budapest & ljubljana

hmm.. budapest was ok.. can't think of anything ridiculously interesting to say about that.

currently in ljubljana, slovenia.. staying in a former prison.. the current prime minister of slovenia was held here once. had a crazy night last night on the train from budapest.. the guard came and tried to get us to give him money, but didn't speak english.. we showed him that all we had was about 1500 forint between us (about AU$10).. he just kept saying "shtampa" and making a stamping gesture at out eurail passes. so apparently we were supposed to validate them at budapest before we left. and because we didn't, he was trying to charge us 50 euro. which was fair.. it was all in the small print.. but we just didn't have any money.. so he eventually gave up, and we ended up essentially getting a free trip worth about $120.. so.. sweet..

got lots of new fun stamps in my passport. hooray.
