Living out of a backpack!

It has now been 80 days since I have not had to live out of a rectangular shaped box! At first I thought it was really fun and I would take great care in making sure everything was anally packed to precision! After your third move, when you have woken up with a stinging hangover, 5 minutes to pack and your stuff is everywhere you become very skilled at the chuck and squish method!

Even worse than the packing process is the carrying and lugging the bags around bit! Especially when every move you seem to accumulate more and more bags! We arrived in Vienna yesterday and it was such a relief to be on Busabout where they pack your bags on a bus, you do not have to worry about getting to a train station and then finding a bus that leaves in 2 minutes so you have to bolt with all your luggage looking like an obese snail, only to miss the bus and have to stand in the swealtering heat, sweat dripping down your face while you still carry those damn houses on your back!

It is so awesome having Busabout just take all the hassle out of organising and just taking you to all the places, giving you background on the history of the town and all the places to see, so that you do not waste your time and go through the agony of having to carry those damn backpacks!

I already feel like a weights been lifted off my shoulders (quite literally)! Looking forward to Tuesday where I yet again get to repack that lovely bag of mine and off venture off to Salzburg on the bus!
