Budapest, Hungary - Hill Hostel
Its freaking hot in Budapest. I haven't showered since yesterday morning and I'm yet to find a place with air conditioning. But, other than that, it seems like a great place. I am cutting my time here a little short and I cut Vienna out of my trip all together because I want to make some room to do some other stuff next week. So, Ill be leaving here for Ljubljana, the capitol of Slovenia, in the morning. And from Slovenia, I'll head to Croatia and (MAYBE) Bosnia.
I took an overnight train last night from Krakow to Budapest. It was a nice ride except for the fact that I was on the middle bunk in the rear of my cabin. What this meant - as anyone who has slept in the middle bunk of the rear of a overnight train cabin can testify to - is that to accommodate the sweaty other people in the bunk, I had to sleep all night with the window blowing only on me. Gently cooling down the rest of the cabin, but slowly giving my body away to frostbite.
In the middle of the night, after a few hours of my wind beaten sleep, I got up and went to the conductor and asked if he knew where or if I could buy a bottle of water. He told me that he would sell me one for 5 euros (!). I was desperate and so I gave in. When I got back to my bed and opened the bottle, however, not only was the water carbonated, but it was already open. Ewww.
Anyways, I actually slept really well on the train and I got to meet some great people. I found a great cheap room in town in a big hostel and I'm ready to do Budapest.
The last thing I want to share with you is that I have a new cell phone. Since I don't know who is reading this blog, I'm not going to post it here, but if you would like to call me, please send me an email and I'll get one back to you with my number as soon as possible. My email address is AdamLGerber@gmail.com.
I love everyone.
