So this is only going to be pretty short.
Yesterday the three of us arrived in graz at about 4pm local time - bit gutting seeing as we began at 5am! We flew from Heathrow to Vienna - with a free upgrade to Club Europe thanks to Scott knowing someone who works at BA. So that entitled us to a free all you can eat breakfast buffet in the Club lounge + breakfast on the plane....Scott had like 3 helpings in all :P After the flight we took a coach across Vienna from the airport to the Sudbahnhof (south train station) and eventually managed to find the train, get all our luggage on (we don't pack lightly) and get given a timetable that told us that we were in fact on the right train as we weren't really sure what we were doing! We had to change trains to take another one to Graz but that all went pretty smoothly. The views from the train were so nice :)
Unfortunately we all packed for winter (or at least english summer as well ie. not hot) but it's absolutely boiling here in Austria!

Our flats are really cool - they were built last year and are really nice and modern. Each flat has four bedrooms and a communal kitchen/diner (but no oven!!!!) and a toilet and shower. Jeannine had at the last count two Finnish girls in her flat with her.....Scott has none....and I have none too!

We met some other exchange students though in the evening and went out for traditional autrian food....even though I ended up with goulash (which is hungarian!), we went for a walk up the Schlossberg which is really pretty but the climb up is horrendous! saw the Murinsel and the Kunsthaus and later we ended up in an irish bar with english menus which was pretty cool :)

What I've seen of Graz so far is really nice - it's not a huge town, quite like Chester in terms of size I think but there are so many lovely things there.

Considering I said this was going to be short - it isn't very but never mind!
