Blogs from Germany, Europe - page 665

This blog is late, we don’t apologise. I had a cold and we didn’t have access to a computer for a little. And I didn’t feel like writing another what with finding jobs and a place to live in London. Anyway enough of that. For the past couple of days we have been in Berlin. It’s certainly different to Warsaw but fantastic, so big, so many people and the train system is unbelievable. Melbourne and Connex really suck. Our Germany experience began on the 29th of June, the Euro Cup final, Germany Vs Spain. Our hostel was owned by a Kiwi and they had toasted sandwiches on their restaurant menu. It was the greatest ham cheese and pineapple sandwich we’ve had. Stephen and I decided to find some locals and watch the game. We headed to ... read more

Travel Blog Day 7 Heidelberg Back on the train, heading at high speeds and blogging to pass the time, ah the strangeness of Europe. In America I’d drive, and driving and blogging would be a pretty terrible idea, so we just listen to music… this allows you to be more productive, but the cost is more than driving is (well I don’t know what gas prices have done in 7 days). We are headed to Munich now, and it is a 3 hour train ride… basically we have to go back West to get East, because if there was a direct train it’d be an hour. In Munich we will be picking up the 3rd member of our crew, Kyle. He is coming in from London and we have no idea when he will be in, ... read more

Travel Blog Day 11: Munich Alrighty, sorta went 2 days without writing there, but no worries, my memory is top notch. Sorry I have not loaded in a while, it is just so hard to do here because you have to go and find a café, and then its still not easy because the café’s signal is very weak. Last time I believe that I left you after Dachau, so we’ll go from there. That night was Josh’s birthday, so we took him on down to the largest beer garden in all of the world (in terms of the # of people), which is the Augustiner Beer Garden, we had a good time talking with other groups, and enjoyed the soccer match that they had on the large TV screen (Spain beat Italy in penalty kicks). ... read more

I finally am in Germany and settled down. I'm staying with a very nice family. The parents are Indian, which adds to the cultural learning that this trip is all about. I have pictures, but no way of uploading them at this second, so you'll have to wait. The plane was delayed about an hour, but everything went smoothly and nothing bad happened. I only got about 2 hours or so of sleep, so I'm about to pass out. I'm looking forward to viewing the city through rested eyes! I'm also very happy that my guitar made it through baggage check and so on. Pictures tomorrow... ... read more
