alright so its been too long i admit it. captain's log: star date 06/17/09. we reached the budapest galaxy two far days ago. the road was perilous and long. the last day in the athens star system held 11 hours of wandering. bulgeria held a 5-6 hour layover where we decided to treck the city and venture for food, all the eastern cities are so cool. so i guess i didnt specify, we took a night train to bulgeria, a night train to romania, and a night train to budapest. night trains are no super 8 hotel trust you me. you get woken up a minimum of 3 times: once for ticket and twice for passport (either side of the border). not cool. romania was super fun tho. we had an 11 hour layover and decided to get hopelessly lost in the city and see how many cool things we could find. most notably we watched the pixar blockbuster "up" in not only 3d but it was in romanian. man that movie was so good i didnt even need to understand the words and i was in tears. i recommend you go see it, NOW! but yea we saw the preview for transformers two and it literally blew my mind. like bam, gone. were going to see it wherever we are on the 26th. back to the novel, budapest is a beautiful city we saw many many cool places and also the royal plaice. i wish the pictures were free for public viewing but that is something unattainable at the moment. we are up early and leaving budapest today. good news is that we are staying in our third "famous hostel" as they call themselfs on famoushostels.com but do not be fooled they dont get given the name, they earn it. both weve been in have been simply amazing and i cannot wait to see what a restored building from the 1800's in the center of vienna has to offer. i guess thats all i have for one sitting, captain out.
