In addition to our little suburb tours (and buying things for the flat), we finally went to see Portofino on Sunday. Portofino is listed in the Wonders of the World List, so we expected it to be of the same calibre as the Eifel Tower or the Sistine Chapel. Well, it isnt. It is a very cute town and it is very pretty, but that is really just it. I have seen many other cute villages that were about equally cute and cuddly, but that are nowhere near the top 100 Wonders of the World (mind you, it is only number 100). However, the trip was pleasant, we got to see the sea and had a nice little swim. So it was totally worth sitting in the train for 6 hours (in total). And we got a few little photo opportunities.
Today, we decided that our holiday period was over. I went back to Uni to work (and I resubmitted my paper about Latvia!!! Woohoooo) and Fedor came along to make preparations for his job search. He sent out another 15 applications or so and has a list of hotels to go and see. So that will hopefully pay off some time soon!
Ciao,
OJ

Tja, wat had je anders verwacht? Zong Brigitte Kaandorp immers niet:
't Is niet met een jacht in Portofino
't Is niet met champagne bij een haard
't Is niet met een Griek of een Latino
't Is niet met een prins of met een paard
Het is met z'n sokken in je wasmand
Met z'n hemden aan je lijn
't Is met z'n strepen in je pleepot
Die ook niet meer weg te krijgen zijn
Maar ook met ontbijt op zondagmorgen
Als 'ie roerei voor je maakt
Of als 'ie met een rare muts op
Op je bed springt, poedelnaakt
Hey darling,
good to hear that moving and everything went fine so far! I now have to get used to living on my own again...*snif*..., but my job is cool and so is Düsseldorf!!
Big hug,
FRAU
