My nice french rental car has a lady included: her name is Irene and she is telling me where to go...In all fairness I have to admit that I would not use her services, had my friend in Nuremberg not "forced" me. V. read the manual, gave me the short version and since then Irene and I are driving together: from Nuremberg to Cologne to Winterberg to Frankfurt and back to Winterberg. Irene's voice is somewhat annoying and she seems confused when I do not follow her instructions. Every now and then I tell her to shut up and drive where I want. Irene is then silent for a few seconds, but recovers quickly to tell me the "new route".
Another favourite technical toy is giving more problems: my beautiful Blackberry World Edition has not found the German network yet....I tried fixing it by my usual procedures: remove battery, shake Sim card, gently tap it or throw it against the wall. Nothing helped and I am back to good old German cell phone.
And now here at the hotel: it has wireless internet, but I guess not for 30 crazy internet addicted Canadians at the same time...So uploading pictures takes f o r e v e r........I will try again later, when evreybody else is at the bar ..or tomorrow when they are supposed to be at training!
