Hallo aus Deutschland!

After a horrifically early start and a long day of attempting to lift two suitcases without falling over (a success, although only just...), I have safely arrived in the beautiful but chilly Germany! My day began at Heathrow Airport and consisted of a short flight to Frankfurt Main airport followed by a shuttle bus to Heidelberg, before finally being collected from the bus stop and reaching my destination and home for the next six months, Neckargemünd.


There was lots of snow visible as I flew over Europe, but so far it has not made it as far as us luckily. It did make for a lovely view out of the plane window when we were low enough to escape the clouds though.

Having only been here a few hours, I am yet to explore any of Neckargemünd, but these were a couple of pictures I took from outside my block of flats. I am literally a couple of minutes walk from where I will be working, which is nice and convenient, especially as work starts at 7:15am from Monday to Friday!

Finally, before I go to bed and get some much needed sleep, here is a picture of my room, although I'm afraid it's not stunning quality! My room is spacious and has a single bed, desk, wardrobe and chest of drawers, so I definitely can't complain. The rest of the flat is equally good, with a nice little kitchen and dining area, a bathroom and then two further bedrooms. It will take a while to settle in, but as I sit here typing and drinking a  cup of tea, it's already beginning to feel a little like home :)

Tschüs!
