soooo we made it!!!!!!! i cant believe it. seriously, leaving hungary was one of the most difficult departures i have ever had to make. the last one i really struggled with was leaving a very small and isolated village in indonesia. and the level of difficulty was similar in heviz...seriously!
so from Heviz, Hungary, my mom and i caught a taxi to the bus station, instead of walking and catching a bus to the station, and then proceeded to book the tickets. the lady did not speak one word of english and yes, i really sharpened up my charades and pictionary skills! i am a pro now! it took about 30 minutes to book two tickets, everything was done via pictures and pointing, the lady did not once use her computer but fingered through various books, leaving her desk and coming back numerous times and i just thought....im never gonna leave this country!!!! finally got the tickets and it took us a tram ride, train ride, train ride, bus ride and another bus ride, car ride to arrive at our destination....the absolutely stunning volosko, croatia!!
the people are amazing, so friendly, efficient, helpful, can speak english. the place is beatiful, and neighbouring town is very larny, smart, trendy and very italian actually. lots of vibe and smells of sea food and steak at night, lots of music. fantastic.
our apartment is great too. going on a boat trip now!
catch you later ok.
