At least this is a properly labelled azerty keyboard, and apart from punctuation I'm almost getting used to it.

So since I last wrote I've been in many cities, making my way back from Budapest to Amsterdam. So a brief précis:

Vienna

Stayed in a nice place, with a garden people would play guitar in, and it was cheap. Wandered Wien for quite a while, but found it nothing special. After a while you just take beautiful cities for granted. Didn't spend time in cafés watching people.

Salzberg

Lovely little town in a lovely location. The castle had beautiful views, and I sat on a bench overlooking the town for absolutely ages. Staying at a nice place with a fun bar; ended up with some Irish and Canadians writing poetry in the bar into the early hours.

Munich

Nice place. Didn't end up seeing much, but I stumbled into some sort of clean energy or hippiness festival: lots of bongoes, and a couple of decent digiridooists.

Brussels

A bit of a head cold here. Didn't do so much. Wandered around blindly a little.

Brugge

Now this was nice. Spent quite a while walking around, and did touristy sight-seeing too. Some nice art, etc. Place I stayed had really nice food. Ended up playing cards into the early hours. Quite a laugh.

Antwerp

And so to the present. Just got here a couple of hours ago. I only meant to change trains here on the way to Rotterdam or somewhere, but I decided to stay on a whim. Seems nice.
