Talent in Bludenz

Do you know where Bludenz is? I have to confess I didn't know until some weeks ago. To be honest I had not even heard the name.

At least for some months I have known what the Talent is. I guess most of you don't which is no wonder because it's the name of a train built by Bombardier.

What had been unknown words for me some months ago brought me to my first business trip abroad (even if it was only Austria;-). We organized a part of the "retrofit" for the Talent there which started on Monday. "Retrofit" means that changes are implemented to the already existing fleet of trains. Here it was for the fleet of the Austrian National Railways (ÖBB).

Some people keep joking that I was on holidays 3 days and well what can I reply...? I agreed that it was like holidays but only after 6 or 7 pm. Honestly, Bludenz is a nice place for a holiday. The view there is incredible (especially when the weather is as nice as this week): only mountains around you.

But I have to admit that it is really a very small place. We only found one restaurant in town for example;-)
