... seemed like a mixture of old cheese, incense, and curry. There is a full length mirror in front of me, and on seeing my reflection I thought &#8220;What am I doing here, and didn&#8217;t I book a non-smoking room?&#8221;<br><br>Maybe a little exaggeration, but you know what they say about first impressions - I was more than a little skeptical.<br><br>Graz actually turned out to be a pretty nice spot for a couple of days. The hotel, once I ...

... br>Warren's German includes phrases such as "Ich liebe dich" (I love you), "Danke" (Thank you), and... "Ich liebe meine gute Lederhosen" (I love my good leather pants)**... which he figured out how to say all on his own. <br><br>Overall our time in Graz was so relaxing. We kind of just went around at a slow pace, and didn't feel like we needed to rush to see a bunch of touristy attractions (like in some other cities). But, we still did a ...

... the Kunsthaus Graz which apparently is referred to as the "friendly alien". It looked out of place for a really futuristic building to be in such an old area, but still neat to see all the same. <br><br>I had been wanting to try the roasted chestnuts for awhile as well so we grabbed some from the man selling them outside and ate them over the bridge-it was very chilly outside so the warm chestnuts were a perfect touch to the evening. We walked along ...

... just went down the pedestrian street a ways, and the hotel we would find there was just as nice. So we took his advice and ended up here, which is exactly as he described. The pedestrian street is long and full of interesting shops and restaurants, leading to the centre square. Our hotel is at the far end, where the pedestrian street meets the car-friendly roads. Just above us is a castle. It is illuminated with colourful lights at night.<br><br ...

... for me, as I'm a vegetarian), cheese, salads, yoghurt, coffee, tea, milk, juices, fruit, jam, nutella... really really good.<br> After breakfast we take a shower and wait for the rain stops. It never happens, so finally at midday we decide taking our useless umbrellas and go to do some sightseeing. It's not very convenient touring around carrying an umbrella, bags and the camera, but we have no choice if we want to see ...

... stationsplein naar de stad moesten komen. In Rdam heb je namelijk het NN-gebouw, in Graz staat een levensgrote berg met een klokkentoren midden in de stad. Handig om je aan te orienteren..<br><br>Ja, en wat zie je dan allemaal? Ten eerste veel kerken natuurlijk, allemaal van die sloveense dingen met koperen uien-koepeltjes bovenop ('Graz' is sloveens voor kasteel, volgens wiki..). Ow, en een berg. Die hebben we maar beklommen toen we nog fit waren, dan kan je ...

... of the Obvious. But the museums were nice, and I hadn't seen them on my first visit in 2001.<br><br><br><br><br>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, jo&#353; dva dana i letim za Madrid. Ne znam jesam li uzbu&#273;enija zbog letenja, zbog Madrida ili onog &#353;to me &#269;eka poslije - tri mjeseca putovanja BEZ IKOGA! Zna&#269;i bez ikakve odgovornosti prema drugim osobama, bez ikakvoga pritiska i s mozgom pu&#353;tenim na pa&#353;u :) <br><br>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 :) <br>

... rest stop- our usual meat and cheese on panini bread. We found our next stop at the town of Graz where we found a campsite just out of town on the tram route. This site was clean and well run and allowed us to do our laundry. Beside the camp was public pool which is the biggest pool we had ever seen. It had ducks on it and water features in the middle. We had a refreshing swim before it closed in the evening which is lucky we did as the weather turned cold the next day. We had ...

... which welcomes visitors as well as photography! I went to the parade with my buddy (Claudia's) mother and sister, Isabella. Not only did I witness some nifty horse manuvers, but I learned all about these pure bloods and their training, and met some of the horses, face to face! The Lipizzaner Stallions are normally a light grey/white color, either with black or brown flecks on their skin ...
