I actually had a really good sleep, and think I got over the worst of the jet lag. We met K again, and I handed in my music application to the conservatory (to apply for an audition in mid-September). Then we stood in line for about an hour to pick up our keys to the apartment, but it was worth it. It is beautiful! And clean… We have our own kitchen space and bathroom, along with a lovely view of the green hill in the middle of the city where much of the original town of Graz was located. The apartment even came with a vacuum!
Successfully opened an Austrian bank account in the afternoon (wow, we really powered through to get things done!), but ran into some glitches with paying the rent. It’s all sorted out now, but didn’t make for an entirely happy afternoon. We also picked up a whole bunch of stuff from IKEA. We now have the essentials – bedding, dishes, laundry bags. A rainstorm blew in, and we took a cab back into the city. Still didn’t stop us from getting soaked when we left the vehicle. ;-)
SOOOO happy to hear that things were CLEAN when you moved in!! It makes all the difference :) Can't wait to see more photos of the wohnung!
