Luksotožje, 1. del / Lux-Sick, Part 1

Saj vem – še dva meseca nista minila od začetka tega leta, pa sem že zanemarila svojo zaobljubo o vsakotedenskem bloganju. Resnici na ljubo večino krivde za mojo odsotnost pripisujem dejstvu, da enostavno nisem imela o čem pisati, saj sem imela občutek, da se v mojem življenju ni dogajalo nič kaj posebej omembe vrednega. V iskanju navdiha sem celo brala svoje članke iz časa, ko sem živela in delala v Luksemburgu in skoraj vsak dan objavila kakšen nov post, pri čemer so se ti po dveh letih, odkar sem se vrnila od tam, celo meni še vedno zdeli zanimivi. Ko sem tako ugotovila, da mi očitno na vseh področjih manjka zagona in navdiha, je zelo hitro padla odločitev, da se  odpravim na nakajdnevne počitnice v svoj drugi (v mojih mislih pa pogosto kar prvi) dom, Luksemburg torej.

Vožnja (vedno grem raje z avtom, saj je to zaradi ne ravno idealnih letalskih povezav ceneje, poleg tega pa sem potem še v Luksemburgu povsem neodvisna) se ni začela ravno najbolje: ob 5.30 zjutraj je bilo na mojem (prejšnji dan temeljito očiščenem in opranem) avtu nekaj centimetrov snega, ki je še vedno rahlo naletaval, in sama pri sebi sem se v stilu moje soigralke Andreje že spraševala »A mi je b’lo treba tega…?«. Poleg tega sem bila tako sredi noči še precej zaspana in tudi odločitev, da si čas krajšam s poslušanjem poljudno-znanstvene avdio-knjige v angleščini se ni izkazala ravno za najboljšo. Slabo vreme, tema in utrujenost so me spremljali še dobri 2 uri celo pot po Avstriji, nato pa se je v Nemčiji povsem zjasnilo, začela sem poslušati meni tako ljubo skupino Westlife in vožnja se je kar naenkrat prelevila v čisti užitek. Še posebej lepo je bilo na poti mimo jezera Chimsee z otočkom Herrnchimsee (na katerem stoji znameniti grad Ludvika II. Bavarskega, nekakšna replika palače v Versaillesu) – tam sem med postankom na hitro posnela spodnjo fotografijo.     (Se nadaljuje…)

I know, I know – it wasn’t even two months into the new year when I already neglected my promito blog on a weekly basis. To be completely fair I felt there was nothing worht writing about going on in my life. In search for an inspiration I somehow began reading my posts from the time when I lived and worked in Luxembourg and apparently had something worth mentioning happening to me almost every day, and even I enjoyed reading those articles now, 2 years after. So I realized I was lacking motivation and inspiration in mayn aspects and the decision to go on a holiday to my second (in my mind more often first) home, Luxembourg, was anything but difficult to make.

The ride (I always go by car, which is cheaper due to not exactly perfect air connections and allows me to get around easily while in Lux) didn’t start very well: at 5.30am there were 5 centimetres of snow on my freshly cleaned and washed car, it was still snowing lightly and just as my teampartner Andreja ofetn does I was already saying to myself: “Why am I doing this to myself…?”. I was also still quite tired in the early hour and the decision to keep myself entertained by listening to a semi-scientifin audio book in English wasn’t the best one either. The bad weather, darkenss and tiredness didn’t leave me for the entire 2-hour ride through Austria. But then the sky cleared in Germany, I started listening to my beloved Westlife and the trip turned into pure joy. It was especially nice driving by the Chimsee Lake with the little Herrnchimsee island (on which Lugvig II. of Bavaria built his famous Versailles-inspired castle) – this is where I took the following photo:     (To Be Continued…)
