Behind the Iron Curtain.

Jen and I left Vienna and took an evening bus to Budapest. We decided to go with this Eastern European bus company because it was the cheapest.....mistake #1. We went to get on the bus and they told us that we weren't on their list, even though I had paid online and everything had been confirmed the day before. We had to pay again for seats and then she asked us for ID or passports. No, not student Id. Passport or ID. No, not driver's license. Passport or ID. Ugh...ok, here's our passports.

We got into Budapest at night, it was raining, we had no money (Forints), weren't able to get hold of our friend Milly, no hostel, everything was deserted, and my knee hurt. I couldn't weight bear on my right knee and I had to wobble around empty downtown trying to find a hostel.....we eventually found one with room.
