Austria: Day 1

Ugh, getting to this country has been a nightmare! I had to take a bus to the Aarhus airport, and I missed the bus from my house to downtown to take the Flybus, so I had to take a cab to get there, and then I figured out I could have gotten the bus at a different point and made it without the expensive cab. I was quite angry. Then I flew to London, where I had to spend the night. I couldn't sleep, I was bored out of my mind but still tired. I finally got to Austria, where I had to take a bus then a tram then walk before I finally got to my hotel. It has a bathtub!!!!! I haven't seen a bathtub since I came to Europe. Oh man, I've got plans for that baby! I checked in, exhausted, and took a nap. Then I went out that night with Martin and Beate. Martin is an Austrian friend of Kyle's who lives in Graz and Beate is his girlfriend. They were both so nice to me! We went up on the Schlossberg, a large hill in the middle of Graz. You can see all over the city from there. It used to be a fort, but Napoleon had almost everything up there torn down, so they planted trees all over it and made paths and now it's beautiful. It's very nice, a piece of nature in the middle of the city. The paths and trees and things are great, and the view is spectacular. After hanging out on the Schlossberg for awhile, we went to the Stadtpark. It's the city's major park, and there's a bar in the middle of it that we hung out at for awhile. It was packed because tomorrow is a holiday, so I got to meet several of Martin & Beate's friends. We just sat on the grass of hill overlooking a nice little pond and chatted until about 2, when I walked back to my hotel. I got döner on the way home, and it was soooo good! I'd missed it since Berlin.
