Greetings from Deutschland!!

Wow, at internet cafe here in Frankfurt Germany. weird keyboard- y is misplaced somewhere in exchange 4 z (theyre reversed).... recap so far:

Friday Night; flat x mas dinner with block A- 12 ppl then fruity xmas party- not so good- impossible to move.. bed at 3 or 330 am..

Wake up next day at 6am- finish packing, shower, almost forgot camera

730 am- arrive at stephs flat shes not ready so i make peanut butter sandwiches

823- oy were late.. lucky enough to catch cab with a girl named suzzane- supposed to go to bus station- or so we thought- had to rush over to train station to catchmegabus- made it in just the nick of time. steph had a heart attack..

9-130- megabus, so hot so uncomfortable...looong.. finallly arrive at victoria station, grab a map and head to Buckingham palace, sit, eat, watch tourists snap 50 million photos-beautiful sunset at 330 pm lol.. walked through st. james park, birds, more tourists, joggers...walked to big ben and decided to trek to london bridge with our backpacks and one suitcase on wheels- took us a lot longer than we thought- 2 or 3 hours.. but its the journey not the destination.... then had a coffee break at the train, took a train back to victoria station to find out theres a victoria greenline station when we re supposed to be at the victoria coach sttion... another close call..

we take bus to stanstead airport- looking for somewhere to sleep.. all the benches are taken by all these backpackers camping out all over the place at the airport- we settle for the heaters only i didnt know it was a heater till i was freezing for an hour because mine was broken- needless to say, did not sleep tooo well... but was quite the experience

woke up at 530 am checked in, got searched, got peanut butter taken away because i forgot it was in my backpack..oh well. i slept through take off until landing, woken up only by steph taking photos over me out the plane window of the pretty sunrise

arrive in frankfurt at 1030 am.... need to get to central bus station- hauptenhauf- 12 euro coach ride- its actuallz an hour and a half away! ryanair flight was soo cheap because it was in the middle of nowhere#!!! it turns out it wasn#t even the central airport we arrived at

nap on bus, get to train station- reserve seats for berlin, brussels, activate eurail pass!! walked through citz, saw goethe statue, giant euro monument in the middle of the city- verz random----- we#re in the stay and learn hostel- reallz really nice place... went to the xmas market tonight- the whole citz is literallz turned into a giant xmas market- had bratworst, roasted chesnuts, went on merrz go round (an accident hahaha).. ate a giant pretzel- saw a kid eat one- it was bigger than him, and of course, a coffee break at starbucks!! soooo nice here! more walking around to do tomorrow!! will have to go, sorrz for fragmented entry.. hope its readable.... danke to u for reading!! xoxo
