Had a whole blog post written up on my ipod, but apparently get only wired internet in the hotel, so decided to start fresh rather than trying to transcribe it. I forgot how much easier it was to work on here. This reminds me that I've yet to post any trip photos. May possibly try to do that now, while I'm relatively stable during the conference.
Anyways, had a chll morning in Dusseldorf, mainly having breakfast, packing, and then trying to learn german off of youtube. Which went better than expected, so I atleast know enough to be polite, and also possibly ask for directions. Whether Ill be able to understand anything that people tell me is another question. Still, while not everyone speaks English, you can usually find someone to help you out when needed.
The trip down to Muenster was also pretty smooth, though the train was about 30minutes late. Still, train information people printed off the train schedule for me, so atleast I knew more or less where I was, and could estimate how far away Muenster was.
Currently in my room at the Treff Hotel Muenster. I really like it - it's all posh and modern, but still a part of the aldstadt. The room is massive. Also, don't know if this is true of all the rooms, but this one seems to be wheelchair accessible, one of the consequences of which are tonnes of floor space, and a washroom that's bigger than some hotel rooms I've stayed in. Our room has a view of a park aswell as a stabucks, which only makes me love this place more.
I wandered around the old town earlier, stopping by the cathedral and some of the other sights, and stopped at this cute bakery on the domplatz for a quiche - they serve them to go, on these little plates which was cute. Most things seem to be closed because its Sunday, so things were nice and quiet, though there were some tourists around the centre of the city. After some more wandering around, headed back towards the train station to grab some drinks, as only the shops around there seem to be open.
Will probably rest up for a bit, then head for an icecream or something, waiting for M to arrive from Frankfurt so we can have dinner.
