Dohhh...
I knew that Swiss have their own money, I checked and got some at the airport, I had already booked the flight over, the train from here to Bern and in the airport I bought a couple of maps as the hostel ones seem to only include itself at the centre of a 5 miles radius and not the entire town or city that it is in, however I was not expecting it to have its own power sockets that were almost identical to those on the rest of Europe.
Regrettably the hostel that I am staying in does not have any adapters and although I mucked up the timings and got here a few hours earlier than scheduled I doubt that I am early enough to make it to the local stores before they close, even if i knew where they were.
What makes it worse is that I am going to be sharing another night in a two bunk room, this time with an Irish lad, but again with some logic that I just do not comprehend this place has no lockers and so if i go out I wont be able to safeguard my stuff.
Damn and blast but I was really looking forward to a memorable time here, in a city and country I have been dreaming of for so long.
But I can't use the internet for long as the laptop power will drain faster than I can type, without internet I cannot find anything of interest that isn't on the tourist map, I'm afriad to leave my room in case my stuff isn't here when I get back and I have so much that I could tell about leaving Vienna and the flight over to Switzerland.
However, thankfully I can amend this posting as I WAS in time to catch the local shops which again thankfully were only 5 minutes away, and so in a later post I can and have related many things which I was afraid I might forget by the time I get more internet access and power.
