Freiburg: a new flat and great holidays

am I dreaming of a better world??

I’m back from my one-week trip to Freiburg and there is, in fact, loads to tell as I already promised in the previous entry!

I’m so not used to experiencing many great things in such a short time any longer… and the result is that I don’t have a clue now where to start :-) ! I hope that it won’t end up in a great mess…

Okay dokay, one thing after the other. We took off from home at 3am on Saturday morning and arrived in Freiburg at about noon. My best friend Christine welcomed us with a great breakfast which we enjoyed so much. However, at some point it was time to get to work - working ourselves through the adverts in the papers to find a new home for me. I was really a bit scared that I won’t find anything suitable in that week. Anyway, we found some interesting things and I started to call the people (I so hate that…). And, believe it or not, I was kind of successful, I managed to arrange two viewings for that very Saturday. The first one was at 3pm and I was very curious. The advert sounded almost perfect: the flat is cheap, the room ‘huge’, it is close to the centre and university and it is also close to Christine’s place!
