Augsburgers with fries


Have now moved from Tiinas fantastic apartment to the north of town. I am staying with a few Aussie paddlers and now I have finally managed to get some gear am so very very happy. The sun is shining here at the course this afternoon where we are taking advantage of the free wireless. Our accommodation is pretty basic but I have my own room and last night I slept in a bed for the first time since I've been over here ( I think maybe Tiinas couch was just as comfy but a bed's a bed)
Bought myself a bike today. Firstly before you get too worried its a safe childs bike. I went to the bike store with Leanne today who had to repair her bike and found this small secondhand bike for 40 Euro. I thought it looked to be a perfect size for me so I decided since we'll be getting around on bikes its pretty damn perfect. I went and asked the guy at the counter to buy it and his reply was "Thats a kids bike, it is too small". Yeah I dunno whether I should have been smug or embarrassed when I got on and its my perfect size. So now I have a much safer way to get to the course each day. Well safer than my previous biking experience.
So I am here now for two weeks before Erin arrives in Munich and we start our travels. I can't wait for her to get here! In the meantime I am making myself very tired training hard. I bypassed the second paddle today as my muscle are kind of hating me right now and I think I want to take an evening jog (ok more likely stroll). Hopefully we'll get some travels in while we are here too. There may be a few days in Oetz coming up. Its a possibility.
Anyway must be off. Little Internet time soo much to do! I'll try hard tomorrow to get some photos up. Cause whats the fun in blogging with just words??
