Is one really the lonliest number?
So, I´ve decided that I´m a very strange girl. I´m enjoying this being solitary thing quite a bit. I think this is that phase in my life right before I think I´ll be around people forever.... colleagues, boyfriend that turns into a husband, children...yadda yadda... and I´m kinda just enjoying my freedom. I don´t have to worry about anyone but me and for right now, that´s just the way I like it. It´s also comforting to know that the last two weeks of my trip will be spent entirely in someone else´s company. Besides, you meet the most interesting, and sometimes creepy, people when you´re alone.
The last few days, like the previously written about last few days, have also been quite strange. Someone told me to go on the wrong train in Salzburg and I ended up at the end of Austria and then had to backtrack to get a proper connecting train to Slovenia. I arrived in Ljubljana (pronounced Lube-lee-ana for anyone wondering) almost five hours late, and had to walk an obscene distance in the dark to my hostel. Thank god my hostel was nice, or I might have just hopped back on the train and gone somewhere else.
I ended up in a room with 5 other sleeping guys, who were heading into town just as I was going to bed (I had to stay up to finish reading Harry Potter). A giant crash accompanied with the phrase ˝shut up ya soggy cunt˝ woke me up as the a VERY drunk Scottish boys tried to find their beds at about 5:30 am. That entire morning is kind of a haze. I know at one point one of the guys and climbed into my bed and called me a temptress for not telling him the end of Harry Potter. Then two of his friends picked him up and put him in his own bed. Then he climbed back in my bed and fell asleep. They carried him out again and all fell asleep. They finally woke up (after check-out time mind you) to the extreme agitation of the hostel manager and spent the next two hours packing, serenading me, calling me a temptress, getting naked, breaking the closet, and finally giving me Syphillis. LOL. The guy who fell asleep in my bed bought this wooden bear thing in Venice and named it Syphillis. He said I´d be able to love it better than him and then he left.
Watch out U.S.A., two of those boys will be going to school in the States next year.
Everything is pretty dead on Sundays, especially in Ljubljana, so there wasn´t much for me to do but walk around. I talked to a few people, everyone spoke perfect English (it was weird), and then just went back to my hostel to watch the news (it´s shocking how much I´ve missed).
I left Ljubljana for Zagreb and that´s where I am now. It´s BEAUTIFUL here. I definitely want to spend more time in Croatia if I can. This evening, I´m headed to the coast, Split, to see the ocean, and taking an overnight train there and back so I don´t have to pay for lodging.
I´ll update again soon.
Oh, I met a gypsy on the train... she threw half her things out the window... I was a little frightened because she felt the need to sit with me and talk to entire time. She also wanted me to explain rap lyrics to her...
We´ll see what happens next.
So Far:
Switzerland: Geneva, Bern, Luzern, Interlaken, Zurich
Bavaria
Austria: Salzburg, Villach
Slovenia: Ljubljana
Croatia: Zagreb
next up
Split then
Hungary!!!
