In Salzburg at the moment.

I think of all these interesting thoughts for my blog through the course of the day and then when I sit down to write them they have completely gone. Must be this heat. I am such a baby.

Yesterday I went to the largest ice caves in the world. They were absolutely amazing. I suggest you all go out and google them. Really. But first read my blog. We hiked in 1 km of the ice, but there was another 42 more. It was so much bigger than I had imagined it to be, and inside they dont have anything artificially lit up. Every fifth person carries an old fashioned lamp, and then when the guide is speaking he lites magnesium strips. It was just magnificant. And nice and cold. One American joker in a group I had been travelling with decided he would wear only his shorts and t-shirt (and its 0 degrees).

I've met a lot of people here in the hostel I am staying in. It has been nice after a few antisocial hostels. Went out drinking both nights (oohh ahh). My first night with a bunch of Irish girls, which was grand because they know how to drink. Its been nice to be more social.

Oh I havnt mentioned my time in Isny. I was supposed to visit some old family friends that I had never met in this tiny town in Germany. It was my birthday and I didnt feel like going really, and then I was subjected to a day of horrible train delays and cancellations. So I was pretty pissed by the time I got there. However, since they run and own their own hotel, I got to stay in my very own room, with my very own bathroom! Plus the father is a famous chef in that area so I ate some really amaying food. Totally worth it. Funny how things turn out that way. Plus the town itself was amazing.

Sorry for the disjointed update. Just so you all know, I shall now be gracing Guelph with my presence on August 12th. Mark your calendars everyone!!!
