Waiting, waiting, waiting

Probably the theme of our week. We are both getting pretty good at waiting. Waiting for buses, waiting for internet, waiting for more buses, waiting for cablecars. Luckily its a pretty cool place up here and Tom has a real simple mind, so it hasn´t been too bad.

Training for the last few days has been full of variety. We have been to some maps north of Bolzano, little towns called Völs and Kasselruth. Both of these maps were luckily right on the edge of town, a couple of hundred meters from the bus stops. Steeper than Wölfl and with more cliff detail. The vegetation is resonably well mapped and the boulders seem to get bigger on every map we go to. Both of us now feel like were over the jet lag and looking forward to seeing the others tomorrow (Mark, Georgia and Angela).

We have been up another cablecar, apparently the oldest in the world. We have also seen the Ötzi (The Iceman), a 5000 year old mummy in one of the museums here. Tom has also seen lots of logs floating in the river and has lots of cranes to look at while we wait for things.

Tonight is our last night here before we head to asiago, and once Norm arrives in 3 days we should be able to get some photos and maps up.

Ciao
Tom and Greta
