13

Just as well we're not superstitious. Tomorrow on Friday 13, the Mermaid, Coco and yours truly will be off to a girly weekend in Amsterdam. Naaah, not to buy weed or to boost our meagre salaries by moonlighting in the red-light district. Rather to re-enact our giggly excursion earlier this year. I've already printed out tickets for the Van Gogh Museum but otherwise we're going to take it easy and split our time equally between strolling around, sitting in cafés and doing the odd bit of shopping, should the opportunity arise. As it probably will.

As our flight (from Bratislava...) is very early tomorrow morning, we're all sleeping at the Mermaid's (= our designated driver) tonight. Enthusiastic as I was about all those cheap flights to be had from Bratislava at first, I've OD'd on them this year and have decided to give it a break for a while and only fly from Vienna in the near future. Travelling time aside, I do miss airport shopping in "proper"duty free shops that cover more floor space than my bed.

Be that as it may - more on Monday. Be good.
