when in doubt, walk downhill...

Don't tell my mum, but I'm spending the night in the train station. In the company of my good friend Beth. We spent an extremely rainy afternoon relaxing at Beth's family's apartment. This following an extremely rainy morning in which I walked around with my pack on for three hours only to end up...back where I started. It's a long story and if you're looking for a good laugh you can ask me about it when I get home. I recently spent time in Cologne and Frankfurt and enjoyed both cities for very different reasons. Cologne has a spectacular Dom (cathedral) that somehow survived all bombings of the city during WWII. It also has a great chocolate museum that makes my stomach hurt just thinking about it. I went to Frankfurt the night before I flew to Norway and did absolutely nothing touristy, just lounged in the park in the 80+ degree heat and watched the world go by. Oslo was an interesting experience and slightly disappointing. I had heard great things about Norway and while the countryside surrounding it is beautiful, the city itself was quite uneventful. I did enjoy the National Gallery and the break from the warm weather of Europe. We are flying back to Frankfurt early tomorrow morning and from there making our way south to Interlaken, Switzerland where we are quite excited to paraglide! I have just two weeks remaining on the continent, and I must say I am more than excited about going home. Please continue to pray for safety as Beth and I travel together.
