Getting comfortable

Third day in Freiburg, and I'm definitely starting to feel a bit more at home. Taking the tram is easy now, and finding places a lot less difficult.  I'm also slowly starting to get used to the money, which is good.  Freiburg really is a beautiful city.  We went to the Seepark by the lake today - it was such a nice day, and there were people swimming and sun bathing.  It also has random stuff like a small vineyard in the middle of the city!  Really need to remember to get a photo of that at some point.

Started classes today too.  After a minor hiccup of accidentally going to the wrong class, it was good.  Although I'm hoping its only cos it was the first lesson that it felt so easy...  But we only had the morning classes today, next week we get down to the real business of seminars in the afternoon and hours in the language lab.  So definitely soaking up the free time we have at the moment.  

Tried some cherry yoghurt for brekkie this morning - it was pretty good, but such a strong cherry flavour!  I definitely couldn't finish the whole thing in one sitting.  Also, Jo, I bought some Kakao Express, which I believe is the German version of Suchard Express as it has Suchard above it and the packaging looks the same :) And I will have to buy and try some pineapple yoghurt - although maybe I should wait til I go to Italy for that?  One thing I am a bit hesitant to try is the Bananeweizen (at least I think that's what its called?).  From what I understand, its beer with banana juice in it....

Also went book shopping today - bought Der kleine Prinz and also Der kleine Hobbit.  Not sure why it's der kleine Hobbit and not just der Hobbit.  Also wanted to buy the Hunger Games, which is die Tribute von Panem in German, but they only had it in a big hardcover :( But now I have something constructive to do in my free time :)  

Anyway, this daily posting thing is probably not going to continue much longer.  Signed up today for a day trip to Elsass on Sunday - which was a struggle, as there are only limited places on the trips, so everyone was pushing to get to the front!  But yeah, that looks nice, just over the border in France.  And then tomorrow I'm heading off with a few new friends to Europa Park, which is just nearby - I think maybe a 1/2 hour on the train.  That looks awesome, its supposed to have really good rides, so yeah should be a pretty good time.  Only downside being we have to get up early to get there when it opens, cos its probably going to be pretty busy!  So will just chill with some people tonight and try and get an early night tonight, ready for an early start tomorrow morning!
