Hungarian Rail System: Every Man for Himself




While a 6 hour train ride was not too appealing to get to Croatia, once we were on the train I figured it wouldn´t be that bad...I was wrong! Long story short, we were on the wrong car, as the train was going to split at some point, and ended running to the back of the train at a stop, where we stood with about 10 of our closest friends who smoked cigarettes out the window and spoke a variety of languages - at least they were friendly! Justin and I stood on the train for about 5 hours, then sat at customs & passport control and listened to an Australian kid talk incessantly about things like making pasta to the girl next to him. To make it even more unbearable, the train was late, and it was about 8 hours long!

However - we are in Zagreb in a very clean hostel!! The city seems nice - modern with some gothic and baroque elements. We will be exploring for the morning, and then head to Slovenia.

XOXO J & C
