It started snowing today, then it rained...so I thought I'd catch up on my blog & the WiFi wouldn't work for 24 hrs.
It came on again about 5pm today, so mow I am a happy camper again!
Did this following bit in Word to fill in time...so it's probably all over the place...
Went on the Sound of Music Tour around Salzburg & out to the Lakes & Mondsee where the S.O.M. wedding scene was filmed on Friday when I arrived here..
Wow, it was a beautiful day & lucky I went when I did, as the next day I needed to complete some photos that it was too dark to take on the tour & to-day it rained, snowed a bit & was not photo weather!
A bit peed off to-day tho, as I paid for an extra day here because they had WiFi & thought I’d catch up on my video loading & blog entries, but the WiFi is down & I’m not a happy camper at all!
Especially when I paid extra for a better hostel, which charges extra for breakfast, making it over 20 E a night & find a bunch of things wrong with it!
So, I’m going back to the cheaper ones at 10 Euro a night with reliable WiFi & FREE breakfasts!
I was so looking forwards to speaking with Peter on his 40th, but everyone had problems & one girl has to fly back to England as her Gran is seriously ill & she is having to use the internet at the hostel to book flights & train connections back to England. There is a line up, needless to say!
They gave me a free internet hour in lieu to-day & I sent a Face book message to Peter & then one to Sonia, hoping to get to Pete on time. Oh, well...it was not to be.
Remember Sarah, the English girl school teacher I first met in Vienna? Well...guess what?
I was sitting down here in the common room last night, as the dorm WiFi had packed it in, but this one was still Ok, when I heard my name called out.
It was Sarah! It was so fun to run into someone I knew in Europe! We hugged & girlie screamed & danced around like kids.
She is the one with the house in Penzance in England & she invited me to visit it to open it up & air it as she was to be away for 3 months.
Anyways it turns out that she has a full week off the very week I go to that part of England! So, I’ll be going down there for a night to visit her, needless to say.
The more I tour here, the more I love this mountainy, snowy part of Europe. We went out for brunch this morning & Sarah & I both admitted we could see ourselves living in this city.
It’s has only approx 150,000 people & is so easy to get around in. A cab from one end of town to the other is 7 euro!
