That’s right. I’m on vaca­tion for a few days and I’m going to visit my friend Dave in Linz and after­wards I’ll stay with my par­ents for a while. That means that there are no updates to be found here. At least for a week, that is. Well, if I do have some spare time and access to an inter­net socket and if I hap­pen to come across some  inter­est­ing tid­bits – well, I guess I will have to write something.

That’s it. Have a nice time. I will make sure that I do :)

Last year my friend David and I decided to make a short trip to a Euro­pean coun­try any­time soon. On Fri­day, March 14, we finally went to the des­ti­na­tion of our choice: Krakow. Since he has already worked there for almost a year he knew what we were get­ting our­selves into. Any­way, we flew to Krakow and checked in at the hotel we had cho­sen in advance. Note to self: If there will be a next time, choose a hos­tel. The hotel was quite nice, really, although we decided to go for the cheap­est rooms avail­able. Cer­tainly not high stan­dard but then, all we really needed was a shower and a bed.

After hav­ing checked in we went strait to the main square were we had our­selves a late break­fast at 1400. This was the first time I ever vis­ited Poland and I found it to be really nice in Krakow. Most restau­rants have their premises under the earth so you almost always have to descend a stair­way. And man, they do like dec­o­ra­tion. Wher­ever we went, what­ever pub or restau­rant we chose to pay a visit – it’s almost impos­si­ble to find more than a few square feet of undec­o­rated wall. That cer­tainly adds to the under­ground style you are likely to encounter in quite a few East­ern Euro­pean countries.

Yeah. It’s been a long time since I last fell ill. It’s not a big deal – I just got myself a huge cold – but it still sucks. Nonethe­less, I’ll go and visit Hun­gary with my girl­friend. We plan on stay­ing there until Sun­day. I really hope it won’t get too cold and windy. If I don’t for­get my cam I may even post a few pho­tos of the Hun­gar­ian plains or so. Have a nice week­end everyone.
