So yeah, I should be home in less than 12 hours. Having trouble getting used to people no longer speaking German (was slightly disappointed to be handed an English menu in a restaurant in Frankfurt, just when I had resurrected my German vocabulary - but I managed a decent exploration of the city in 3 hours). Hope you're surviving without a cash cow :)
Sounds like so far so good. (For those who didn't get the cash cow reference, for some reason - probably incompatible chip versions - my credit card doesn't work in Croatia and I was relying on JennyBank for temporary solvency).
