Ultra condensed update - Mise à jour presto rapido
Aug 7, 2005
Schloss Shunbrunn (Vienne)
Budapest
With Katie and Sheryl at Charles de Gaulle
Donc une petite mise à jour rapide parce que j'ai été un peu négligente...
We left Berlin and headed to Prague for 3 days. PRague is great...the city is beautiful and the food is good and when you get away from the crowds of Japanese tourists snapping pics you can actually enjoy the city.
From there I headed out on my own to Vienna for 2 days. Where I stayed in what i'm convinced was an illegal hostel...word to the wise:don't book hostels when the e-mail address is a hotmail one. The city is beautiful but unfortunately alot of the buildings were being renovated/restored so I dind't get to see much.
Then I went to Budapest where it was at least 38 every day. So i split my time between seeing the sights and going to the baths. Where i worked on my tan and played in the water.
From there I headed back to Arras....23 hours on the train later I arrived. And have been hanging ot since then.
Don't think i've been bored though...some friends (Katie and Dave) who I worked with last year were in town so hung out with them and Sheryl (another friend from work last summer) came through Paris on her way to Britanny so Katie and I surprised her at the airport and visited with her while she waited for her train. It was so great to see her again. And as if that wasn't enough to be keeping i've been busy on the phone with the people at Visa cause it seems that i've been a victim of credit card fraud...joy of joys!
NOt being able to stay in one place too long alison and i spent friday and saturday in London. We just hung out and went to see a show. It was good....
And so that brings me to today...Sunday. My last day off for a while cause work starts TOMORROW!!!!!!! ARGH! i was really enjoying being a woman of leisure but tomorrow that'll all be over when training starts.
SHould make for some interesting stories for my next posting!
