oh gawd, i am feeling so completely worn out, my foot's been hurting for days now and im walking with a limp, but you know what, it's OK...I've arrived at my 'rest house'.

So i traveled from Prague with eurolines up north, crossed the border, through some snow-patched area and mountains, and got in to the german city of Dresden. Great city, a capital of Saxony, lotsa nice sights, and altogether a very proper and well-planned township. Spent the night at Quentin's, a french scientist, and we chilled out at a local diner, relaxing ambience and captivating music.

from then on i decided to boycott germanrail if i could help it, the fare is unreasonably high and spending money aint exactly a priority in my list just now. So i hooked up with some locals and we shared a ride to leipzig, a sister city of dresden.

i met up with friedemann and sebastian in this city and we had some good nights of partying and attending local musicians' jamming session. I also visited ThomasKirche, the church J.S. Bach was reciding during his time and we sat in for a Motette. Powerful repertoires by the choirs and sopranos with accompaniment by pipe organs, it was beautiful.

We also went on cycing trip through woods and lakes and wild parks, a breath of fresh air and to take in the subtle Spring smell. It's starting to turn green and buds are blossoming. 'It's a good sign', i told Ondra back in Brno. 'Hardly', he replied. ' Winter aint over yet and there shouldnt be signs of life at all!'. Good point. How nice of that guy who came up with the term 'global warming' so that we can all point fingers to.

moving on, i stopped by in Magdeburg and got another ride to my current pitstop in Hildeshime, giving a pleasant surprise to Chloe in the middle of the night, who wasnt expecting my visit at all. A good surprise. I think.

I should be resting here and try to rejuvenate for at least a week, and thereon Hamburg and to Poland where ive been invited to to spend Easter there. It should be nice spending easter in the village.

Been on FRIENDS marathon for few hours now, just taking a break to update my current location and wellbeing. I look forward to catching up with some favourite TV series for the next few days, damn, i miss American TV.

It's all good...
