Made 25 euro playing in a poker room, nearly lost my the 170 I sat with, heh. Tis how it goes.
Anyhow, I just wanted to post this photo quickly before I pack up, it’s from the train ride to Krakow from Torun.

Krakow is rainy

Hey ever’body. I took the train from Torun at 1am and hung out with some wonderful geography students heading to the mountains 8 hours from there to do some geology experiments with rockin’ hammers.
I have a nice photo of them sleeping, but don’t have it on the comp yet, I’ll have to do that later. But really, you guys are awesome.
As I was getting here, at 10:30am (yup, 9.5 hr train ride), the rain started slowly, I bought a strange looking croissant with chocolate on both ends for about 1.30zt, the equivalent of about 33 cents Canadian. It had some chocolate pudding type liquid in it, I enjoyed it meekly.
I arrived at the hostel (Goodbye Lenin Hostel) and it sits nearly in the middle of the old city. I quickly met a pack of 9 Lithuanians and I asked if I could join them on their trip to Auschwitz tomorrow; it shall be a party.
We went to the grocery store, bought some grub, came back, made some breakfast, then went for respective napping. I’m not sure what they’re all up to now, but it’s raining enough that I feel like they’re still sleeping after their 800km drive from Lithuania.
Currently, half-watching Eurotrip with a gang of girls; origin unknown.
Torun?

Got here yesterday morning, but ended up sleeping all day and night…16 hours plus most likely. On an entirely unrelated note, the Vodka here is delicious and incredibly inexpensive. It’s 10am, going to explore!
