hello out there!!!
i finally made it back to germany and to be more precise: to munich. last sunday my good friend miri and i headed off early in the morning from very sunny and hot london. we got this small fiat punto or something which was filled up until the roof with all our stuff...
we had a quick drive to dover and a easy and very nice ferry journey over the channel. from calais we went straight into france and took the wrong way to end up in brussels two hours later. beforehand our plan was to drive via strasbourg but we thought about visiting brussels anyway, so we took a long break there. we didn't know what to expect and so we just loved it as we arrived in the old part of the city, where one can find lovely old houses, slightly run-down sometimes but with a lot of heart and culture to it. another thing you've got a lot there is turkish shops and restaurants. actually there were so many turkish shops, bars, cafés and restaurants that we decided to rename the town. now it's called "BRÜSSÜL".
after having some food and astroll through this very pittoresque town we got in our 60 to 80° celsius hot car and drove off. we crossed belgium and holland in a couple of hours and finally entered good old german soil at aachen around ninish in the evening. i wanted to drive directly to munich but luckily miri convinced me to stay somewhere over night and so we found this great youth hostel set in an old castle high above koblenz with a great view over the two rivers meeting there (rhine and mosel).
after a short night we had to get on the road again as soon as possible as we had to avoid the heat. and after six hours of driving through god knows how many german states we were back where it all started from (my life, my year abroad,...): MUNICH.
and today (after two days of time to adapt to germany and the cultural shock being back brings with itself) i have to say that i love being back. it's summer, it's hot, i already saw loads of people i haven't seen in ages and i've been swimming and drinking good bavarian beer and so on. am in augsburg at the moment to check all my uni stuff and dates and meet all my good mates here and i'm really enjoying that too...
puh, that was a lot going on for me the last few days. i'm in a hilariously good mood and quite euphoric at the moment and now i'll stop this update as this bloody "cip-pool" is too hot, so i've got to get out and about now.

Hi Flo!
(and everybody reading it)
I am happy you are safe back in Germany and that the trip was quite enjoyable. Brigton is really hot now, but I think you have enough heat there in Munich :) Have a great summer!!!! Can you post pictures in the blog? It´d be lovely to see some of Brussels.
Good to hear from you. I am glad it is so nice over there in good old Germany. Hearing so positive things makes me looking forward to it as well. It is wonderful in Brighton at the moment, real summer. Went swimming, unfortunately without you ;-)
Take care and see you very soon in mid of July.
Bonjour!!!
so, glad to be back, eh!
That's good... your trip back seems to have been cool apart from the "60 to 80 degrees celsius" in the car!!! Here it's nice as well, as Marivi already said,but since I "lobsterized" last sunday on the beach,I still cannot sunbathe-or with a t-shirt(a bit pointless and unsexy)... well welll well, have a nice time, and remember we miss you here!!!
