so sad

---

i'm leaving this gorgeous city today. i've had a wonderful time here. mostly just walking around the hills in the surrounding areas and looking at the gorgeous shops. did i tell you they have a christmas shop and an easter shop here. yesterday i hired a bike (i know - again) and cruised up and down beside the river for about 4 hours. it was the nicest day. blue sky, sunny and high 20s. i had a great time. with the hire company they gave me a free audio guide of the city that you're supposed to walk around the city with and look at the buildings. i've already seen the buildings so i lay beside the river and listened to it. it was a fantastic day. went to a famous beer garden the other night. it was so big and had a great atmosphere. we chatted to some austrian guys who were trying very hard to speak english but just kept repeating the same thing that they could say over and over. it was a very entertaining evening!!!!
