On the 19th we said
goodbye to our Argentinean friends in Tagmersheim and took the train back to
Munich. We arrived there around 10P.M. and decided to have a bite near the
train station. We bought a kebab, because we could AND because we wanted to try
the Munich kebab. Sebastian, my German roommate in France, told us afterwards
that kebab was originally invented by a Turkish guy in the seventies. People,
be aware, one tip: do not ever eat kebab in Germany. Unlike in Belgium, where
you can get around 10 different sauces on your kebab, here you will only get
yoghurt sauce. (Dafuq?). Discusting as it was, we ate it anyway and headed to
Sebastian’s apartment once more to rest out for the next part of EEET2012.

| Where the F are we and what the F are we doing here? |
Day 18 was Austria-day. As we had
failed to visit Brno in the Czech Republic we decided to go to Salzburg,
Austria, instead as to ensure that we would visit 5 countries during our trip.
We got up at 6.15A.M. (see mom, I can
get up way too early as well!) and took the 7.30 train from Munich – Salzburg. Once
there, around 9A.M.-ish we put our bags in the lockers near the trains station.
–Seriously people: if you have lockers and people can only pay with coins and
none of the three closest bars/restaurant ‘have/want’ to change a note for
coins, you should do something about it!- and hit the city centre.

| Mozart and stuff |
Around 11 we met up with Julia, one
of my classmates from back in the days of AFS Trimester Program in Steyr,
Austria! She had gone on AFS to the US and fell in love with the country. Toon
and me were hoping she would show us the city, but she knew as little about
Mozart’s birthplace as we did. That’s why at around noon we had figured out
that we had seen everything of the city and we went to the park where ‘The Sound Of Music’ was filmed and had lunch. After some more walking around we
decided to head back to the train station to maybe take an earlier train to
Ljubljana, as this was our next stop on EEET2012. We said goodbye to Julia and
headed back to the train station.
Unfortunately we were not able to
change our travelling times, so we decided to stay in the McDonald’s next to
the train station for 2hrs before we could set off to Ljubljana. To be able to
get there we needed to change trains in Villach, Austria. On the way to Villach
we were in a train full of Austrian festival-go-ers. Was nice to see that the
festivalvibe is so strong in other countries too. But they were not going to a
festival! They were all heading to ‘Grand Slam’ or something. Basically they
would watch beach volleyball all day and drink while watching it. Not Bad I would say.
Once in Villach, and a few beers
(and vodkashots given to us by these Austrians, who were almost forcing us to
join them, but we didn’t) later, we got off. We decided to buy some more beers
for ‘on the way’ and installed ourselves for another 2hours to Ljubljana. We
were joined by a dutch couple and around 9P.M. we arrived at the Slovenian
capital. What we did here will be for the next post!
peace out_
