Abandoned In Austria

Well... I DO feel kinda that way.

Now i´m travelling solo, and cutting my trip back by 2 weeks. Details of my flights:

Frankfurt - Bangkok
29 June TG 923

Bangkok - Singapore
30 June TG 411

will probably touch down 2-3pm SG time.

What happened? I´m not too sure also, coz it all happened so fast. Let me try to recall here...

Yesterday in Zagreb, after signing off from blogger, I went to meet zo and jo for dinner. There zo didn´t know how to tell me but told me anyway, she wanted to go home. For those who dunno, Jo´s flight is today. I asked zo if she had decided, and she said yes. She said she missed home, her bf, tired of travelling, mum is sick, blah blah blah... sounded just like a lot of excuses. Of coz i was pissed lah. but how to argue against a ´parent sick´reason? I don´t doubt she´s lying, but maybe there´s more to it.

Anyway the night train ride from Zagreb to Munich was tense... I didn´t sleep much, coz of the uncomfortable seats, the rowdy world cup supporters, making sure no one disturbed the 2 girls and feeling very very lost.

We had it all roughly planned out, and I was looking forward to travelling with one fren instead of two acquaintances, u know how its like when 2 good gal pals are together. the odd guy out is totally ignored. And suddenly i was being abandoned. I really didn´t know if i shd continue with the plan or go back with her.

I was feeling lost all the way until at Munich airport, where zo was queueing up to change her air tickets. I looked at the plan and realised some places just wldn´t be fun alone. So to save money also, I decided to cut Poland and Hungary out, and cut Vienna really short.

So now i´m staying in Innsbruck for 2 nights, going to Vienna for 1 night, then back to Innsbruck for another 2 nights before Frankfurt 2 more nights, then flying home.

Once i got a plan out, i didn´t feel so lost anymore. And actually after i kinda told zo off abt pang seh-ing me so last minute (she did ´hint´that she was homesick but never explicitly said she wanted to go home except once, when she seemed like she was joking), and after i ended our trip together on a less sour note and bid goodbye to them, i was feeling great. I don´t have that much time alone, yet i can go see the stuff i wanna see in austria, without needing to take care of the girls and put up with them. they do irritate me sometimes.

But now, sitting here banging away on the hotel´s laptop in an absolutely swanky room (the website must have made a mistake - this is a 4 star HOTEL, not hostel), with TV, fridge, bathtub, 4 cupboards, 3 chairs, etc etc etc (better than Bangkok´s Asia Hotel, misa) i can´t help feeling lonely and missing them. a month together, and now i´m all alone. sigh.

send me an sms now and then, ppl.
