      I think I shall escape in the next day or so and go watch the Tour de France in person, rather than over the net.

During the summer it is pretty damn hot here so I can get up, slowly, go into town, sit in a cafe in the centre drinking Eis Cafe watching all the pretty girls go by then off to the Biergarten. Why sit on a beach or look at all the touristy things with loads of other people the same as you?
        Wow - they pay you for that? Those crazy Germans.
        Bored.
