Train to Vienna is delayed by 15 minutes: typical for trains departing from the Czech Republic, according to Camel. Brno's train station is nostalgic: not just because of its neo-Baroque columns supporting a lofty ceiling but also its old departure-arrivals board on which plates of letters and numbers flip noisily every now and then as the board refreshes the times and destinations of trains. One of the many things I find most captivating.

Vienna. Random thought of the day: Cold weather is cool because you can pretend that you're smoking and hanging with the 'in' gang every time your breath condenses upon exhalation. So this is how it feels like.

Flight to Athens is delayed by an hour. Bought a guidebook at the airport bookshop. I now have three in my bag: Frommer's, which is my favourite because it is the most informative of the three; Lonely Planet, for its chapter on Greek history and just-in-cases; as well as the new Eyewitness, just because it's pretty.

A tribute to my wonderful guide. And lovely host. But above all, my good friend Camel.
