Nervous, who said I was nervous? I jumped out of the van without my jumper. The only reason he did not take off was that I told him that someone had left their glasses behind. When he brought the glasses out he also came out with the jumper, phew. Then to the check in counter. I was planning in the whole backpack being stuffed into a big plastic bag routine. But no, I had to somehow stuff my sleeping bag into one of my bags, in the middle of the airport. I must have looked like I was for the world wrestling federation the way I was pounding that bag. Then I boarded the plane that was very full. The flight was, as you would expect very long, but that is the price we pay for living down under.
I landed at Vienna very early local time and whisked my way through customs and immigration, through the doors to my waiting Zuzana. We bundled ourselves in the car and headed for Czech. The weather far from what I expected of a European summer. Looked pretty much the same as it did in winter, only a little warmer. As we go through Slovakia on the way to Brno, we were stopped by the border guard and he had so have a look in my bag, why I don't know. But I was not about to argue with a man who had a gun strapped to his waist.
We got to the hotel at around 9 ish and the room was not ready yet. We had been dropped off at this penzion so we had to walk to the shopping centre that was about 10 minutes away. There is nothing like walking 15 minutes in the drizzle after taking 28 hours to get somewhere. We walked around and waited until the room was ready, had a coffee trying to stay alert. We got the call after a while and they even came and picked us up. After a nice long shower the rest of the day was dedicated to chilling out ; )
