I somehow woke up before my alarm clock even rang today. I think I was so worried about missing my flight that my internal clock forced me to get up pronto. I did the triple S combo in the morning. From there I grabbed one last gyro from my favorite local spot and headed to the station to catch a 45-60 min. train ride to the airport. Everything went rather smoothly on the administrative end and I caught my flight. Unfortunately, I ended up having to do a 5 hour lay over in Nuremberg. It also kind of sucked that I [View Full Entry]

Viela lisaankin yhden jutun, jonka olen unohtanut blogista... Taa on kesakuulta. 24.6. Byrokratiaa… Tämä on uskomattoman byrokraattinen maa… ihan kuin kaikki kunnon Eurooppalaiset maat (Ranka, Italia, Espanja…) En ole onneksi kovin paljoa joutunut näihin rattaisiin, mutta sekin vähä on kyllä tehnyt vaikutuksen! Viimeksi tänään mennessäni Margitin saarelle. Lämpöä oli noin 45° aurinko paistoi täydeltä terältä ja varmaan oli aika kosteaakin, joten hiki virtasi pitkin selkää… Huomasin liian myöhään, että bussilla olisin päässyt ihan Palatinuksen ovelle. Olin siis jo valmiiksi niin kuumissani, että vain saunasta suoraan edellisen kerran! No, sitten lippujonoon…. ja se kestää, sillä joku pojan planttu ilmeisesti osti kuukausilippua (olin [View Full Entry]

When I was a child my parents took me and my sister almost every year on a trip to Hungary. That meant: Packing the car and driving for around 24 hours (I think) to a place (whatsoever, wheresoever. you will find one!) near the Balaton lake. Maybe you don't even have to drive a car in days of cheap airlines and such, but I can tell you: The freedom you have if taking a car is just nice. Ok...so every year we just got in the car and drove to a place that looked nice, stopped and well... we found a [View Full Entry]

Hey all! It has been a while since our last update, some of the hostels dont have the internet. Any way We are in Budapest at the moment, just arrived yesterday and the weather is pretty crap, has not stopped raining. After we were in Vienna we traveled to Prague and stayed at a hostel called Marabou. Not a bad little place to stay, all the people we met there were awsome. I met these two guys named ed and ed who were really really funny, we would just sit back with a few beers and crack jokes at each other [View Full Entry]

Budapest It all started to go wrong when we went to the wrong station when leaving Vienna. After looking at the departure board and not seeing our train, and looking at our ticket, we realised we have 25 minutes to get to Westbanhof and on to our train. Luckily we made it by the skin of our teeth, as we sat down in our seats the train pulled off. PHEW. Once in Budapest, the transport really confused us, and the metro and a couple of trams later (and buying bottles of water to get the right change) we managed to get [View Full Entry]

Am sitting in a lounge, listening to some dj playing nice afternoon sun music. It's a bit too loud for conversation, but who needs conversation when you can just chill out, watching glorious lake Balaton - it's shore line just a few meters away. Apparently the festival is sold out, 120 000 tickets, and the party is on till late into the night. Vanessa, waking up at 4.30 last night, said that the music was still going strong at that time. We'd succumbed to our tiredness and crawled into bed (well, into tent and hammock respectively..) a few hours before that, [View Full Entry]
