The train was straightforward enough. I thought I slept okay but my Fitbit says it was rubbish. What does it know? I arrived into Vienna around 5.25am. I paid 50 cents to use the bathroom and changed my pants and socks. I am throwing old clothes away when I am […]

Last night I walked next door for some Polish food then slept for a full 9 hours and 46 minutes. Amazing. I had showered beforehand and it felt amazing. This morning I woke, wandered around and am sat having breakfast in a cafe in the old town. It is delightfully […]
High drama this morning. First, very little sleep as the hostel was full of selfish people taking thirty minute showers, banging doors, switching lights on. The Aussie girl also didn’t show up before 3am, so I hope she’s safe. I got up to watch England play Mexico. Watch first half […]
