My train for Budapest leaves at 11:00 tonight. I was smart enough to reserve a couchette this time. It came to 300 KC, which is around 14 dollars. Very nice!
We had a good time last night sitting around a square table and trading travel stories. There's the two Australians who I'm meeting tomorrow in Budapest, some canadians, and an American expatriot. Also Lou, an English dude, who appears to be some sort of bizarro me. He's into cars from the 60's and 70's, Elliott Smith, dislikes clubs, and is vegetarian. Ok, that last part isn't completely similar but you get the idea. Actually, I'm supposed to be meeting him and his girlfriend Louise for dinner, but I don't know where either of them are. That's fine, though, I just bought some more lentils. Oh, another english guy named Adam (from Manchester) is a guitarist trying to make it big in an acoustic rock group.
Today I walked around the city for about 6 hours in the rain. It was worth it, though, because I ended up seeing some really cool things. Prague is the first European city I've been to so far that isn't totally flat-- And hiking up some of the surrounding hills makes for awesome views of the city. I saw most of the tourist things before it got dark and I decided to call it quits and ride the metro (ticketless) back to the hostel, where I'm at now.
Anyway, I'll post again once again to Budapest.
