Crazy past few days.

Our overnight train from Split, Croatia to Zagreb, Croatia was three hours late, making us miss our connection to Vienna, but luckily for us we were on the train that was heading to Budapest so we said let's do it! So we went to Budapest, arriving at about 6pm. worst train ride so far as tony had cut up fingers that were swollen from the beach at croatia and they got infected and killing him for the past four days, but we bought some stuff in budapest that helped, it was also blazing hott and overcrowded, people were actually sitting in the hallways. but we were coming from a sweet place and heading somewhere we hoped was awesome so still happy. We got to Budapest, found a cheap and nice hotel and got settled down. By that time it was quite late and we were so exhausted we decided we should do as the Buda's do and get some beer and stayed out way to late, making us almost miss the rest of the next day. we found ourselves with three hours to explore an entire city. we did the best we could. Seeing their really cool Parliament.
awsome side note i (tony) have been very adament against buying metro or bus tickets but kel said this time we should really get one(cause to me they are always on the honnor system). we did against my wishes, she got one and of course the only time we have been stopped the entire trip she gets caught. but it was coo.
after that fun adventure we went off to vienna and found the greatest city of the trip. this place blew our minds we were only going to stay a few hours but were so intrigued we had to stay more. we found a hostel and stayed another day, which was well worth it. this place was clean, beautiful, and very very fun. The sighst are amazing and the people are soooo friendly. Within twenty minutes of being ther we were approached by two random older people that talked to us each for ten minutes of what to see and how they are worried for us and our heavy packs, it was awesome! The city is so great. Amazing transportation system, including a great biking line for the tons of people that bike. Anyways we really enjoyed it and both agreed its the place we would live if we lived in Europe, hands down. so Tony wants to look into going to school there, but no worries mom its very hard to get a working visa in Europe.
then we went to poland and learned some very intense and make you wanna punch some nazi things about what happened to the jews in auschwitz. that place put you in the situations that the jews were in cause; seventy yeays ago they were there. our guide was very good at showing the exact location of where there gas chambers were or where the place the nazis's gave them only a 15 sec bathroom break for an entire day, it was some eye opening stuff. On the ride there we had a Polish girl ask why we would even want to visit such a place, but glad we did as it was emotionally interesting.
after that sobering experience we headed to Krakow to hang out for a few days. the city was pretty awesome, we only saw a short amount of it, but quite entertaining. We went to the main square and watched break dancers, flame dancers, musicians and a clown/mime that followed people around and made a Lot of people mad, but entertained us and himself. We also found out while already in Krakow that our eurorail doesn't cover Poland or the Czech, big surprise, especially since we got into Poland with no problem. We decided to risk it and just get on the train hoping no one says anything, and no one did, hope going to Berlin goes the same.
We met some really cool people on our overnighter to Prague and now have been enjoying the city today. We took a free guided walking tour to learn about the sites and going to check out the nightlife tonight. So far it is a city with some cool buildings but not the top of the list, we'll see if the next six hours changes that!

Sidenote about cool Australians: One of our fellow hostelmates was talking to us, of course an australian chick that has a World Ticket and is travelling all over since January and to who knows when. They know whats up when it comes to travelling. All of them buy these tickets which are valid for a year and you can fly to every continent. Each continent you can have about 4 intercontinent flights, its really cool though!

Anyways we'll be home in a week but have sooo much to see and do before then, Berlin tomorrow, Hamburg with my buddy LArs the next day, Amsterdam and back to London for our few last days. Can't wait to see you all!

Croatia is Awesome.

We love Croatia! oh so in case ya didnt know we decided to add Croatia in because it sounded tooo irresistable. We had to take the 36 hr ferry from Greece to Venice, so we also got to see Venice for the day, which is a really touristy, expensive but cool city.

Then we headed to Croatia where we have been the past two days loving life. We went to Plitvice National Park yesterday, which was expensive but hey we may never be here again! Anyways, google it becaust it is amaying. 16 lakes and hundreds of waterfalls, soooooo gorgeous. Unfortunately it is kind of hard to get to, the buses were super expensive so we rented a car and that was a free place to stay for a night too.It also gave us the freedom to travel at our own ease, see the country side and tony loved driving stick on the european highways. It is super mountainous here so lots of reallz reallz long tunnels through the mtns.

Today we went to Brac Island, an hour away from our hub city Split on the Dalmatian Coast, super warm and relaxing. Clear blue water and lots of fun, last day on the beach for a while, till the cabin! We are now taking an overnighter to zagreb and then headed to budapest for the day. So far Croatia is awesomely amazing, people are so nice and friendly.
