Food and Entertainment

This morning, for some weird reason I woke up feeling like I've partied last night. But I didn't. Must still be jetlag. It's pretty cool to wake up at 5:30 or 6 AM completely awake and ready for the day. But it sucks to be dead-tired at 9 PM, too.
As stated before, we made it back to BF. The snow is gone (except some tiny rests), the lakes are not frozen anymore (except a few bits). It smells like lakes again (it didn't in the winter), too, old seaweed etc, like in one of those pure-air-holiday-villages at, let's say, the Baltic Sea.
Some first bugs are out.

We did our traveling back mostly with Austrian Airlines. They advertise claiming to be a Gourmet Restaurant above the clouds. And they're right! The flight attendants put on aprons when serving food, and the food is very very good. After the old question "pasta or chicken?" you can expect something really delicious on this airline, and the real thing, not the typical light-yellow mush or old wet cardboard they serve other-where.
I had the chicken and it was very good, it came with awesome potatoes. And later they served a selection of warm bread and rolls, with typical Austrian sausages and cheese and butter from Tirol, very good.
Unfortunately entertainment-wise Austrian can't compete. The plane still had the old big screens every 10 meters in the aisles. They showed the same old movie twice ("The boys are back" or so, with Clive Owen). Even the little 1 hour Air Canada flight to our almost-final destination had flatscreens on the seat in front of you, and you could select your entertainment yourself (from new movies, like "Shutter Island"). Well, Austrian, learn the entertainment from Air Canada, but don't learn from them about food!

I must go have breakfast now.
