up next

I was planning on going to another WWOOF farm in Tyrol after Vienna, but I have changed my mind and now plan to go to Prague. I had been planning on going there and my plans changed and now I'm changing them back again.

I have about 12 days left of my trip.

My tentative plans are to spend 3 nights in Prague (I go there tomorrow!)
3 nights in Berlin
and the last 4 nights in Munich!

I just looked at my flight info and realized I'll be arriving in Seattle on the 25th! not the 26th! For some reason I thought I lost a day during my travels, like I did on my way here. but since I'm going through time the other direction I reach the west coast the same day I leave Munich, but have to stay overnight in LA because the connection was not long enough for customs. Oh silly airlines. But oh well I get to hang out with Caroline for a night!

So now that you are up to date, I'm going to look into Hostels in Prague and Berlin.

Tonight we are going to a wine tasting at a beach bar in Vienna with Irene's cousin Isabella. It should be fun and a good way to wrap up my time in Vienna!

Graz - Austria

I took a 2.5 hr bus ride and then a 4 hour train ride (split between 3 trains!) to get to Graz. The woman in charge of WWOOF Austria, Hildegard, met me at the train station and I am staying at her house. She is very nice and we have been talking about everything. I think she enjoys sharing a meal with me and I do the dishes.

Now is the hard part. There is a list of over 1000 organic farm families in and around Austria. I need to choose 1 or 2 to visit and help out at for a week or so. The list is long and I don't know who to choose. She will help me pick a few to email. Hopefully I will find one to take me ASAP and head their way.

I am very interested in one farm that makes icecream! You know I love icecream! and I would also like to work on a vineyard. I like wine and would like to know more about how it is made!

I will let you know what I pick!
Tonight Hildegard will take me up the Mountain to see where she used to live in the Country. I don't know when I will leave here for a farm, but she doesn't seem to mind. :)

Bol, Brac

The next day I checked out of my hostel and took a ferry to the island of Brac. I thought I wanted to go to Supetan, but I decided to just hop on the bus to the other side of the island to Bol where they have windsurfing!
I had to go to the bathroom and wanted to find a room. I found one at the top of the hill and rushed in to use the bathroom.
Then I changed into my suit and headed to the beach. When I was almost there it started pouring! It rained so hard, everyone windsurfing came in and sat under cover. It rained so long everyone changed out of their wetsuits to go home. I sat and had a cubre libre.
When it stopped raining, I went to use the internet and joined a week long sailing tour of the croatian islands. It is for 18 to 35 year olds and a couple people from my hostel are going.
I decided to celebrate and had some seafood pasta and a glass of wine. The view in Bol is awesome.
It was so relaxing there, I loved it.
When I made it back to my room, I had a beautiful view from my deck, so I sat out there for a long time.
I could have stayed a few more days, but I had to go back to Split in the morning to catch the sailing tour.
Now I,m here in Split
