Sleepover!!!

Today is the last day in Budapest. We have loved it. After a bit of organising in the morning we couldn't leave the city without one last trip to the food market. Again... more sausage/melted cheese consumed and we had to try the Goulash didn't we!? Delicious!

We grabbed our backpacks and headed to the train station to await our 11 hour overnight train to Krakow. Sounds horrid right?! Wrong! It was hilarious! As soon as we set foot on the train we got chatting to 2 Stoke lads who we found had the same cabin number as us...together we squeezed down the train with our bags to discover the train cabins had ACTUAL beds. In one little tiny room 6 bunkbeds (3 piled on top of each other on each side of the cabin) had been squeezed in! A rather amusing sight trying to see the boys clamber up into them - you had to be spider man to get into the top 2 - luckily Dwelody were in the middle 2...not too much of a challenge! (see picture...and excuse Melody's special face!)

Hilarity continued as we then found that 3 Scots were in the cabin next door (in a cabin made for 6 it was just the 3 of them...jammy devils!) As the boys cracked open some beers, Dwelody (being the alchies that we are) fortunately had a bottle of wine in our backpacks in preparation. So we all piled into the Scots cabin and hours passed due to the constant laughing about the lolworthy stories everyone had encountered on their European travels - including the Scots tales of how the Europeans had reacted to their kilts...Duncan, one of the Scots, went into a toilet to be confronted by a stoned Hungarian who just pointed at him with gone eyes saying in slow motion 'Scooootlaaaaand?!' ....'Yes, yes I am'.....'Ahhhh...Scoooottttlllaaaand'...*stare during an awkward silence*. The guy then continued to stare at Duncan whilst he tried to 'relieve himself'...a little awkward to say the least...especially when the stoned guys friend joined in...

As the 7 of us had all hit the bottle hard in Budapest we did decide to go to sleep at a reasonable(ish) hour. Dwelody thought one quick TV show on the laptop before we sleep would be a good idea to pass some time... A quick yell from Louise and Melody managed to drop her laptop on the head of the French man sleeping below her!! Oooops! Must have been painful... and rather ironic as we were watching "An idiot abroad" at the time! After a lot of apologies to the French man we did manage to get a little bit of sleep apart from when the train decided to slam the brakes on to arrive at each destination jolting the entire train.

We finally made it to Krakow in the early hours of the morning saying goodbye to our fellow train dwellers but with plans to meet later for drinks (standard).

Last destination of the European tour for Dwelody... best make it a good weekend!!

Lots of love,

Dwelody xxx
