Austria.

The home of Beethoven, Mozart and Strauss, Sigmund Freud, Ferdinand Porsche, Arnold Schwarzeneggar, Niki Lauder and Franz Klammer but to name a few.

Some of our Hello team recently spent time skiing in Austria and managed to enjoy and savor the warmth and hospitality of this beautiful country and their people.

Landing in Germany before embarking on a drive through Lichtenstein into Austria, eventually arriving in the village of Mittersill near Kitzbuhel, we were greeted with kindness and smiles everywhere, such an admirable friendliness, occasionally missing from our own busy everyday lives.

When returning from skiing on New Years Eve this was epitomised by the owners of our apartments, leaving the below poem (with accompanying bubbly), highlighting their nothing is too much trouble, can do attitude and perfect hospitality.

Fresh air... Fresh ideas... Fresh talent... Fresh energy...

Wishing you have a;

Sweetest Sunday, Marvellous Monday, Tasty Tuesday, Wonderful Wednesday, Thankful Thursday, Friendly Friday and Successful Saturday.

Have a great year!

Happy New Year!!! Glückliches Neues Jhar.

Given the time of year and our own personal extra shopping experiences, pre-Christmas purchases and post-Christmas returns or simple everyday grocery jaunts, this customer service experience should definitely be admired. Thank you Austria.
