Klagenfurt, Austria

Got here this morning from a night train from Bern. About a 10 hour train ride.....but let me tell you about our little adventure....While we were in Gstaad, the US teams physio had asked us if we could help them out by taking their massage table, and bringing it to Klagenfurt, because if they were to bring it, it would cost them $500 to send. In exchange for that, they would give us free massages all week, when we wanted them, and they gave us a bunch of DVD's of other teams to watch. So of course, we said yeah sure! Okay first of all, this thing is a pain in the ass to be carrying around. They gave us a roller for it, but of course it's too wide to fit through any door, or escalator, or even some elevators. So when we got into our train, we had a compartment room with 6 chairs, and everyone's luggage could barely fit in there, let alone a big ass massage table....so what do we do, we go to the next train cart and find a spot to store it. Sweet right? That's what we thought......so when we wake up and get to our destination, we start getting our luggages, and make our way back to the other cart, and for some reason, it's a totally different cart! so we go the other way thinking that we just went to the wrong cart, but NO! Somewhere, sometime, we had stopped and that cart had detached from our cart! We were freakin out! Tried to talk to someone about it, but of course they don't speak good english and trying to let them know what had happened was real task! Finally, somehow we figured out where the train had detached and where it was going, tracked it down, and we were told that it was suppose to come on the 10:15pm train here to Klagenfurt. So we go there last night way before it arrives, we were suppose to meet with the train conductor. Train arrives, no conductor, train takes off....so we scramble to try to talk to someone, we talked to 4 people, and all they could tell us was to call the company...blah, blah, which is what we did in the first place, and who told us that the luggage will come out of that 10:15pm train. So with hopes still up, we get back to the hotel, and we talk to the receptionist, and she says, "oh, i have a message for you", and it's a message saying that the massage table will be delivered to the hotel, tomorrow morning! We were like, "what!?" So with all this happening, the US physio has still not called us to get the table back, because they were suppose to arrive Tuesday. So the next day we go to practice, come back and the table is waiting for us at the front desk! And the person who works at the hotel picked it up for us! ..... I think it's just a crazy story, that the freakin table detached from us and we found it! CRAZY!!!!!
So anyway, not to make this story too long, the physio is in our room right now, i just got a massage and Diane is on the table right now getting her massage.
We play tomorrow, 2 games......we think we have Germany first, then maybe Brazil. Here we go Grand Slam!
