know that i am going to skate there .... So many people have told me there is nowhere to skate there or play hockey , well i found this - http://www.tourismus.li/en/winter/more-winter-sports-activities/ice-skating.html ... check it out , its beautiful and the website seems to be up to date . In fact there is another place to go for a pleasure skate this year also :)
Here is my plan ... not being too selfish as there will be others on this trip like my girlfriend who does not play hockey but will endure a lot of it on this trip . We will be in Europe tripping around for a few weeks , but the main part of the trip will be meeting the gang of Rainman Allstars in Austria where we are spending NYE . We are staying in Feldkirch ( hopefully i can meet up with my former team mates there from the Feldkirch Chiefs ????) this city is close to Liechtenstein and not far from Davos , Switzerland where we will be watching the Spengler Cup Final :) already got our tickets booked . I am hoping we can have 1 day in Liechtenstein where we go for some puck at the ice hockey rink and then go into the city center for some public skating of course mixed in with lots of libations and a nice dinner somewhere in Vaduz . Would be a great way to spend a day there ... hopefully the rest of the lot will agree to it . I think they will since they are bringing their gear with them , it would just be nice for the non hockey players with us to get on the ice for a skate though ... be prepared to see some nice pics as it looks like a beautiful rink there . If you check that link above you will see proof of it .
The main problem is contacting the rink ! I emailed them last week and yesterday again with no response , this is nothing new to me ... the website is in English but i assume they speak German there ( not sure ) and it doesn't matter what language they speak , the point i am getting at is that when i send out emails to make contacts in foreign countries where English is not the first language , usually i don't get responses . Yeah its odd , i mean don't they want people to come there ??? Anyways i don't want to rant too much about it as i am hoping Timo can contact them , he speaks German so hopefully it makes some difference . I want that flag on my bag so badly ....
At the moment the plan is to add Liechtenstein , Switzerland and Morocco on my bag after this trip .... yeah Morocco . Just waiting to finalize everything before i write about it :) stay tuned .
