27 August - 2 September 2012

Free contraception is not available in Austria, (unless you happen to be a student at the International School of Sex in Vienna, which has a curriculum offering '5 courses, 200 lessons, a lifetime of pleasure and free contraception'). This, and perhaps a good Catholic upbringing, means that abstinence in teenage years amongst Maria Almers appears to be not unusual. Justine is fondly reminded of the Ski School end of season weekend. Following a game of strip poker the boys climbed into bed with the girls, sung them a lullaby until they were asleep and then crept quietly back to their own dormitory. Justine is considering being a NHS tourist to avoid a 500 euro bill for contraception.
