T-Minus One Week...
So it happened that Shane and Erika were in München. And it was good.
Tonight we will board a Nachtzug headed straight for Paris. At least, I hope it's straight there... I'd hate to have to wake up in the middle of the night and clear out to board some other train... I don't think they make you do that on the overnight ones though.
Amazingly, infinity plus one week apparently equals next Thursday, when our journey at last comes to an end. We will spend two more nights in Paris, and then four in London, and then that's all she wrote.
Yes, there is a heat wave here in Europe. It's nothing unbearable, and having no past summers in Europe to compare it to, it doesn't necessarily feel that odd. Also, since we are highly affluent people, while we have occasionally frequented hostels and the mass of beds crammed into one room which that entails, for the last four nights, we have at least had the pleasure of our own little hotel room. While not air conditioned, at least we didn't have to lay awake half the night listening to Jorg from Sweden snore out a lung. Budget traveling my ass.
Running out of time, so, bon voyage.
