I'm there

So,

Today was the day. Got up very early and dragged myself in the car at around 5 a.m. The road ahead was long (± 820 km) and took more than 9 hours to complete.

*yawn*


The trip took us through Belgium, Luxembourg, France and Switzerland and around 14h15 we finally arrived at the apartment (address: Mathias Jacobs-Anseeuw, Skyguide, Haldenstrasse 65a, 8602 Wangen; for those who want to write me a card)

My driver for the day.  Thanks dad.

When I finally arrived at the apartment, I stood waiting for a closed door, as Jennifer (the only woman in our company) had decided to go shopping at that precise moment. We went by my parents' hotel for the night before returning to the apartment, where we met Jennifer, Mike (Jen's husband who's leaving before we start the course) and Willem.

After picking the smallest room of 2 left, I unpacked the first of my 6 bags (those include my notebook, camera and keyboard bags) and went shopping for food and drinks. Soon after, I was again expected in the apartment where I was greeted by Leda (our Skyguide contact), Michael and Kristof. After giving us a thorough explanation of how we can get around the neighbourhood, Leda took Michael and Kristof to their apartment, located about a kilometer away.

We finished the day by eating a pizza, some mixed salad with a bit of cleaning product flavour (thank you, Jen), and some surfing the web.

Tomorrow we're planning to go sight seeing in Zurich, which promises to be fun.:-)


Again, if you have any remarks of questions: fire away.
