"so where are we going? We're not ready for drowning."

A bit lost

How can you feel as lucky as hell at the same time as feeling your life has been shat on from a great height?

a summary of the trip so far

Berlin - mad fun with great mates. Developed a huge obsession with the Berlin Wall
Prague - one big theme park, but I warmed to its quieter streets eventually. After all, I am a Blackpool girl who hates tourists...
Budapest - bigger than expected. Pissed it down first day which clouded my view of it. Literally.
Bratislava - loved it
Vienna - it meant nothing to me... well, not exactly. Just not enough time there. Enjoyed eating Wiener Schnitzel and drinking beer whilst watching the Manchester derby.
Ljubljana - just arrived. Let's see.

recurring themes:

not enough sleep
trains
rivers
views
bridges
camera, camera
too many tourists
ducking into quiet streets
losing myself - as opposed to getting lost

this charmed life

Okay. Here goes. After what has been the worst year of my life so far, I'm off to celebrate it being nearly over by spending some time in 9 different European cities in the space of 15 days. I've written lots of introductions to this potential blog over the last few months, none of which have happened. I'm going to try and not think too much and maybe sometimes it'll just be a few single words or phrases that sum things up rather than whole sentences, but it may mean a lot more that way. Berlin tomorrow. Bed now.
