Greetings...

From Cologne!

Firstly I am not sure which fact is going to make you more jealous: the fact that I am:

1: in Koln (Cologne) Germany or
2: that I am typing is entry from my iPad!

I have been in Koln for 3 days now and I am having a blast (besides the fact that I have realized that I have even less sense of direction than I thought) I have been hopelessly lost dozens of times and I have literally worn holes in my shoes from all the walking, yet I am still loving it.

I have missed having my link to cyberworld! Especially Facebook and my friends on BBM. Now I am in a different hotel where my bosses will all be joining me so I have wifi (woo hoo)

This trip has not been without its troubles:

I flew to Cologne via Munich- on the connecting flight your baggage is supposed to be go to your final destination, but luckily I checked my baggage ticket because it said final stop was Munich.
Upon querying this in Munich I was told (very condescendingly) that my bag would be in Cologne waiting for me. When I argued I was eventually led to baggage claim- where my bag came rolling out!
Checked it in to Cologne and we were off

Arriving in Cologne I dropped my bag and started sightseeing - halfway through my camera battery died. That night, my Blackberry decided to follow suit and has since stopped letting me type the letter 'e'
I type an SMS to Tee which goes someone like this:
Hi thr having a gr8 tim. My abcd(this 1)fgh button dosnt work! Wish you wr hr!

At least I was able to charge my camera battery and I have some stunning photos which I can't wait to show you.

Our congress starts tomorrow, so I am not looking forward to getting back to work. I forgot how much fun this touristy thing is, I just adore sightseeing!

When I am back I will update you more with the diary entries I have been typing.
