Pension Seirer Styria

... stairs behind me and decided to take the risk, no way I wanted to tackle those stairs with my bag and I wasn’t feeling particularly well. I thought “At least if I get stuck, I can nap until someone sets me free.” I fantasized about snoozing in the elevator, head on my bag, and snapped to as the door began to close... on me.


Got to my room. Opened the door and was greeted with a stench of cigarettes, and something ...

... From the resting station Fürstenfeld, i found a 19-year old BMW driver, who was glad to drive around in nowhere, and offered me to bring me home..

So, here i am. I arrived at home, Fürstenfeld on Tuesday the 4th on 8pm. 4 weeks of travelling; It was a great experience at it won´t be the last time i was hitchhiking.

Cu in Maastricht, from the 23rd of August :)))

... br>I'm afraid river Mur is gonna overflow; the water level is very high and the current flows violently. I'm recording it with my camera and, suddenly, I see some guys surfing on the river! wow!! Actually there are reckless people in the world... but it's funny!
At night we go back to the hostel and spend another "exciting" night playing table-games *cough*
Neptune must be laughing his head off...

Graz, Styria, Austria chinaski

... met onze vervolgen op onze fanasy-boeken en wederzijdse afleidmaneuvres. In de trein zat, om het ons nog gezelliger te maken, een jenkende peuter/kleuter/babyding. Fijn.

Ondanks de spatjes onderweg was het in Graz warm. Gloedjewarm! Maar wel heerlijk dus om een beetje rond te slenteren en vooral veel uit te rusten en terrasjes te pakken. Ik had om 7u smorgens uitgebreid google-research gedaan (ik kon niet slapen..) dus ik wist precies hoe we van ...

hey out there!

now what a amazin day!
i finally arrived in zagreb, but it wasnot the best day for hitchhiking. It took me about 7 hours to make my way from ilz to zagreb.. started at 10:15 and arrived at around 17:00 in the cetre.
The first lift has been a romania truck diver who dropped me at resting staation arnwiesen, from there i had to wait about 90 minutes for my next lift. BUT: this lift was best ever ...

... about my equipment:

First of all, i don´t have a tent with me, but a hammock with mosquito-net, if it´s not raining sleeping outside shouldn´t be a problem. Sleeping back and thermo-air-matrace are included for sure. Gas-cooker and a pot, poncho some elektrolytes and vitamins and the usual stuff (headlamp, aircushion, knife, carabiner, moneycat etc);

some special stuff i ordered from globetrotter.de:
+ vacuum ...

... of the Obvious. But the museums were nice, and I hadn't seen them on my first visit in 2001.




I stayed with Nathan's friend Christine, the first time I have stayed with a friend-- in a real residence-- since I left home. Walking into an apartment with pictures and a coat rack and signs of people living there for more than, say, 4 days was honestly jarring. It is a totally different world than my current backpacker life. But I have ...

Evo ga, još dva dana i letim za Madrid. Ne znam jesam li uzbuđenija zbog letenja, zbog Madrida ili onog što me čeka poslije - tri mjeseca putovanja BEZ IKOGA! Znači bez ikakve odgovornosti prema drugim osobama, bez ikakvoga pritiska i s mozgom puštenim na pašu :)

So, two days more and I am flying to Madrid. I dont know if I'm more excited about the flying (high ;D), because of Madrid or the fact that I will travel all by myself :)

... usual pasta dinner using my one burner gas burner and strung our washing out to dry.

Thursday 4th June. We headed into Graz to check out the sights including the castle on the hill which we went up to via the funicular train up the side of the cliff. The views were great from the top and the castle was interesting but was really only the buildings as very little was on display to nee but the gardens were lovely and the 13th century clocktower impressive. This castle ...

... would wait for us all, which it did. Mind you, Verona airport was closed at least once as we made our way down, but luckily before we could redirect the coach towards Vienna, it was reopened. When we did get on the plane we had to wait half an hour for a go on the de-icing machine and then another half an hour to actually de-ice. One place I would like to explore properly is Vienna, so I hope its not too long before I get back to Austria again.
