how much do I love vienna aiport? free wireless in the cafe, expensiive evian but have a bag filled with home-cooked goodies for lunch - cheese scones, my favourite filled puff pastries, ham/cheese/sausage rolls, home grown and baked walnuts ... live in hungarian slovakia is good!
excellent morning travel so far, 8am train to bratislava, connected with 10am to vienna, bus to airport pulled up just as I walked out of the station, and checked my baggage all the way through to bangkok without the baa attendant weighing even the checked in items. after all that work juggling books and cds and having andrea stand on the scales with each bag individually.
train ride from sturovo was beautiful, even the factory looked romantic in the morning sunlight, final snowfall yesterday evening - I promised to take winter away with me, and lose it in bangkok.
cried last night leaving gyuri and sofie's house - we had a lovely evening with sam and katah, changing of the bridge guard - they are into etching and lithography, so tommi showed the original 1600's etchings gyuri has - amazing. found myself a little jealous of all the experiences the new guards will have, their adventure is just starting.
but I've left the first nomadic pod in a friends attic, and promised everyone to come back in summer, so it is not goodbye but au revoir.
