Almost two weeks ago when I arrived, it was still winter here. And I mean it in the full sense of the word winter. When I arrived, as you can see in one of the previous posts, it was snowing. It was damn cold.

In the last couple of days, the weather has taken a complete turn. It’s spring. The people are walking around with unbuttoned coats, no more shawls or hats or gloves. And as the ultimate sign of the coming weather, the hotel where I’m staying at has put it’s large veranda off the restaurant into use. Here’s a photo of it from my room!

Jolly!

I woke up at 5AM this morning. It was cold and windy and I was really sleepy. After somewhat less than five hours of driving I arrived in Vienna.

It’s even colder than I thought it would be. Winds are buffeting things about and I feel like shit.

I’m going to my hotel now and I just hope that they have WiFi net access as promised. Grumble.
