Aisle of Plenty

"It ain't fair to be excluded from a run just 'cos you ain't gone skiing" (copyright Mind the Gap). 19 years later the Ski Week Solidarity run has become a local tradition much like many another custom of the World's Worst. I am talking about the Hash Ski Week and these people always having a Hash run while they are away and on the loose. Those left behind working (i.e. US) also want to have a Hash run during the annual Hash Ski Week! ;-)

Lonesome Cowboy, one of many alumni of the Vindobona Hash came with the term "Solidarity Hash" first and ever since we have been circling around either near the Karlsplatz or alternatively around the Votivkirche and inside the Alte AKH (great Beerplaces in the inner courtyards!)

Cardinal Munk, OVH is always there to help out and in blatant contrast to previous years told me that "it's your thing to come up with a suitable route". As usual, I had nothing planned so off we went, towards the Naschmarkt, up in the 6th district, back across the Naschmarkt a bit further on, passing by the house where Franz Schubert passed away and even further through lesser busy roads in the fourth district, thereby perusing the occasional architectural gem.

The times of live Hare runs seem to be gone, we started to set the trail a little too early which in turn made us wait for the better part of an hour for everyone to arrive at Schwarzenbergplatz. As it was a little nippy, the circle was held short and off we went to the nearby OnAfter, a zany Asian Food place.

Have a look at some impressions of an evening walk in Vienna.

Aaaah! :-)

VA-VOOM!
