It is 3:45pm local time and I am exhausted. Made it to Vienna early...got the luggage, got my train and the underground...got a lil lost walking the two blocks to the apartment. blah.
In my defense, today is the Vienna Marathon and this place is a nuthouse. Well, it was actually winding down when I got here but the foot traffic was crazy. It had been raining and it was chilly and damp but I was sweating my butt off hauling my luggage through the lovely streets of Vienna. Really can't wait to try out the new camera.
Then, I had to take a cash advance on the credit card cuz my bank wouldn't let me withdraw the full amount I needed to pay for the rental..urgh.
They let me pay most of it and I should be able to get more cash tomorrow I am beat and my head feels like a box of snotty marbles. Grocery stores are closed here on Sundays and I swear I would have sobbed like a baby if the landlords didn't have teabags in the room. Good ole black Lipton tea...I might cry anyway.
Everything is put away and I took a hot shower. Man, did I feel gross. Apartment is cool, bigger than the London one last year and has a typical European bathroom setup...separate toilet room. Toilet room on far side of kitchen, so I have to walk through the kitchen to get to it and I will probably be washing hands in the kitchen the whole time.
Good shower, hot and decent water pressure. Lovely tub and I will have to take a bath this week. I flooded the floor a little because of the ridiculous folding door contraption thingie.
One thing I am totally beginning to realize...my German REALLY sucks. I can't understand anybody and I know they are speaking proper German...I recognize that much. I will practice when I get home!
OK tired...going to bed at 4pm...don't care. Need to fight ick.
