It has been about a week since the flood experience, though it feels substantially longer. In that time I've managed to stumble my way through four countries and seem to have survived it unscathed.
After leaving Interlaken I traveled to Grindelwald at the base of the Eiger. The clouds finally broke allowing for a gental stroll the gradually turned in to seven hour round trip hike to Kleine Scheidegg almost a mile higher than where I started. My legs suffered for the next two days, but the views were well worth it.
After Grindelwald I took a long train to Venice, which is very beautiful and so forth. It's also a maddening maze of narrow unnamed streets. I would probably have gotten lost without my astounding sense of direction that automatically took me in a circle back to my hostel even though that not where I was trying to go (Autopilot).
Then I took the really long train to Vienna, where I ate Wiener Schnitzel. Aside from gastronomical pursuits I visited the Kustgeschichte Museum, which was amazing. The Egyptian, Greek, and Roman exhibits were especially interesting.
Danach I hopped over to Prague, where the man at the reception desk had a good laugh apparently because Peter Novotny is a famous Czech movie star. I assured him that I was Peter Novotney and not Peter Novotny.
Now I'm in Berlin and tired of writing.
Goodnight.
