Down in Down Under - Diary - 30/07/02

the journey starts

Finally I am sitting in the train going to Frankfurt. When I left Berlin, I've been on the verge of tears. But I think this was just because I won´t see my homecountry for a while. Considering this, I think it is just normal. On the other hand it is really exciting to think about the changes that happen in this time.
Fortunately my brother took a break at work to give me a lift to the train station. My backpack and my daypack have been a little bit more heavy than I expected (the daypack nearly as heavy as the backpack). My first idea to setup a pick-a-back-system would never have worked. Meanwhile I am nearly in Kassel. I have finally finished Bruce Chatwin's Songlines and don't have to carry it to Australia ;-) I already recognised some missing things. Let's see what I can arrange concerning this in Frankfurt. Meanwhile the sun is not shining anymore, kind of winter Sydney atmosphere. I think that they have summer down here in the south of Germany as well, you just don't recognise it when looking out of the air-conditioned train. Now it really starts raining. It seems that there is no whole week summer in Germany this year.
