It's 14 of september. I believe that all trips starts in a confuse day, I think... This time my trip
started packing and, just after, one of my customers shoot me a last
minute problem. The result was that I didn't had time to have lunch,
I didn't finished what I was doing before and I had to call a taxi to
leave to me to get a bus to Garibaldi, where Sidnei lives with his
wife Daiane. I almost lost the bus duo the traffic, but I got It!
After arround one hours and a half I was at Sidnei's apartament, read
to go. After some time waiting for Sidnei's brother, he arrived and
leaved us to the airport in Porto Alegre. Here another 2 hours
driving... but the worst part was comming.
After do the check in at the airport (waiting for 2 hours for the
departure), I had a painful motion sickness during the flight... When
I arrived Rio de Janeiro to get our conection to Frankfurt, I was
bad. During the trip I started to get better, but what almost killed
me was the time. The flight between Rio de Janeiro and Frankfurt took
arround 11 hours and... It is a lot. In the middle of the flight my
legs were hurting a lot.
Anyway, We arrived Frankfurt and had to stay there during another
hour, waiting for our connection to Zurich. We got it and after arrive
Zurich We had to get 2 trains. I think that We loose the second train
because we arrived in a totally diferent time that what was wrote in
the tickets. Anyway, after be arround 24 hours jumping over cars,
planes and trains chairs, we really arrived, Alberschwende, in
Austria.
After met RA and Whit - from Burning Man - Jodok and Godefroid, We
went to a restaurant eat some cheese and ham (I was starving). So I
see that I really arrived. That is my first really long trip, but I'm
starting to see that met Python people that you only knows from
Internet is a very interesting experience. When you put everybody at
the same table, trying to talk in English, heheh... It is so
funny. Each people has a different pronunciation, but everybody is
understood. Really cool!
