Blam!

@ 02:36 PM (38 months, 18 days ago)

Well I made it home...
but going back to Vienna first... - it was very beautiful. I wandered the streets (all very nice), had a tram ride, went to the Natural History Museum (meant to be in the world's top 10 of museums - and it was very good!) and visited the Summer Palace which was brilliant - it had mazes and labarynths with little activities for you to do in them. And then my couple of days in the UK went by very quickly - packing etc. Had a Sunday lunch with both Uncle and Aunts, as well as Karen, which was nice... Then on my last day did a final walk thru the woods and fields with Auntie Christine, Uncle Greg and Richard... - picked some blackberries as well - very tasty!
Had a bit too much luggage at the airport... plus they have all these restrictions on your hand luggage which didnt make it any easier. Luckily Auntie Christine and Uncle Greg were there for me to pass stuff onto for it to be sent later on. They allowed me 7kgs extra, a cabin bag that had to be squished and molded to be able to fit into their little dimension tester, and 3 coats/jackets that I carried on board! 
Flight wasnt too bad - no good films tho. And now back at home and the tiredness has just set in... Only 6hrs til bed time (not sure I will last).
Have put a couple of piccies up... so hard to decide which ones to put here and there are plenty to choose from!
Anyway I'll sign off now. Thanks for caring and checking up on what I was up to the past 9 months :)
Cheerio!

Vienna

@ 05:11 AM (38 months, 23 days ago)

hey!  Made it to Vienna - my last long distance train ride for a while :(  So I made sure I enjoyed the journey - it usually is the best part of it all - the challenge of figuring out their system and buying the ticket, the scenery, the people you meet etc...
Of course it is raining again... and it has turned a bit chilly - good time for heading home! But Vienna is a nice city - did a bit of a walk around... Wont say it is as nice as Prague but it does have some good buildings etc... Will get to see a bit more of it tomorrow... and probably will try and go to Bratislava for a few hrs (only an hour away on the train)...  Well this could be my last blog from o/seas (apart from a final one from the UK perhaps...) the end of my travelling adventures... - til the next time anyway ;)
