Like last year, we again stayed in Zell am See for a week to have some skiing fun. Given that we numbered 12, we rented 3 apartments in the Appartmenthaus Edelweiss, which is located near the edge of the town (on the road to Saalfelden, the second last building). The train had a 1 hour delay, so we arrived in the afternoon, barging into our rooms at around 13:45. The second half of the party was by then deep entrenched in gridlock, due to heavy snowfall and avalanche warnings throughout the area.
August 12, 2007. An ordinary day. Except for the fact that we had planned to take our kids to the Antwerp Zoo. The weather was fine, we got up sufficiently early. We stayed at the Hanssens base camp in Steenokkerzeel, thus shortening the travelling time by over half. Though vake had to wake moeke, we left on time to Vilvoorde train station.
