9:50 am: Last night was a great last night in Budapest. I ate at the hostel at met some new arrivals (an Aussie, two Brits and a girl from Wales - now that is an interesting accent). After dinner we got ready to go to the other hostel's party. The theme of the night was "the morning after the night before) so basically everyone had messy hair, unbottuned shirts, smeared makeup and some people chose to wear just underwear. It was a really cool idea. The hostel has a really nice outdoor bar and they had drink specials all night as well. I met a lot of interesting people and had a really good time. I stayed out until 2 and then went back to our hostel with Zareena (a nice girl I met from the UK) and Carlos and Veronica from Venezuela. I only got about 2.5 hours sleep and then was up at 4:30 to get ready to leave. I'm on the train as we speal. So far so good on this train. As far as I know I won't need another bus adventure. This is the first time I'll be arriving in a city with no plans on what to do or see. I'll probably just get a tourist map and walk around. I'm not sure if there's even that much to do in Zagreb and I'll only be there for a couple hours. I should get there at 1pm and then I need to be on my overnight train at 6:30 en route to switzerland. Hopefully I can just leave my luggage at the train station in Zagreb instead of lugging it around with me.
3:42 pm: I got into Zagreb 45 minutes late. Security at the border was ridiculous. Five different police officers (both Hungarian and Croatian) came by to examine my passport and then custom agents came by to do the same. They must have a lot of problems at this border. The train station has great lockers so I can store my backpack until I need to get back. Zagreb is actually a really nice city. Not a ton of sites but really charming. The tourist office gave me a really good map with a free walking guide on it. I've just been exploring the last couple hours. I was mistaken for some Italian on tv so that was really cool. I thought I looked Euro today and apparently I was right lol. I have about two more hours until I need to go back to the station. I wish my train wasn't late so I could have had more time to explore. I'm just at a restaurant waiting for my lunch. I need to find a shot glass before I leave as well and probably get some food for my train ride tonight. I'm looking forward to the epically long night train for a much needed sleep. I should arrive in Zurich tomorrow morning around 9. Anyways, my chicken and gnocchi have just arrived.
4:15 pm: chicken and gnocchi just made my day. Delicious.
