17 July: on train Salzburg - Prague
So much to tell you. We have been offline for 24 hours now so I missed writing up our 16 July adventures which culminated in our catching the wrong #21 bus and yodeling our way up into the mountains 8 km out of Salzburg. The bus driver was astonished to find us still with him in the alpine forest and drove us back to town an hour later.
The Austrians are hilariously bad-tempered. We long for our beloved Irish. We have been shouted at for 3 days and one woman even stamped her foot at me as well as the shout. Most of their signs have exclamation marks after them and that's exactly how they communicate. However the taxi driver this morning commented on the rocks in our bags and charged us extra.
Will try to stay in touch when I get a connection
Fantastic that you can keep your sense of humour in the face of Teutonic grumpiness. Irish smiling eyes have a lot going for them indeed.
ReplyDeleteYou have me worried! When we get back from South Africa in October we will have an Austrian Rotary exchange student with us for three months. She sounds sweet on email.
