NEUERBURG - back

GERMANY

Whew.

So below you have an account of everywhere worth mentioning that I've been in the last 10 days or so. I was actually in Belgium for a bit as my train went through Brussels on the way to 'Dam, but shit all happened so I left it out.

It took 7 hours to get from Aachen to Neuerburg, on 3 trains, 2 buses, and a minivan because the bus only runs during term time. It cost €50 to do 62 miles. This place is hard to reach. But, I'm quite proud and surprised because it all went so well, all things considered. And all my clothes have been washed, because by the last day in Aachen I smelt like a homeless guy in a brewery. A brewery attached to a coffee shop.

I also tried, for the first time, the little kebab shop here in Neuerburg, the only one of our three food outlets that I haven't tried yet. It was pretty awesome. Then I went to Rewe and bought milk, on a short trip thats seriously tempting me to make a video of myself walking round Neuerburg at 6.30pm. You won't believe how quiet it is here, or appreciate how small the town is until you actually see it.

Its also bloody cold here. Not in a windy way like Holland was, or rainy like Aachen. Just damn cold.
