STEBO'S BLOG

The Danube in the morning I was up bright and early, just cheese for breakfast as the ants had taken over everything else. My bread was now full of live ants. Check out was at 11:00, but I left at 10:30. Jugo 45 I made my way to the Riverside Café but stumbled upon Bar Dublin. Damn, I wish I had noticed that the previous day. I parked my heavy bags next to the bicycles, then waved to Alan and had three cappuccinos by the River Danube. I had to move my stubborn suitcase to the

Women and Men The day started with a quick breakfast at a café close by and writing the diary from which I transcribe this blog. I usually check my expenses over coffee. I realised that I spent 120 euros in bar Mačkon, but I did say "I will pay for everything," and they took it literally. There was nothing I could do, but a previous version of me would have been very upset with himself and everyone. At least we all had a good night. I even turned down the offer of drugs from

The local train in Venezia I was up bright and early and walked to the railway station to catch the first of 3 trains for that day. At 07:41, I caught a train which was earlier than my pre-booked ticket for Venezia. The inspector was not impressed, and I had to buy yet another ticket costing 5 euros. The station in Venezia It was worth it just to have that extra time, allowing me to get a cappuccino and a sandwich. It's "illegal" to drink cappuccino after 11:00, so I remarked

Prato della Valle After coffee it was onwards to Sant Antonio and Prato della Valle, it was

A proper cappuccino The lack of sleep and NO WORK meant that I slept like I hadn't slept in an entire year! I was wide awake at 06:00 but decided to turn over and snooze some more. Finally up and about, I went out and grabbed a cappuccino and a chocolate croissant before going for a walk. The old chemistry building on via Marzolo I wanted to find a bookshop, but as it was still early, most were still closed. I headed to the university area to revisit my old house and the chem

Austrian Scenery I cannot do the Innsbruck-Verona journey justice here, and my prayers were also answered. As we approached the Italian border, it suddenly cleared up. Just like previous visits, I remember the rail trip snaking downhill with walls of mountains on either side of the carriage. The train seemed to struggle, making metallic screeching and scraping sounds as it twisted along the track. The Alpine-style houses surrounded by apple trees gave way to Italian-style vil
