Holidays

I spent the last week in Germany and Austria visiting Mona. It was great fun but now I'm back at work (at a new job) and struggling...

Highlights of the week (in no particular order)

• Having a drive on the wrong side of the road in Germany
• Driving on the autobahn, where there is no speed limit
• Spending two days in Salzburg in Austria
• Taking a tour of 'Festung HohenSalzburg' (Salzburg Fortress) which sits on top of a hill in the middle of the city. The views of the surronding mountains were awesome and the museum was pretty interesting. One exhibit was a chastity belt which had some very painful looking spikes on it
• The Austrian beerhall where we spent a fun afternoon drinking steins and Mona pretending that she couldn't speak German with the waiters
• Getting surprised with two tickets to go and see Bayern Munich play soccer
• Visiting a salt mine near Salzburg, particularly seeing the underground border between Germany and Austria
• Going to the aquarium at the Olympic park
• Not being at work
  

I've been sick this week, but because I want to save as much money as possible and I don't get sick pay I've been coming into work anyway. So I'll probably make half the office sick too...

Some tips for you:

• Australia to win their third world cup in a row
• St George Dragons to (finally) win the premiership this year!
