Watching these Italians go crazy was really fun experience. In the middle of the night streets suddenly became green, white, red and "Viva Italia". They're honking outside the window even now. I wonder what will Genova look like.

Anyway, it's been a few days in Heimbuchenthal/Niedernberg/Aschaffenburg now. I had great time here hanging around with girls (now, how could I possibly have non-great time?), watching beautiful sceneries of Bayern, climbing hills and swimming in lake - both in the middle of the night and hanging around with girls. You can probably tell I don't get much sleep, but it seems to be the case with everyone else around. There are more interesting things to do here. I'm also starting to walk barefoot. Again.', 'I spent this night at yet another HC member's place. Claudia has impressive collection of alcohols, taking up almost every flat area, and none of bowls, mugs or plates in her kitchen seems is from the same set (ok, that's a small exaggeration).

Unfortunately, I'll be leaving shortly, but there's more ahead. I'm familiarizing with a thought of going south, which is actually pretty scary. It's around 150°C in here, even in midnight, and I'm supposed to go where it's even hotter. Hope that Italian food makes up for that :)

A bit more about this place. Heimbuchenthal is really beautiful town squeezed between two hills - and it's just one of many similar. From my experience, the main method of communication in here is hitch-hiking - which gets quite confusing, as the roads tend to go in every direction at the same time. Aschaffenburg is a medium sized city with nice castle and old town. Nothing exceptional, but somehow very pleasant to stay in. In a while I'm supposed to get to Nidernberg from Aschaffenburg - without guide this time.

By the way: HospitalityClub has almost 160 000 members now. Make this number even bigger - go register.
