Goodbye Laptop

When things get too easy you need a curveball every now and then to keep you on your toes. This morning, my laptop died. No, not a software problem, or something that a lot of computer trouble-shooting can fix... the hard drive has gone kaput. Luckily I have been backing up my pictures on an additional hard drive that I bought so no worries about the pictures. Despite the initial frustration, the only thing I've lost that I can't recover is my trip finances tracking spreadsheet. I'm transferring my backed-up pictures to a new hard drive here in an internet cafe in Bruges and I'm writing this blog while it works. We can still get email and maybe even do some text-posts to the blog using my sweeeeeeet iPod Touch so hopefully we don't get too out of touch in our last 3 destinations.... Berlin, Prague, & Paris.

I would never have guessed that you have an i-Pod Touch Ian...it's not like you mentioned it 2 or 3 or 11 times already :)
You could be standing in front of the stonehenge holding it and the caption would read "me and my ipod touch in front of some orderly rocks".

Hope your last set of cities are as experiencefull as the others you've been to on this journey! I'm going to miss reading about your adventure, but the plus is that I get to see you guys in a couple of weeks!
