Day 147 town squares, pretzels and trains.

This morning I had a little time before my train, so I hung around with Ari and her friend before I had to gather my stuff and a few supplies for my train ride to Krakow. A soft pretzel and fizzy water in hand, I am off to the train station.

The train station was a bit confusing. I got a ticket, headed to the platform and freaked out when at the sight of what I thought was my ride for the next six hours. The train was ancient! It had no windows, tons of graffiti, and was probably older than my dad. I asked the platform attendant and in his limited English he tells me to wait, something else will arrive. Here we are 10 minutes to go time and I am still staring at this ugly train and now worried that I am in the wrong place and headed the wrong way to nowheresville on the train that pulled up at the exact time my ticket was set for departure.

However, I didn't end up in nowsheresville. I ended up in Krakow at about nine. Found my hostel, bought a few beers and relaxed in the common room. It was a thankfully anticlimactic ending to self-induced stressful day.


Here are few pictures I took before getting on the train this morning.
