Travel day

[nanila]

I have been in three countries and multiple forms of transport today.

Countries: UK, Germany, Austria (where I am now)
Forms of transport, in order of use:

• Taxi (30 minutes late + section of motorway shut == overly exciting journey at 4:30 AM)
  
• Plane (jet)
  
• Terminal shuttlebus
  
• Plane (twin prop)
  
• Bus
  
• Train
  
• Taxi

Twelve hours later, I'm sitting in a rather nice hotel in a small, picturesque village in the Tyrol. It was bright and sunny when I arrived and now the temperature has dropped 10 degrees and it's pissing it down. I am shattered, and I have to go to a meeting at 6 PM. Tomorrow, the 10-day Alpbach Space Summer School that I've come here to help with as an engineering tutor begins.

In conclusion, here is a picture of me and Beakle Bear (aka Humuhumu), because I miss her.

I'm sitting on the sofa in my hotel room with balcony door open. I watched the Alps disappear behind the clouds, and now the air (which was a bit heavy) is all fresh and cool with the rain. It is AMAZING.

She looks more and more like you as she gets older. <3

<3! Hopefully this means someday she'll be able to wear a hairstyle other than "mullet". :P

Eaglet looked bald until age 2 that stayed thin and wispy until grammar school. Blondness accentuated it. Now? Ton of thick, luxurious hair.

Gorgeous photo.

I did, thank you! Today was intense; am going to try and write it up before I crash out because I get the feeling I won't do it otherwise.

So cute together! Jealous about the trip.

Thank you! It is a stunning location. So far, not much time to explore/enjoy it, although I hope there will be a bit of leisure this weekend.

I hope you're feeling a bit more well-rested now.

Gorgeous photo!

Thank you, yes. I slept much better last night.
