well, iv spent 2 nights here at titisee and although it is stunning here, its been cold and grey which is a pity. the hostel is in a stunning location and it reminds me of what an american camp would look like in the summer. im sure in the summer time with loads of backpackers visiting the hostel it would be buzzing and a great atmosphere. there are lunch benches, table tennis and volleyball outside but its been to quiet and cold to stay outside for a long time though.
iv bought a very cool gorilla tripod for my camera so i can do some shots of myself with my timer which is great because iv been asking loads of strangers to take pics of myself and after a while i get kind of embarrassed really and pose like a stiff idiot!!
the hostel is stacked with more school children doing their school trips and very few backpackers. i was chatting to someone in the dorm yesterday and we both agree that when the children leave and the hostel is quiet, although it is very safe, it feels soooo eerie and really reminds us both of the movie "The Shining"!!!! i couldnt help thinking bout the movie and jack nicholson when i was trying to fall asleep the first night cos the hostel is set out in the forest area and it feels a bit too quiet for me! so im glad to be moving soon to the bigger cities for a bit more life! I have absolutely enjoyed it here and glad to have come, but also glad to know iv got more lively activities starting soon again.
oh yes, check out the comments on the pastry balls that i bought as well as the girl Jenny that i met in luxembourg but i have only just uploaded the photo of her and her absolutely minute backpack!! wow, that girl travels light!
i also checked out a stunning christmas market in a shop yesterday, german people seem to love the tiny tiny ornaments and there were seriously thousands of them in this shop! i also loved checking out the cuckoo clocks.
alrighty then...im off to lake constanz, meersburg for two days, and gonna stop at furstenburg brewery on the way = yay!!
PS thanks bob for all the comments and for reading the blog, and yes, that funky shower was in a hostel and it was in freiburg = super cool!
