15.9.10 Booking it to Budapest


Okay, just a quick post before heading out for the night.

We had a quiz in Czech class this morning, which I think I did pretty well on, though I managed to forget one verb, so I was hitting myself for that. That being said, I had a pretty good day in Czech class as some things started clicking and I was seeing the patterns.

When I finally arrived back at my flat and had just sat down to relax for a while I get a frantic text from Meghan telling me to call her as soon as I have a moment. My phone’s audio is sketchy at best so I texted her back and she said that she had found tickets to Budapest for incredibly cheap prices for next weekend (not this coming) and wanted to know if I was in to join. Well, cheap may be cheap, but I still had to talk to my parents to make sure it was okay, so I hopped online and got the necessary approval so that we could buy the tickets tomorrow morning.

It wasn’t five minutes that I received another text saying that I should meet her outside the apartment immediately. Apparently she wanted to go buy the tickets tonight, so I grabbed some money, my passport and my camera bag and ran out the door.

We had exactly thirty minutes to get from our apartments to Florenc and buy the tickets before the shop closed for the evening. The following photos are evidence of our adventure:

The Wait.

The walk.

The run.
In the end we arrived at the ticket window with a few minutes to spare and purchased our tickets. I now have a round trip bus ticket to Budapest for $40 US, and we’re looking at a hostel for 9 euro a night. Not too shabby if yo ask me.
