Sorry anybody who likes to keep up to date with my blog. I have been very bad at keeping it updated. I am determined to keep going though; as I don't want to be one of those people full of excitement for two weeks, then forget I was ever doing it. I am now in my second week back in Germany, after two and a half weeks back in Britain. I expected my return home to be really exciting and sentimental; where I would get off the plane whilst the national anthem is playing, and to be greeted like The Beatles, having thousands of screaming people expecting my arrival. Instead, it was a more German affair. I sat next to a German boy on the plane home and spoke German with him for an hour and ... read more

Titisee, 21.09.2011. Nach gut drei Wochen haben wir Winterthur wieder verlassen. Die Tage waren ausgefüllt mit Besuchen der Baustelle, Treffen mit Handwerkern, Familie und Freunden sowie Wartungsarbeiten am Wohnmobil. Nun geniessen wir wieder das süsse Nichtstun, im Moment am Titisee. Das Wetter hat sich auch wieder beruhigt. Der Regen der letzten Tage hat der Sonne Platz gemacht. Nachdem sich der Frühnebel verzogen hat spiegelt sich die Sonne im Titisee. Am frühen Morgen zeigt unser Innenthermometer nur noch 9°C an. Zum Frühstück und auch am Vorabend musste darum die Heizung laufen. Am Tag steigt die Temperatur aber auf 20°C an. In den Strassen von Titisee flanieren die Touristen. Wir werden voraussichtlich Morgen in Richtung Locarno weiterreisen. Dort wollen wir noch einmal eine Woche lang Wärme tanken. ... read more

Sorry for abandoning my blog, but i don't feel that i have anything new to say! Everything is going great, weather could be better but never mind. Feeling a bit ill, but got 2 days off to hopefully recover. Planning on sleeping lots and drinking plenty of PG tea :) Haven't really got anything to complain about, just that i need to sleep :P Tschuss xx... read more


sorry about the lack of bloggage; we thought the internet was down when in fact they'd unplugged it to make the reception computers work faster! soooo here is a quick update... work is going fine, had tuesday and wednesday free, so did some shopping and spent the rest sunbathing :) finally cooled down today, chucking it down with rain but was such a nice temperature to work in! so no swimming in the lake today. had my first breakage the other day, was cleaning a table in the swimming pool room with glass in the middle and decided to turn it on its side, forgetting that the glass wasn't glued down, so it shattered everywhere. oops! ah well all was fine. having lots of fun with everyone in the house, all great people :) off out ... read more


Only a few lines, too tired to write much! Went to the town's one and only nightclub on friday night but came home at 1am as it was rubbish hip-hop and was half empty. Shame as i was in need of a night out! We were going to go again last night but a huge thunderstorm ruined that idea. I've never seen a thunderstorm like it, it was like a bunch of photographers were standing outside the window there was so much lightning and the thunder was making the whole house vibrate :s. Sadly it didn't clear the air and it's been ridiculously humid today :( Been so so busy here at the hotel, peak season is well and truly underway. Only finished work at 4.30pm today, toughest day so far. Doesn't help that it's been ... read more

Finally decided to use the internet! Nothing new really, work's going well, got tomorrow and thursday free! About time I got a lie-in!! 5.45am is waayyyy too early for my liking. Staff are all really nice and made some good friends. Really hot here, so after we've finished work at 3.30pm we go for a refreshing swim in the lake. Can't get much better than that. :) Can't upload photos on here at the mo but they are on facebook. Can't think of anything else to write, so that's all folks xx ... read more


Had my first day at work today! Had to get up at the unearthly hour of 5.45am to be at work for 6.30am and as expected it was a major rush haha. Lovely fresh morning with mist everywhere. Not often I get to see such nice views as I'm usually still safely tucked up in bed! Got kitted out in some very attractive cleaner's gear (or not) and got to work. Was working with the head cleaner and a girl from Croatia who had been there for 4 months and had another month left. Cleaned all the basement area e.g loos (men's included! that was interesting) and spa/pool area. Breakfast was at 8am together with all the staff outside on the veranda looking out onto the lake watching the sun come up. At 9am I went ... read more


Second full day...had a meeting at 11am this morning with the hotel manager to introduce myself. They've been a bit busy with 3 members of staff off ill and the peak season starting this week so I'll be kept busy! He said to come back at 4pm to discuss the details. The staff apartment where I was supposed to be living is full so Thursday and Friday night I'll be in one of the guest apartments and then on Friday he'll show me a flat he's rented for me in town as a back-up. I then have to decide whether i went to live in town and cycle/walk to work each day or move into the staff apartment. For the first 4-5 weeks I'll be with the housekeeping team learning the ropes, getting to know the ... read more


Soooo I'm in Germany! Arrived yesterday after 12 hours in the car, luckily I slept for most of it. Staying in a hotel just down the road from where I'll be working, i'll move into my accommodation tomorrow hopefully. Busy, busy day today: registered with the local authorities and got a postal address (if you want it, just ask, i'd love to get some post!) Got my work permit and opened a bank account. So all in all a successful day. Popped into the hotel where I'll be working to let them know I'm here and they gave me my room key. Took a while to find but the owner showed me and I couldn't quite believe what i saw.....it was a proper apartment, with a double room, poshest bathroom I've ever seen and a spare ... read more
