ok.. heres to sum up whats been happening..
my 2nd visit to switzerland was echt cool ! much wine was drunk, good times were had.
was really sad to leave this time. the farewell marius and i had at the train station was like a scene from a movie..
after one of those teary farewell hugs i need to board the train, and stand in the doorway.. Little marius is crying and im unable to go hug him (heartbreaking it was) then the dors close and the train pulls away, and marius is walking along the platform waving me goodbye.... very sad. but i know he will be in sydney by xmas so we again nerv each other to death in no time.
then got to Cologne, and caught up with Paulo. Cologne was totally crazy.. was full of football fans, people everywhere, but strangely calm and peaceful.. no riots or aggession anywhere.. its like one big party.
spent hours chatting to Paulo, and befre we knew it, the sun was coming up.
the following day, did a quick tour of Cologne, seeing things i had not seen the last time i was there. (including the chocolate factory.. YUM!)
was 35 degrees... for those freezing their asses off back home in sydney.
Paulo is the man behind Kite FM, a web radio station, based in Europe.. mainly for Portugal i think, but listened to by thousands world wide. totally cool music. so we made a show, with me as a guest presenter from Kite FM Sydney. SO COOL!!!! so i got my 1 mins of fame coming up.
For those with Itunes, the podcast is called Kite FM and my show is due out in about 2 weeks. i have already heard the Promo... totally cool.. cant believe that me. actually was a bit hard to do all that in english for me. paulo and i had only spoken German...no english.. for over 24 hours...
actually that is the longest ime i had only spoken and heard german in my whole life.. and i was so impressed with myself.. that i understood all.. ok maybe a word or two out of the whoe 24 hours.. i hadnt actually realised i had done all this until i got on the train to leave... its funny how i havent realised just how much german i can actually speak now and am now able to listen to the tv and understand more and more..and speak to strangers in the stree and understand what they are saying.
anyway.. KITE FM is filled with totally cool sounds direct from europe.. fans of lounge, house, beach, and totally cool music should definately give it a go and subscribe to the podcast via itunes, and give it a listen. (and hey, especially within the next 2 weeks so you can catch my show) but i reckon you'll get addicted to the show. i know i will be.
it was a real shame that i couldnt stay longer in cologne as was having a great time there.. thanks to Paulo, and really wanted to spend more time there, but the train pass was gong to expire that ay and really trying to save some money. its going so fast.
was a huge thunderstorm enroute which caused power problems and we were stuck on the tracks for a while. didnt get to hamburg until 1am.. was soooooooooooo tired, since i had had so little sleep the night before. was very strange to be back in hamburg, actually felt liek i had gotten home from a holiday.
anyway..there, we are caught up. lots of little storys hidden away there but have t hae something to tell you all personally.
