A new Year 2010

SO............. the new year has begun and the only travel so far was on January1 - to the Rathausplatz in Vienna to watch the Vienna Philharmoniker orchestra's New Year's Day concert. Seen by millions around the world on live TV a group of us here in Vienna have taken to watching  the event on a big screen at the square in front of the Vienna town hall. A cool and misty day this year with fog coming and going throughout the morning but we had access to plenty of gluhwein to keep out the cold!

A super event with lots of fun and a good crowd.

Planning for the year includes  a few trips  already pencilled in and include 2 or 3 new countries as well.

In answer to a question  I was asked at Christmas about how much I have travelled, at the end of 2009  it was as follows:

Total overall of Countries visited: 81
Countries lived in for more than 12 weeks: 8
Countries worked in: 60
Countries holidayed in: 51
