Arthens was fun! Meteora is just amazing, and I had the worst and best expiernce in a 24 hour period!

ok after i finished typing my last blog i walked back up stairs to the lobby area and saw matt sitting there! he was just hanging out by him self self so i sat down to see what he was up to! he said he was heading up the the giant hill with emily, her friend, anna, and tom! i had already hiked up that giant hill that day and around most of athens, but they talked me into going agian so i did! what ever its good excersize! so i waited with matt till the others were ready, and it wasnt long before they all came down! we headed off and planned to stop by a supermarket before going up the hill because they wanted to have like a picnic type deal and watch the sun set! but that didnt happen because we just kept walking and we got caught up in talking, crazy illigal sales men, and busy streets of athens! but what ever i said lets just eat when we get back down, and everyone thought that would be ok!
so i showed them the way to the top and its a little bit of a trek from the hostel and pretty much all up hill! when we got to the hill it was fun going up with a big group! we saw more turtles in the middle of a giant mountian ha ha! and when we got to the top it was beuatifle, even the second time for me! athens is such a dense city with soooo much to see!
we were at the top of the hill for about an hour just having a good time eating some strawberries anna had and chatting away! emily and here friend wanted to stay till sun set, which was fine but it was like an hour and a half away.. so i kinda made it clear that i wasnt gonna stay and ended up walking back with anna, tom and matt!
whenwe winded our way back thru the streets to our hostel we ended up going to get a greek salad! we all had to try a greek saled in greece, makes since to me! i asked for chicken in my greek salad and he looked at me wierd so i took it just the way the make it! ha ha which is very good, i was basically chunks of fresh tomato, cumcuber, some strange olives, feta cheese, some oil and idk... but it was very good!
we sat out side and seriously about every three minutes a new person would come by and try and sell you something! lol its halarious, all of a sudden you table will light up with green laser lights every where and you up to a guy holding 30 laser lights and a mega phone! its soo funny the he talked into the megaphone, " 5 euro nice lights, i give you for three, try try.. ha ha"
i have fun with it! but in greece its not as fun cause if you lead them on they will not let it be... i tried on some glasses and that was the biggest mistake of my life ha ha i had to eventually grab a waiter to get this guy away from the table..
you get little kids selling tissues, its just unreal, and kinda sad at the same time... these kids are like eight! but eventually we just continued a conversation and just flat out ignored them, but i could i was laughing so hard ha ha!
you'll walk by some one and there just step in front of you and open a bag, DVD? ha ha no thanks man!

any ways it was something ive bever expierenced while eating dinner at a restraunt, so it was cool, i thought! im sure the locals hate it!
we left dinner at about 8:30 which is about a half an hour into happy hour.. happy hour only goes for an hour and our hostel had the cheapest beer in athens! 3 euros a pint, and by one get one free during happy hour!!
so we had our fair share of beers because i had one more night but left early in the morning so i wanted to have a good last night drinking! and i did! the sky bar is so coool! everybody talks with every one, keili the bar tender is super cool, and its just a good time, every one clicks! when the bar closed at mid night, anna, matt, russ, and i went out to get a euros which is like a greek version of the kebab! its good but a bit salty.. after that i saw a stray dog in the squar and sat next to it, and started petting it! with a good buzz i didnt think about it having rabies or randomly deciding to attack me! ha ha but it was nice and im pretty sure he probably doesnt get the attention i gave him hardley ever! he did snap at me but that was because a guy cam up with his crazy green light disco laser and i yelled at him, cause he kept doing it and he was freaking me and especially the dog out! matt asked for my camera when i started petting the dog and i didnt realize how many pictures he took till the morning! lol i woke and looked at my pics which is always fun! and i just started laughing! i had like thirty pictures of me and this dog! but there are some cool pics! :)
after my hands where black and i probably had fleesi decided id had enough of the dog, so we headed back! but it was a fun night!
in the morning i took a nice long shower and when down for some breakfast! i had breakfast and talked to every one that was down there! matt, anna, and i ended up going to the beach!we thought it would be a lot easier than it was but, things slightly changed... ha ha we hopped on the the green metro line that takes you all the way to the ocean side to the ports and we were hoping to find a nice beach around there, but we didnt even make it to the ports, because the metro line was under construction and we had to get off about three stops early..
we asked the lady at the station and she said it wouldnt be bad to walk at all! which i thought was shurly the case because tiffany walked to the ports from the hostel in an hour and a half. but after about ten minutes of walking we asked a couple and they made it sound like your wasting you time to walk....
anna had to meet a friend at the airport soon any way so we ended up hopping in a taxi and aggreeing on the price of eight euros, after a little bit of numbers going up and down ha ha! but the driver was cool he spoke no english just numbers, we were in the taxi for all of ten minutes and then got on the highway... im going uhhh? what beach are we going to? we all started joking about where we were going and he gave us the hand signal like dont worry! ha ha
he did end up taking us to a nice beach! and it was fun! nobody was gonna swim cause it was a little windy, but there were a few people in, and i knew i might ni be back to the beach! so with no warning i got a running start and made my way into the beautifle ocean! its been awhile since ive been in an ocean it was nice! i talked matt and anna into getting in! and we swam for about twentie minutes hung out for a bit and then had to get back.
getting back was easy and should have been the way we got there! ha ha it was a tram that took us all they way back! people were looking at me strange cause i was bare foot with sandy feet and still pretty wet! but what do ya do.. oh yea bring a towl and a change of clothes ha ha?
when we got back i went and hung out with the pigeons! ha ha and idea i got from some guy that put bird seed in my hand and tried to charge me five euro to take a picture when bird landed on me.. so i decided to do it my self! you guys are probably like wow... really.. so were the people watching in the sqaure! lol but it called for some cool pics! :)
then i headed back, showered and met kate in the lobby cause she talked about making matt and i some pasta because we cooked her a home made pizza! matt was talking a nap so i went to the store with kate and got some vegies and a few things we needed!
i helped her a little bit but she pretty much had it under control! when dinner was ready, i went up to matts room and pounded on the door! we headed back down and enjoyed a very nice pasta with garlic bread! it ended up being about five us us eating! it was cool!
after dinner the boys did the dishes, cause we pretty much did nothing else! ha ha people were taking pictures of us as if guys never wash a dish.. and by the time we got things cleaned up it was about to see what was going on in the sky bar! i didnt want to drink a lot because we had a plan to meet in the lobby at 7 am to catch a train to meteora! it turned into a group of five that were headed up there so i was looking forward to it!
any way just like everyother night you say your not drinking... you drink! so i had two happy hour beer which equals four beers! and got to talking to this lady that i met in the lobby from hamburg cause i let her use my cheap charger! we talked for a while about a bunch of random stuff, her name was kristen and shes thirty! a very nice lady! i ended giving her my charger because.. well i dont know why.. she was headed to the islands and i figured i could grab another one easily, she was so excited and what ever, but if i ever make it back to hamburg i for sure have a place to stay!
any ways i had my eye on this latino girl from mexico since the morning at breakfast ha ha! we were kinda being flirty flirty, and i was givin her a bit of a hard time! it was fun! out of the middle of know where matt calls me over cause she was talking to matt about me, and we got to talking!
long story short this girl was super cool! cool enough for me to stay out till 3 am whatching the changing of the guards which happens every hour and isnt like the most exciting thing in the world ha ha..
but somethin about her idk! it was exited about leaving in the morning untill this point ha ha! but it was fun, and i hope to see her agian one day, who knows!
the next morning i was up early and heading down to the lobby for a coffee! matt, and the other three kids that were headed to meteora were in the lobby already! the other three were worried about catching the train so they left, but i had my coffee and matt and i made our way to the train station! matts funny, hes still a little confused just like i was on day 17, i tought hime the metro and how to make your way to a place! he'll get it just like i did! but any ways we got there with plenty of time left, and i had one more coffee when we met up as a group!
the train ride was about five hours and wasnt to bad, considering i was a little ehhhh... but i slept for about an hour and we got there around one!
leonared, micheal, and allen were staying in a different hostel, cause matt and i booked ours before. we stayed in a two twin bed privat room which is you only option in a small town like this... but its a nice place and wasnt to expensive! breakfast was good in the mornings and i cant complain!
the first day was pretty mellow we wall to one little monestary, and got some food from the store and called it an early night for the big day ahead of us!
in the morning we got up aroun nine! i felt like a new person!!
i emptied my back pack and we packed sandwhiches, fruit and water!! we hiked almost all day around these cliffs! there flast out amazing! there mind blowing! theses monestarys are built on top of giant giant giant rocks! it un real!
about this time i was wondering why the hell i gave my charger away.... matt was cool and let me snap some shots with his camera using my sim, but still it was a bit of a hassle and not the same as having a fully chargesd camera in your pocket..
the only charger i could find was 30 euros... i got the last one for five.. i almoste broke down and got it but i have to crack down now.. the funds are gettin tight!
we ended up seeing leonard and his friends at the grand monestary, and they were headed back the direction we came, after we chatted for a bit mat and i headed in to the monestary with there tickets ha ha it worked!
we were wearing shorts and some people didnt like that.. we almost didnt get in to them.. which i dont understand at all but what ever!
i even stayed out side of one cause i dont need to see the inside of all of these for two euros a pop.. ive seen many churses and was enjoying the oustide veiw!! its just crazy!
after we saw the grand monstary we ended up heading back the direction we came and ran back into leonard and his friends ha ha! so we walked down with themto the small town they stayed in next to ours called kasatraki! we had some dinner with them but only got bread and dip because we had more food left!
matt and i walked back to our hostel and just sat on our patio and relaxed for a little bit! we walked alot!!!
when it got later we walked down to the train station then up to the super market and hit a souvener shop on the way back! we got to chatting to the hotel host and another ladie that works here and there very nice people! then it was bout eleven so it was time to get organized and get some sleep for the next day, cause we both had early trains to catch!
matt was going back to athens to head to the iasland with leonard and them, and im headed to thessolonki in north eastern greece so i can eventually get to istanbul!!
when i was packing and organizing i realized the worst thing possible had happend.... my camera....
yep i didnt have it... i was freaking out.. i went thru everything and it wasnt there... matts like weel it will come up in the morning..
NO, HELL NO!! im not gonna sleep untill i find that camera, but i didnt.. i really didnt sleep good at all, and when i woke up matt was gone, and i really didnt care about catching my train.. i cared about finding my camera!
in the morning i walked down to the super market hoping it was there, but it was closed.. so i walked to the train station where the people are very un friendly.. and it wasnt there.. but i some how talked them into canging my ticket to tomorrw with out paying for a new one! that wasnt easy...
i went back to the super market but it didnt open for ten more minutes.. so i waited, they didnt have anything and were not very pleasent or helpfull at all..
then.. i walked all the way back to kasastraki which is the next small town over and went to the place i had dinner with every one.. not there... that was the last place i know for sure i had it.
i was walking back and didnt feel like walking so i put my thumb out and got picked up by the secong car that past! it was and old man, and spoke a little english, he talked about his time he spent in america! it was a quick ride to the souvenier shop which is a little bit past my hostel, and that was still closed, so i was just feeling like shit! so many cool pics a digital camera... and it just was the worst day and this was the last thing i ever wanted to happen....
at this point i walked slowley and aimlessly back to the hostel and got on face book messaging everbody i had hung out with to send me somepics for my dvd... it wouldnt be the same, but better thaen nothing of vienna, munich, zurich, and all of GREECE...
i wrote some postcards and headed back to town to send them and see if the souvenier shop was open, and it wasnt.. but right when i turned around a guy pulled up in a truck and parked, it was the guy working the shop! this was my last shot at getting my camera..
i asked him about it and he new nothing... my stomach dropped and i just had the worst feeling ever....
then i turned aound, and out the other the corner of my eye i saw my camera sitting up on these costers by all the post cards, i freaked out! like seriously after being miserable and trippin since the night before i was going crazy! the guy was like oh bravo, bravo!!! i was just estatic, i cant explain the feeling!
i even wrothe on a postcard to my family about loosing my camera, ha ha but thats a false alarm!!!
i walked back to the hostel just yelling out like is good!!! and its because i gave that lady my charger! :) i love carma!
so i came back booked another night here in this nice little town and, and will be out of here tomorrow! im gonna wait till i get to thessolonki to find a charger, because i know i can do better than 30 euros.. but i wish i could take more pics today.. but i dont care im just happy to have my camera!!
so that was today! the worst day, turned into the best day!!!!!
that brings me to now! im just gonna chill untill my train tomorrow and hopefully be to istanbul in a day or so!
im thinkin about spending about a month in turkey and flying out of istanbul!
i gotta get back to see every one!! and save for burning man! ha ha
miss you guys!

Munich was fun! Zurich is far to expensive.. and Athens is Amazing!!

I left off at walking around with the Canadian girl..
That girls bothered me a little bit, or maybe a lot..
Ha ha we walked amto the town hall which is beautifle!! And met her friend, who was studying in Munich, I was super hungry so I had to get some food then we went to a beer harden And I had a water and they got a beer! I know doesn't sound right but I didn't feel like drinking an spending the money so what ever..
I basically listened to them talk girl talk and drama drama drama!!!
I couldn't relate with them and just wasn't having a great time, so I told them I was going to meet somebody, which I was but not till later!
and I was looking forward to it! It was the girl i hung out with from couch surfers! Her name is Stephanie and she's a cool girl!
Any ways when I left the Canadian girl and her friend I went to the dm which is a store hygenics and what not, and I got my self some shower gel and tooth paste! Then I went down the street to my hostel!
I got my stuf out of luggage and had about an hour to kill! So I relaxed a little bit Hung out in the Lounge area and sent a couple messages!
I had to meet Stephanie at her house at seven so
I cought the tram at about 6:40 which got me to her house around perfect timing!
Her house was pretty easyto find but you have to really look ha ha it's not like in America driving with your lights on high beam asking the passenger if theh can see the numbers on the house! :)
But I found the complex pushed the button with her name on it and I was good to go!
Stephanie is so friendly, I enjoyed my stay with her! She let me take a shower, and just made menfeel right at home!
Anyways as soon as she was ready we headed out to her friends house for some wine and pizza!!! Mmmmmmm it was good!
Once agian I offered to pay but they said no please just be our guest! We chatted it up and had a good time with friends and room mate! Then we headed out to a work party for stephanies work party! It was really nice of her or her friend to add me as there plus one! There was a big guestlist!
When I think of work party it's not exactly how this on was! I had si muh fun ha ha we danced all night after our free welcome drink! And it was just good times! It was like clubbing pretty much!
I payed 10.50 for a jack and coke and almost had a heart attack.... But what do you do..
We left the work party at around one-ish and headed back to stephanies flat, and had a nice conversation about random things, like family and life which was interesting!
We ended up getting to bed around 2 a.m which was kind of late considering what time Stephanie had to get up.. And I woke up a litle after she did around 7:30 I think..
But I was good to go we had coffee and she made an amazing pretzel with ham and cheese! Mmmmmmm
And plus I go a good night sleep her couch nicely fold out and is super Cumfy!
Stephanie had to head out to work but insisted that Id like to stay or need a shower just to do so! So I thanked her and gave her a hug, and she was on her way.
I finished my pretzel and packed up my stuff, and tried to tidy things up a bit, which was practically nothing because she keeps things very neet and clean!
I left About 45 min after she did and went walking with my pack!
I had a bout three hours before I caught catch a train!
I walked down a very nice street in Munich past the univerty and just enjoyed the 45 min walk I took! I went to the post to send off some random things, then went next door and had sone burger king which I quickly regretted after..
Its expensive and no good..
I feel lime junk food is your only option 80% of the time...
I'm gonna gt better at making snacks or carry fruit and healthier things to snack on to keep me going!
But any ways I sti had about fifty minutes to kill so I put in some head phone and went out front with my Luna sticks! It made time go much faster and I was on a train to Zurich before I knew it!
The train was very very crowed due to all the flight cancelations, but no big deal the two ladies I was faceing seemed to be very nice and the girl next to me slept untill the last hour..
but the last hour was soo cool we all go to talking about my trip and what they have done and wher there féin and what not! And this one lady older lady was soooo sweet, but spoke very little English..
And about 20 minutes before Zurich the other two ladies got o the train leaving me and the sweet ladie speaking little English ha ha!
But she shared a little sandwich with me and we talked the best we could! I have her laughing, and she pulled out her dictionary and we made I work!
Ha ha we got a picture together and my camera was dead... Sad but she gonna send me the pictures because we exchanged information, I gave her a postcard of Nevada and were gonna keep in touch Here and there! She's a sweet older woman!
When she got off the train she was taking pics of me inside the train lol and I did the heart symbol and I think the peace sign but i cant wait to see the pics!
So that was fun!
when I got to zurich I went pretty much new how to get to the hostel! I made my way there and tried to find a store so I could cook and save money! Yea right!!
I found a store and bought a very small loaf of bread, a little ham, turkey, rice, and 4 eggs for 22 swiss franks!
I was sad... I pulled out fifty Swiss franks from the ATM outside the store and already almost half was gone....
So I mosied to my hostel which was tucked in a little Allie way, and spent the rest of my Swiss franks plus ten euros...
Zurich sucks, like really bad! Unless your a bazillionare...
And even then I'm not stoaked on it...
I didn't even go out! I talked to quite a few random people, tried to use the Internet that wouldn't work and ended up going to bed around ten thirty..
I made a about five sandwiches that are as basic as they get to make it all the way to Athens and maybe till tomorrow!
Im not one to complain but come on.... How is that enjoyable... The hostel was shit for 35 Swiss franks.. Wichita is outragous..
A meal at mc donalds would cost you right around 16 American dollors, and you couldn't find a 12 oz soda for under 4 Swiss frank it's just shit....
So long story short I basically hid in my hostel and woke up and was gonna walk around but I pretty much said f it, I Tom three pics and went to the train station to get a ticket to the airport which takes 8 min and cost me 6.50 Swiss franks.... Ughhhh
I wen from bratislava to Vienna for 11 euros! I'm confused..
But any ways I got thru the crazyness of the giant air port, but it wasn't to bad actually and now I sitting here waiting for my flight which is in 45 min!
I can't wait to Leave zurich!!!
I would never come back! Ever!
All they care about here is money!!! Really...
So all be In Bulgaria by 3 pm an Athens by ten I hope!
But i know for sure I'm leaving here which makes me happy! I talked to people stuck here cause there flights.... I couldn't do it.... I'd walk to another country before I stayed in Zurich...
All up date when I can find Internet, but untill then all keep writing!!
......
so the airport in sofia, Bulgaria is very small... And they don't take euros and I've been begged by four taxi driver s to let them give me a quick and very cheap tour of Bulgaria.. Ha ha it's funny!
But you can motor a HUGE difference from flying out of Zurich and into sofia!
The ones rich and ones poor.. Ha ha
Flying out a nice bus brought us to the plane landing well a piece of sh** but picked us up!
The diversity on this small cotinent is un real!
The flight was nice tho everything was in Bulgarian, and partly and quickly translate to English! And we got a sandwhich, candy bar, and a glass of wine!
And has a perfect landing, matter a fact every one started clapping :)
Going thru customs was easy and now I'm waiting to check in!
I kinda wish I could at Least go to the city, but it looked pretty rough flying in ha ha!
The flight to Greece was nice!! Got another meal ha ha, but we flew thru the clouds which is always awsome I think!
and the about ten minutes before landing you would just see little, and big islands all over! It was cool!!
We landed on the big island, an I had to take a metro that to the city which took about an hour and when I finally got of at the stop I was like WOW! And then I was like WOW! And might had said it one more time! Ha ha I looked up at the giant hill where the Parthenon and acropolis!
I tryed to take some pics but they wernt to great at night..
But I found my hostel down a littles street not to far from the mertro stop!
I checked in and the girl that checked me in was from orgeon she's really cool!
But getting to my room was easy, but getting in it wasn't..
Ha ha she gave me the wrong key to the gated door I shut beging me for some reason, and when i got to my room the key didn't work.. So I went to back to reception which is next door and I couldn't open the gate to Leave the building because she have menthe wrong key.. Ha ha it was rediculous!
I was stuck in between my room and the street..
I literally waited twentie minutes unit some body came in and asked me what I'm doing.. Oh you know just hanging out in this tagged up hall way cause I can't get in my room or back to the reception to get it fixed... They laughed and I felt good to get on the other side of that stupid gate!
The girl was like oh I'm soo sorry... He he oops..
what ever I want a free hour of Internet ha ha!
But anyways that was just kinda funny just getting to the hostel after 7 hours of travel..
The first night in Athens was pretty fun!
I had a beer at the roof top bar where we have an amazing view of the parthenon and acropolies! It's cool!!! All lit up and every one just hangs out and chats! I've met a bunch of cool peeps!
The roof bar closes at mid night so we went out to another club type bar, which was but he drinks are pricey and the people tend to do more talking than dancing... We danced! But it was just our group of 7 or so..
So I eventually decided I was gonna head back and it turned into a group of us goingto get chocolate crapes which I didn't Have, but I did my self a very nice and cheap panini!
Then headed back for bed!
I woke up around nine and made t down for breakfast! Mmm it was pretty good for being free! You get capaciunos, cereal, and bread! It works and fills me until lunch!
I stared my day by doing some laundy, and it was five euros! Just to wash, he'll no was I using there dryer fo another five euros.. So I hung all my clothes on the balconly and called it good!
The rest of the day i ended up walking around for a while with a kid named mat from austraila! He's a cool kid, we walked up to the Parthenon, and acropolies! Ha ha i tripped over a turtle on the way up! Seriously! I took a picture with my little buddy and sent him back on his way! I don't understand how the turtles live on a mountian? Where's there water? Idk, but there cool and you see them quite a bit!
went to another temple, and ended up back on the city streets! We walked thru heaps of people selling stuff,And I actually ended up buying some old Arabic bill, idk it was cheap and looked cool!
We thought we were headed to the hostel but ended up getting lost in the never ending streets and people of Athens! This is the most dense city I have ever been in! Really it's crazy!!!
Getto on one street busy on the next! Meat, and frui markets, illigals selling stuff every where! It's something else!
We finay just found a metro station and got back on track by taking the metro right to the stop our hostel is by!
and we went to the store to grab some cheap Dinner that Matt and I could split!
Ha ha finding a normal store is impossible, some "markets" are better than others but you just don't find a regular supermarket.. No way!
We walked down a pretty shady street, and got hassled to by some hash I tucked my camera string deep in my pocket and said I'm ok thanks! Ha ha I started talking to a group of three saying hey man we'll be back made a price got them off our back and obviously didnt go back ha ha!
When we did find a bunch of tiny little random, I mean Random meat/ markets that are very small and one after another we were able to get noodles, some sauce, a can of salmon Ha ha and some wierd bread! Oh yea a two cheap beers!
We went back and waited for some people to finish up with the kitchen and cooked our cheap cheap meal! When we finish a girl named Tiffany came in and she's a very nice girl that'd pretty conservitie and is studying in Florence!
She ate with us and it was nice! After dinner we did some dishes hung out in the lobby for a bit, then I headed up to grab my clothes and didn't even take a shower so I rocked my laundry out fit all night and headed up for the sky bar!
It was nice I met a cool girl that was teaching kids English in Spain and had a lot to say! I've met a lot of people at this hostel but I'm slacking on the pics with them ha ha! What ever can get it all..
Anyways I had a couple beers and got called out for not going out with a small group of people, I just wasn't feelin to go out and drink more at all, it's expensive and I made plans with Tom, Emily, and Matt for a big walk in the morning!
So I went to bed slept pretty good, except Ive been haveing crazy dreams where I feel like I'm talking in my sleep and making ab ass out of myself... But no one ever says anything idk it wierd ha ha..
But anyways lol
I got up took a shower and was ready by 9:30! I was just about to got to the lobby and emily cam up to my room and was like Zack are you ready? And I said yea I'm just gonna have a little breakfast and we'll go!
She was like well were waiting..
Ok... Well we talked about leaving at ten but you guys should just go cause I'm gonna enjoy my breakfast and I love walkin alone so no big deal!
Shes like well I really wanna wait but today's my last day so we made it 9:30 I want to get it all in..
I was like ok well its 9:35 so you better get going!
ha ha it was kinda funny!
But really I like putting in my head phones and doing my own thing and taking good pictures and stuff!
So I went and had breakfast and ended up chatting with Kate this girl that I always give a hard time ha ha she's fiesty! Lol
But she ended up taggin along with me to the top if the giant hill in Athens where you over look everything!! It was a hike! But well worth it!
Theres a little church on top and it's just really really cool!
After getting a little sweaty and feeling the wind at the top awwww it was a nice feeling!
When when Kate and I were about to head back down, we ran into Tiffany!
So we made plans to walk with her and it ended up working out! We all waked back Down together and went to the olpympic stadium! I had an orange off the orange trees that are every where on the way! :) mmmm people say dont eat them but what ever its nature and its and orange!
The stadium Is really big! I'm pretty sure that's were the olmympics were in 2004!
After that we ended up going to zeuses temple! It was just tiffany and i cause kate had already been there and i guess she didnt want to go agian.
That was really cool! Only a little bit still remain but WOW! I loved it!
After zueses temple Tiffany and I walked back towards the hostel and talke ld about a lot! It was a very nice walk!
when we got back near our hostel we looked for a bite to eat and then just ended up goin seperate ways. I was headed to the train station by metro and she was headed to walk through a big park!
So off to the train station I went! I made my way thro thru the very crowded metro, and found the staition no problem!
I didn't have an exact plan of where I was going I just had ideas and options! But i walked out with a train ticket that leaves tuesday to kalambaka, which is very close to a place called meteora, which is supposed to be beutifle! There our Many churches built right on the edges of giant cliffs, and should be worth seeing for a day or so!
Then I think it's off to Albania! Idk, I really really want to see instabul! I talked alot about it and it could very well happen!
So I back at the hostel now I have two more nights in greece and I'm lovin it!
The weathers beutifle, maybe a little to hot for Zack..
Ive seen some amazing things and might spend tomorrow at the beach!
I miss home so much tho I may have another month but I'm ready to see every one I love and miss so much!
Hope everybodys doin good!

Had a nice time with the brazilians! And a kick ass first night in munich!

Ok!
  so after I updated my last blog Lucas, Pedro, and I walked around bratislava! We went to a nice little park and hung out for a little bit and then started making our way towards the castle!
    It was far far the hostel and it was a very nice day so the walk was awsome!
      Over looked the city and walked around all parts of the castle! 
     Then we walked by the palace which was a nice looking building!
   After walking in the heat for a couple hours we were hungry and ended up going to a locals restraunt type of deal and got this mushey plate of something that wasn't good at all... It was cold actually, so I was kinda bummed on that.. Because he was going on and on about how great it was..
Any ways 
   we headed back and see what was goin on back at the hostel.. On our way back we passed an ice cream shop and everthings so cheap in Bratislava I had to have one!
    This was the best ice cream I've ever had! So I had another one ha ha! Mmmmmmm 
     1,20€ for a triple scoop ice cream! Yea give me a couple of those!
   So we all walked back and did some stuff on the computer! I booked a hostel and sent some couch surfing request! Oh yea and booked a flight Athens! 
   Then we all got kinda tired for some reason so i headed up for a nap and then around 9:30pm I grabbed a shower and then a beer!
     Our hostel had very cheap beer like every where else in bratislava but it was very livley.. Idk 
   So we went walking with our beers and  um fortiantly that was the most expensive beer I've had yet...
   We got stopped by the polizea and he asked for our passports and what not.. And charged us all 30€ each... I was trying everything!
   Like hey listen man, we just came from berlin and they were getting drunk in malls can you work with us, were sorry were sorry coorepertive, we dumped our beers and now we know! :) come on!
     I ten euros on me any way.. 
So I told him I didn't have the 30€..
   Ha ha and he said well... I suppose we can go to the police station and figure something out there but it will be more troubles and you can have some one pay by phone.. ya de ya de da..
     So I was like what ever i have a card all go to an ATM, so is there one near by?
   He said about 3 min walk down that street but we can take you, your call.
     Well seeing how Id rather not get into your slovakian police car all just take a nice little stroll to the ATM..
    So I did and he kept my pass port and I made sure I got that back along with my tickets for souvenier ha ha!
      I wanted to ask for a picture with them!
But just took one one as the were driving away...
   Any ways we shook that off and didn't let I ruin our night.. It's like what ever! Now I had 500 € fresh out of the ATM so let's go party!!!!!!
   We were right on front of a hostel with a bar when this happened so we went in and had some more drinks!
      We got three big beers for 3,30€ I was confused when he told me the price I thought for sure everybody owed 3,30€ this hostel was super cool with cool people and good music! So we stayed for a while then went to to a more up beat bar with a bunch of locals that were about our age!
  we started talking to these three girls and they were super cool! Untill some guy comes up and is like hey boys! Your not trying to swoop up my ladies are you?
     Well we were actually.. but now that your here and don't seem to be to happy about it I guess we'll just go have our selves a beer down stairs! Ha ha 
   He actually laughed and started being cool to us! The truth is always the best!
  he introduced us to his friends we ended up taking a picture and drinking together!
     I didn't see that happening at all but it was cool!
  so a group of us went to another bar and danced and had a good old time!
     Around 4 a.m I was done, the beers are too cheap and all do something I might regret if I don't head back.. Like now!
   So we all made it back and had to check out in the morning at 10:00 am..... Ughhhh
   I felt horrible but I was up and new I had to meet Lucas and pedro so I walked down to the lobby and checked out and layed on the couch waiting for them!
    I didn't want to move and I figured they'd find me..
Ha ha and hour later they come basically wake me up and there like there you are!!
      Uhhh I've been spraweld out on this couch for and hour, could you really not find me..
    So idk... They found Me we checked train schedules to Vienna and there was a train every hour! So hung around for a little bit then had the hostel call us a taxi that cost us four euros! Ha ha we talked a taxi driver down to fifteen tk get tothe hostel... I knew it was a rip off, but you gotta learn from your mistakes.. 
   So we caught a train at one and it was only about an hour an 20 minutes to vienna! 
    We arrived at one of the smaller train statons in Vienna, and our hostel was next to the west bonhouf which is the biggest I think? 
     We had to catch a tram to to the west bonhouf, and walk from there! Which normally would be no big deal but dam I felt soooo soo weak i don't know why.. Ha ha :)
     I was a getting a little irittable I'm no gonna lie cause the brazilians I love em to death but there just and always questioned me and wanted me to explain why were doin this, or going that way or or or.. Ha ha idk it probably was just cause the way I felt.. And they were very sluggish as well and I just started feeling like a tour guide idk.. But It made me realize how much I've learned about getting around with trasnportation, being trains, trams and busses! :)
      Any ways I got us to the hostel and we checked in and mosied up the room! I layed down real quick and just couldn't get up! Ha ha I needed a couple of hours of sleep!
     We all ended up taking a nap untill about 7 and I slept sooo good! Seriously I was confused when I got up.. Like I thought it was morning.. Had that guilty feeling like wow we jay showed up and slept and last night was the brazilians only night.. Ha ha.. Nope just slept for about 4 hours!
      When we all got showered and felt normal agian! It was tme to start the proccess over agian! Ha ha jk.. But seriously!
  it was a Sunday night in Vienna the brazilians wanted to got a club.. I honestly wasn't feeling it after I saw the price of a beer at the hostel...
     But we went walking down to the center area and it honestly felt like a host town.. It was soo quiet! Well besides a group of drunk woman in there fourties I'd say walking up to us and one gave me a hug, so I was huging her back and I look over and pedros hugging one and Lucas was just standing back ha ha!
   One of the ladies was taking pictures so inwas like f it! Let's make these pics fun for them! So I picked up this little woman and she screamed lol then smiled for the pic! I'm sure they were lovin that in the morning! Ha ha 
     And sadly... I didn't get a pic.. Lame...
But it's another memorie!
  so that gave us a little hope of maybe finding something goin on in Vienna on a Sunday night!
But...
   We found a restruant pub type of deal and saw that the beers were 5,90€....
     No I dont need to drink.. I hate to be a party pooper but my not on a four day trip like you guys I'm on a budget and have plenty of fun nights ahead! :)
     They agreed that it was pretty rediculous so we started heading back towards the hostel!
     When we got back to the hostel it was pretty cool! People were chillin in the bar and I got to talking to this guy from pakistan! He was a cool ass dude! I was talking to him about my travels and what's next, and I told him that I'm flying to greece and will make my way thru the balkins! Like albania, mosnia, Serbia, and what not! He said you Americans are crazy! Ha ha 
    I said why? He said cause you just are, and I would offer you to come visit me but the only way it could happen is in a suit case ha ha! I joked with him, like ok how bigs your suit case?
     Any ways that's when the night got exiting! The brazilians came down to the bar and with them and here comes Tusie the Pakistani guy with four shots of tequila!
   Ha ha this guy drank!
 we must of had six shots in the matter of thirty minutes then predro bought me a long island ice tea! So After I was feeling real good and hadn't spent a dime I figured it was my turn to share some love!
     I went to order four more shots ha ha and these girls said make it six! I said do have money? Ha ha 
     They laughed and i said make it six!! Woo hoo!
 then there was a another girl so we couldnt Leave her out!
Ha ha it called for a good picture! An awesome night!
     Tusie went to bed cause he had to catch a train a 6:20 in the morning ha ha I don't know how he did that but.... He did!
  so we hung out with these girls all night and it turned out to be a lot of fun! The bought me another drink and it was just bad ha ha!
     The next morning the guy said hey man your alive! And he explAined to me how I got to my room, lol!
    He said I was putting my door key on all the sensors to all the doors in my hall way and he ended up taking me to the right one! But it's confusing sober let alone the state I was in ha ha!
    Its bad when you wake up in you jacket, jeans, beanie, and shoes on....
      So the next morning wasn't fun what's so ever I had to check out with I was three hours late for.. Good thing! I needed that sleep for sure! 
     I booked another night because I reserved a train for the next day to Munich!
   Lucas and pedros flight got canelled because ofthe volcano crazyness... But the didn't want to stay.. They were trippen about missing more school..
     I was like it's breaking news all over Europe and your in the same boat as about 100,000 other people! Your teacher will under stand.. I think.. Ha ha 
      But they ended up gettin a train to Paris with four tranfers and then they Have to take the euro star to London which is expensive...
    A day of travelling at least! I hope they made it ok! They were confused getting from Bratislava to Vienna.. Ha ha
   All send them a message when I get off this train and to my hostel in Munich!
    So yesterday was mellow we walked around taking pictures and my camera died... Sad... 
      But I made up for it this morning..
 but yea we just walked around and saw the city during the day for the first time, and then grabbed some pizza from the store cooked that and ended up meeting some very pompous canadians... I'm not one to judge but they bothered me because they judged every one and always had something to say about some one or something...
     Ha ha this drunk guy stumbled in on one of there pool games and spoke no English but you could clearley get the point that he wanted to play a game!
     So after about five minutes of these canadians giving this guy shit I called next game with the drunk guy! :) ha ha 
    They said oh I think were gonna be a while... 
    I said oh and why is that they said uhh because were having a tournament.. 
    I said well then it's gonna go for a litlle longer because see that sign right there thAt says... Table must be given to new players upon order of request...
     Ha ha so there was four of them and we we waited for the other two to play and went on with are game and gave the table back!
      I lost agianst this drunk Italian ha ha but it was fun!
After Lucas and pedro took of on there seven o clock train I just kinda hung out and did some Internet randomness.. And found out that Im meeting up with three fellow couch surfers in Munich! Yea!
     Im glad I got a hostel tho because all probably go out with them then come back and just crash or relax!
     I ended up hanging out with the Dereck for a while and chatting with him about all sorts of stuff! 
    Then the girls came and invited us to play drinking games, with the canadians that just talk about them selves and other people.. So I didn't join them for a while, but after the second invite I did.. Dereck came over and sat down as well and right off the bat they gave him shit.. 
    I bought a small beer for two euros cause the girls and apparently the Canadians were off to Amsterdam in like an hour and a half on A night train, and I wanted a mellow night any ways!
   After an hour of talking about just random stuff and listening to all the reasons the canadians are glad there not American, it was time for them to leave..
     The one girl in the group and I got along really good, she told me she didn't like those kids either.. But there all goin to Amsterdam together.. Idk 
     But I gave her a hug, and said bye to the rest!
 oh yea and cleaned a big mess with dereck that the guys were to cool to clean up.. 
      Dereck was leaving daly and offered to by me a beer before I headed off to bed.. So I said why not..
     He bought us both a liter ha ha but we drank it slow and talked! He's a cool kid! 
     You can tell he's conservitive and thinks I'm a little nuts but that's ok... 
    He says crappy all the time ha ha or when something is good or cool he say oh that is the crap! Ha ha random I know but it was just funny!
      Then I don't know how it happened bit he went a little preacher status on me but remained very open minded on our different views just like myself.. So we ended the night talking about religion ha ha!                     
    I must say he has read his fair share of the bible!
But any ways that brings us to this morning!
   I woke up and ten feelin good! I walked around with my juggeling stick which I always love to do! Took pictures to make up for yesterday when my camera was dead!
      Went the store and bought a bunch of fruit for the train ride and I'm making a plan to strat eating better, and cheaper!
     I talked to his kid in the lobby for a while and then headed out for my train at 2:20!
    Now I'm on the train! And still about an hour from Munich!
    When I get to my hostel I'm gonna update this blog and meet the girls I talked to on couch surfers!
       So All let you know how it all goes!!!
    First day and night in Munich!
    ....... I didn't have time to update yesterday because, I got to  my hostel at about seven thirty and I found out that the plan was that i was going to meet these girls at the spring fest which is like a smaller version of the October fest!
     We planned to meet at 7, 7:30, and 8 hoping one of thoses would work.. So I checked in tooled a quick shower and walked at a quick pace to the spring fest and met them no problem three minutes to eight! It was perfect!
     So I ended up hanging ou with these four girls that were super cool and we drank and danced on the tables in a giant tent! Is was awsome! Three liters later I was jumpin from table to table ha ha I was lovin it!!
      Then betty walked with me back to my hostel and Stephanie took the other two girls laura and hilary back to her house cause, Stephanie was hosting them!
    This morning was rough, but I got up took a shower and checked out!
      Then I went to claim my free breakfast for staying at two wombat hostels! There's three one in berlin, one in Vienna and one in Munich!
       What to get if you stay in all three? A free tee shirt...
No thanks! I'd rather have the breakfast! Then slept in th hammock in the chill area for about two hours! :)
   I met this black guy that was in my room last night, and he was kinda wierd besides him basically telling me everything I had to do before I got in the shower this morning.... he wanted me to go everywhere with him.. First London, then just to the airport to check his flight status.. Then we wanted to come to the train station with me.. Then breakfast.. 
    I was no no no man I'm sitting right here and not moving! I've got some stuff to catch up on..
         He finally went to the airport and I started chatting with this Canadian girl, and Now were gonna go walk around!                 So I'm for sure putting this blog on line right now!!!
 
 I miss everybody!
         
       I miss my family, friends, the purple bean, fresh mex, Jimmy johns, duke, and my sweet Volvo ha ha                 

Last day in Slovenia, a kick ass two days in Budapest and now Bratislava!

My last full day in slovenia was pretty mellow!
I drank my coffee yesterday, and walked to the store to try and find some food because you only other option is pretty much pizza in bled... The pizzas really good but I've eaten so much pizza in the last week! And it's not by the Slice.. Ha ha I've been eating whole pizzas! But I'm not huge yet So i don't think it's a problem!
Any ways the store didn't have anything good with out having to cook.. But that wasn't an option..
So I ended up finding this little restruant kinda tucked away! It was really good and reasonble! I got some breaded pork with fries and they gave me a big basket of bread that they let me take away!
After I was good and full I headed to the bus station to check schedules to get back to ljublijana! The busses left just about every hour so it was no big deal or stress on when to leave!
I new daćo worked at four so I figured I'd say bye to him and catch the 4:30 bus!
So that's exactly what I did, dačo was kinda bummed that I was leaving and kept talking about meeting in stuggart.. Dačo is a super cool dude! But I don't know if I'm ready to be back in bled on tuesday ha ha! But gave the bar a post card from reno and I left dačo a shot glass! He was so stoaked and everyone else love the post card and it is now hanging on the wall!
It was 4:20 and time to walk to the station! I caught a bus down to ljublijana and it was raining, and I needed to make a plan, on where I was going or staying and what not!
So after my hour bus ride I walked into the train s
Station and asked about a reservation to Budapest! And apparently I don't need one! That's nice!
So after that I just kinda started walking.. My mission was to find wi-fi actually, cause I had a good feeling I could stay at katas or annas house for the night!
I was hungry agian so my mission resorted to food ha ha!
I ended up walking by the store that I went to before in ljublijana and I ended up getting a whole pizza for 3,10€ so what ever one more pizza won't kill me..
I sat down to eat the pizza but it burnt the he'll out of my tounge so I decided to walk it back to the hostel I stayed at before.. And maybe I could sit on the patio and cath some wireless!
When I got there for some reason my itouch wasn't liking the connection so I just ate my pizza and used the code that was still the same to go into the hostel!
The guy that was working was really cool and remembered so he had no problems with mr using the computer!
I hopped on my email, face book, and couch surfers!
I came to the conclusion that I could stay with Anna or kata! So I sent them both back a message and Anna was quick to reply! So we planned to meet at 7:30 which was only in about 40 min!
BEAUTIFLE!! I saved money on a hostel and ended up havin a cool night with Anna!
We Hung out at here house for a while, I met her flat mate which was cool! He was funny ha ha and had a laugh that I couldn't forget even if I tried..
Anna had been talking about a vegan dinner at the sqaut Whig was a really cool ghetto looking part of town, and it was obvious she wanted to go! Soni said well let's just go check it out! I can't honestly say I've been to a vegan dinner..
so we walked down there and saw a couple small groups and went up stairs into this lounge type place and there was about fifteen kids and three pieces of carrot cake... I honk we were a little late..
Ha ha I didn't mind at all! Jk it was pretty cool!
we stayed for maybe about fifteen min and left! It seems likens cool little gig tho.. They do something every night for the most part and just hang out I guess.. And do vegan stuff ha ha!
Im sorry I just cant even understand the thought of being vegan.. But that's whats makes the world go round! The diversity in people!!
When we got back Anna made me a bed on a nice little mattress, and we went to bed! It took about thirty minutes because Anna likes to talk ha ha and I was sooo tired.. But she's so cool I couldn't tell her just to stop talking so we could go to bed and wake up at like 5:30!
But she finally just kinda said ok all let you sleep, good night and all see you in the morning! Yay! :)
Ha ha
When we got up she made cereal and tea and walked me to the train station! She is such a thoughtfull girl! And an amazing couch surfer host!
I cleaned up the little bit there was to clean up! That was the least I could do! And then we were on our way!
We got to the train station at about 6:35 and my train was there so I gave her a giant hug and got on the train!
The train ride is kinda long and I don't get a sleeper... Cause it's a day train.. But the trains empty and I laid accross the seats which I wasn't sure abou cause I've been yelled at for that...
But everybody on this train hasn't cared ha ha they just wake me up and check my pass!
I slept for about 3 and half hours then dozed off agian a little bit later!
It felt nice to get some more shut eye! And it kinda makes the train ride go faster!
Im still on the train and it's almost three.. I'm sooo thirsty and they don't have any drinks on this train.. I should have figured it out by Now to carry liquids with me! But whatever all be there soon enough! I think.. I always get a text on my phone when I enter a new country and I got the one for hungry like an hour ago so idk...
But that's pretty much it so far! I'm out of Slovenia and movin on! I'm looking forward to seeing Lucas in Budapest! I think it's gonna be a good time!!
All update when I get to my hostel, and out of this small square room!

Getting off the train after ten hours was pretty much amazing! Ha ha an at the same time a little over whelming, but nothing to crazy!
I hopped on a bus and got off at the station I was told by the information stand at the train station, and once agian I wound up with a random guy that helped me get to my hostel! Ha ha that Seems to be my style idk how it happens but it just does!
I showed him the paper that the information people gave me, and he said no I don't think that's right...
So he completely changed the plan I had in mind and I really don't this guy new where he was going!
But after asking like three or four different people in hungarian for me, ha ha we got there! and i got another pic with another random dude! and we are officially friends on face book!
when i walked thru the hostel door the staff was super cool and welcoming! i was thinking nice George made a good call! Thanks George! the back pack guesthouse baby! it had one of the best atmospheres out of any hostel Ive been to! could have used a better crowd but it was fun!
i asked the guy at the reception if a lucas fernadez had checked in? and he said oh yea a very nice brazilian man oh yes, and his friend its his birthday! i was i didnt know that ha ha tonight is gonna be a good night!
i sat down to have a beer and started talking to one of the staff members and he was from Australia! it was funny cause we were talking about bled and he mentioned the guy at the castle that i juggled the devil sticks with! i showed him the picture of us and pat (the guy working the hostel from austraila) was like yea yea thats him lol!
what a small world its so crazy!!!
but any ways pat went back to work and i drank my beer with some Canadians and an Australian couple Scott and hiedi! i guess Scott proposed to hiedi earlier that day which is cool!
after my second beer and about an hour later Lucas and Pedro came back to the hostel! it was cool seeing Lucas again, and that was the first time i met Pedro!
we drank some more beers! i was tired and thinking about just having a mellow nigh, but that was absolutely no longer an option!
so i hopped in the shower and we ended up going out in a big group! like ten people! pat kinda led the way to this bar we all sat around and bull shitted over some beers! it was nice but after a while it just got a little to slow! its pedros b day! we gotta step it up about ten notches!!
i asked pat where a club was and he said theres one close but you wont find it...
so i said pedro, lucas lets go!
where we going?
to a club a good one where we can dance and possibly talk to some Hungarian ladies! :)
do you know where it is?
uhh yep pat just told me its easy ha ha!
so we left and i asked and asked and asked and then found this club that is tucked in an Allie way and up many stairs!
we drank the local Hungarian shot with this girl that i met and that kinda changed the night ha ha! wow!! can we say strong!
we danced and partied till the sun came up and i have some fun pics with a random Hungarian girl! you know drunken moments!
i kinda lost lucas and pedro when the security guard kicked every one out.. and i ended up walking back at six in the morning in the rain with this girl.. wtf
we stopped at this bus station to get out of the rain for a minute and here comes lucas and pedro walkin down the street! ha ha i started laughing my ass of! we were far from the club at this time!
so i said by to this girl, and shes like will i ever see you agian?
i was like well probably not i live kinda far from here but i have an email?
and i was right i never saw her again! ha ha but she did send an email!
so i started walking with down the street and i was going the complete opposite way of the hostel ha ha! its a very good thing i ran into lucas and pedro!
so we made it to the hostel! and went to bed around 7 a.m!

we slept till about 2 in the afternoon.. and got up to shower and get ready! everybody at the hostel was talking about the night before and for some reason heard about me and this girl.. i was like what?
there like tell us the whole story come on zack, what really happened?
uhhh we danced for like 4 hours and she ended up helping me get back to my hostel, but didnt even go all the way back to the hostel... that's what really happened ha ha!
any ways that called for some awkward moments...
the pictures are funny tho!

so it was time to eat!! so Lucas, Pedro, and i walked to micky d's... WHAT EVER...... Im just not a fan of greasy shit after drinking all night..
so we ate and i immediately felt worse but what do ya do..
we walked a lot which was nice except for the constant rain and the fact that the screen on my camera stopped working back at the hostel...
so i was on the verge of buying a new camera.. i have to take pictures!
luckily i didnt find a place that had any reasonable cameras.. because when i charged my battery back up my screen started working agian! i was soooo happy!! but i didnt get many pics of Budapest because of this problem,... i hope to go back tho! so we'll see! i took pictures with a blacked out screen and when i ws able to see them they were ok.. but not great ha ha!
any ways after about six hours of walking in the steady rain we made our way back to a super market and bought stuff for spagetti and headed back to cook at the hostel! i was elected to cook this spaghetti, which i dont think Ive ever done before but Ive seen it done enough times to make it work!
we did good for how much we spent! we got meet, noodles, sauce, cheese and bread for like 3,000 forints! thats cheap! and we had left overs after feeding scott and hiedi as well!
we ended up having a little hookah sesh which is all provided by the hostel, and you sit in a chill room with couches and what not!
then Scott and hiedi took off to catch a night train to Romania!
we played drinking games with this Canadian kid! ha ha i don't remember his name but he was funny.. in a goofy way! ha ha if you know what i mean!
we drank quite a bit and then made the random decision to got to a strip club.. i was a little out numbered i said it was gonna be girls hounding us for private dances and topless girls on a stage with old men sitting around..
and thats pretty much exactly what it was.. ha ha i was filming.. stupid me and this girl came up and said no no no... and put the camera down my shirt lol! it adds character to the video tho ha ha!
so we kind of ended our night there, because the canadian had to get back for a hocky game that was gonna be on at 3 a.m... i was like really!!!
do candians get that excited over anything else.. hockey is literally there life! like i think if there grandpas funeral was on the same day as big game that would be a tough decision.. its bad... there kinda nutty when it come to that i think..
but any ways! i slept like a baby and could care less about a hockey game!
hockey game..... sleep? uhhh yea sleep!!
we woke up around noon and packed up because we were heading out to Bratislava! in slovakia!
i cooked some left over spaghetti and made some hard boiled eggs! a huge free breakfast i loved it!
we ended up heading to the train station around 2 pm to catch a train at 3.28 pm!
we got our tickets, my pass didnt work for slovakia so i i payed 4,400 forints which isnt bad at all..
so now we just had to wait..
ha ha i walked by this guy and he tapped me on the shoulder and he pointed to a chess board, i said yea man all play! im not good, acyually i really dont like chess at all but lets go!
he puts 100 forints down ha ha and i had no money.. but pedro stepped in and said i bet on you man! lol are you sure?
ok....
i did a lot better than i thought i would tho! i think he beat me in five or six moves..
ha ha pedro's like really, its over...
uhhh yea pretty much!
i couldn't even tell the guy good game... i mean come on...

we went to look at the schedules for the train and our train was a half hour delayed...
so we went out front and just hung out on the front steps for a while.. and when we were sitting there this guy asked me what time it was, so i pulled out my phone and told him, but all he wanted was to buy my phone ha ha..
i almost sold it! he was gonna buy it for a hundred euros! looking back i probably should have! then he asked Lucas and Pedro if they had anything to sell.. and they said no!
when the train finally got to the station we were walking to the train and this guy asked for our tickets then grabbed lucas's bag and walked it to our train compartment and then put all of our bags up on the rack's! i was thinking dam what a cool guy hungarians are friendly peeos! then he asked for money ha ha!
lucas gave him 100 forrints which isnt much and he said ugh no.. more more,...
what??
he said i do dis for you! i need coffee come on!
we have no money man!
show me your wallet!
im not showing you my wallet! are you serious!
now i need to see wallet!
ok man all show my wallet and then you leave! so i pulled out my hand dandy fake wallet and said see no money! GO!!
he said i no leave until you give me little more.. i said ok well your gonna end up in bratislava! lol
he said no no no
yea yea yea this train leaves in eight minutes ha ha
and he walked out and slammed the door! lol
pedros like he's crazy guy!
any ways the train ride was cool we just chilled and listened to music!
the train rides are soooo pretty too! i can just get lost starring out the window!
i also got a chance to reply to angies awesome email!! i love you Angie!!

when we got to the train station we ended up just getting a taxi! its easy with three people just to split it and get there!
this hostel is cool but the check in process was intense! ive never seen anything like it in my two months of traveling.. really!
so like twenty minutes later we finally got our key! and im in a different room than pedro and lucas.. but what ever!
we went to our room put our stuff down and met back in the lobby!
we had a beer at the hostel then headed out and walked around! and actually ended up at another hostel bar! it was cool! really good music! the cheapest alcohol on the planet! like really! we got three huge beers and three shots of 70% absinth for 10,50!! yea!!! were gonna have a good night ha ha!
and you dont get your own beers everything is bought to you by one of the two bartenders that speak no English, but there soo cool!
after we left there with a good buzz we ended up going back for one more beer after that it kind of became an early night! but thats ok!
i was talking to these guys from the uk and pedro and lucas could understand the quick English talk so they kinda just chilled on the couch and laid back! at that point every one was to tired to go out!
i laid back on this couch when the British kids went to bed, and luckily Pedro woke me up or else i would have woken up in the lobby ha ha!
i slept like a baby and was up at about ten a.m!
i came down to the lobby to have a coffee and catch up on my blog! its a little time consuming but the further you get behing the harder it is!
plus pedro and lucas hadn't come down yet so it was a good chance just to type away!!!
now i am all up to date!!!
tonight is our last night in Bratislava, and its off to Vienna, Austria next! its very close to here!
from Vienna i don't know what im gonna do, its back to traveling solo, so it what ever when ever!
i miss everybody so much and ever picture i take and new story i have to tell makes me want to be back and catch up sooooo much..
the DVD is gonna be fun! ha ha

Travelling solo, you really NEVER know what's next! And I love it!

Soooo I didn't end up going down for a beer after my nap.. I got a soda and walked through the rain for about 20 minutes in search of food! I swear I eat way to much... That's half my budget ha ha! But when I'm hungry I have to eat! 
   Any ways after getting soaking wet and walking for a while I had to settle some pizza meet pocket thing that wasn't that good at all but at 11:30 in a town of 6,000 people your options can be limited....
    Any ways I came back and went to bed, because I knew I had a pretty full day ahead of me because Id be up untill my train left at 2:28 a.m and then have to plug through the train until 9:45 am..
    I woke up early cause of my long nap and good night sleep!
I came down for a coffee and met a new worker at the bar! Her name was Petra! She's cool!
     I chatted with her for a while then went and took a shower and came back down to chill!
       Dačo ( the owner of bar) offered to drive me to ljublijana!
He'll yea! Why not! 
      People were kinda suprised that he offered that ha ha but we got along good! He's cool people ha ha!
It was nice day! I ended up walking around the lake and it was a nice walk! 
I got a little sandwhich from the store and started treckin!
  of with my stick and head phones!
In about the middle of my walk the end of my stick flew off, and about five minutes later I realized I was still missing a price of leather on the end...
  so i walked a bakto the spot and there was the leather piece I needed right there!
   Then I was hungry agian and went to a nie little kabob shop where I have Gone a couple times and got to chatting with the guy, And he's really cool just like most Slovenians 
     So we ended up driving Down to Ljubljana around 6:30 pm ha ha and petra told me oh your goin with dačo you won't make your train.. I was like ha ha what do you mean by that?
  she said well if he orders a glass of wine just remember what I said..
   Ok ha ha we'll see how it goes! 
Dačo called one of the girls that works at the bar and asked of she wanted to come down and hang out with us untill the train! She was in so we picked her up on the way!
   And let the road trip begin ha ha!!
We got to ljubljana in about 45 minutes an went to catas house ( the girl we picked up) she lives in Ljubljana but was at her parents house in bled!
   Any ways she dropped her stuff
And we walked into the city center which wasn't very far from catas house!
    We went to a bar ordered a round cata and dačo ordered wine, I started with beer!
    After the first round we got up and walked around and looked for a nice place to sit inside cause it was raining and getting a bit cold...
   After walking around for ten min we walked right back to where we were and just sat inside ha ha!
   Another round! And after another bar! We went to a place called guiness after!
    So I had to order a guiness! It's been over two months, and when I took my first sip my mind flooded with Ireland memories, and of course my amazing sister Feesh! I want to have a guiness with fresh right now actually!
   Mmmmmmmm I love me some guiness!
    Any ways dačo had some old friends show up and they were awesome ha ha!
  maja is crazy ha ha and she insisted we go to her house and hang out so I could get a shower and more drunk lol!
   So after that was the plan we bought three bottles of wine ha ha and grabbed a cab back to Dačo's car to get my stuff and then took the cab to maja's! The girls cooked dačo and I some of the best spagetti i've ever had! Mmmmm I want more right now!
   Then after the third bottle of wine was emty, it was about two a.m!
   They didn't want me to go and were trying to convince mr to stay, and reschedule... Well idk what they because it worked I was drunk and looked at the clock and said f it!
   Thats the beauty of traveling solo!
 we went to bed about four and woke up around noon! Ha ha maja didn't go to work... And blamed it on me ha ha!
   What ever! 
Maja is super cool tho all for sure keep in touch with her! 
    And she offered me a place to stay in ljubljana before my train to Budapest!!
  ha ha a very nice offer but I have a hostel booked in Budapest, I must get there!
   Ive been in Slovenia for over a week now!
   So that day dačo and I drove back to bled lol!
   And when I got back with dačo, people were like WTF ha ha your not leaving bro just hang out!
   Summers just around the corner, we'll make it work!
   Slovenias cool and the people kick ass but I want to travel!
   When I got back to the hostel I booked a night stay and Hollie gave me a discount on the room, for returning lol! This time I'm the only one in the hostel! 
   I think it's halarious! I feel like the whole up stairs is mine! :)
   When I got my room I showered ordered a pizza ate it and went to bed!
   Ha ha I got back up around 5:30 pm and went to a local pool hall with dačo and his buddy! They kicked my ass but I learned some new tricks! We drank and played pool it was a cool mellow night!
   When we finished up we headed back to the hostel/ local bar/ dačo's bar ha ha and had a few more drinks!
   I got to talking to some locals from bled and they were cool! One has travelled quite a bit and ended up buying me a shot! Slovenians will go out of there way to make sure your having a good time! 
I did meet this group of Slovenians that gave me some shit about America, it was six agianst one but I held my own ha ha!
Dačo kept coming out to the patio saying Zack everthing cool? I was of he'll yea I love it! Ha ha these in educated drunks talkin out there ass, an kept saying but were just kiding... You know that right?
I said no you guys sound real serious to be kidding... Then one of the kids that was really cool had to go and said good luck with this man..
but Id keep asking them questions they couldn't answer and it was just funny I guess! Ha ha
Eventually I was over the debate and the kids asked mr if I had a facebook before I went inside lol so I gave it to them but i'm nit to sure that all be keeping In touch ha ha!
   Then petra sent me a message saying she was coming to have a beer! :) yay!
Ha ha she's a qt and I wish I could get to know her a little better!
   So that was fun! I ended up going to bed when the bar closed and I woke up this morning around 9:45 and I missed a chance to skype with my momma which bummed me out...
   Because it's been over a week.. And I have sooooo much to say!
   But now I'm here talking with the bar tender and having my morning regular! Extra hot latte with coco on top! 
   I think the plan is to head back to ljublijana today stay some where weather it's with Anna, cata, maja, or a hostel! Idk 
   Ha ha I have to catch a train to Budapest tomorrow morning! No matter what!
    So I got to figure that out! But for now in gonna enjoy my coffee and maybe go on a hike! 
    Dačo wants me to meet him at four to make plans about me meeting him in stuggart, Germany and then driving back to bled with him lol!
   Idk about all that but you never know!
     But you'll know when I know!
 love you guys!
           And miss you More and more every day...
                     

Last day in Ljubljana and first night at the lake!

Yesterday morning I saw aliosha again and I joined him and his girlfriend for breakfast 
  ps this happened before I wrote my last blog I just had to cut it short because I was running out of time to meet Anna! 
  so any ways aliosha and I got to talking and he asked mr about what I thought about 9 eleven which was random but interesting! I told him how I felt, which is plane and simple either it was an inside attack or people let it happen or America is flat out not a strong ad for sure not the strongest country in the world! He agreed and we ended up watching a YouTube video on it and let turned into a YouTube marathon! Ha ha we whatched soccer players high lights, the highest dive, the biggest cliff dropped on skis, the biggest wave surfed, and giant sharks!
Ha ha all while I was trying to type my blog!
   But it was cool and he's an awseome dude so it was all good!
    So when I finally finished typing my blog I headed up stairs to pack and take a quick shower! I was packing in my boxers an md had my close laid out and everything else packed! Ever since the Switzerland girls left I felt like I was the only one in the hostel!
    When i put on my close and my jacket I realized I still had the key to the bike lock in my pocket and I had already paid for just my rooms, cause the reception guy working was leaving!
     Yea and he left, so I just put the key on the door and and slid five euros under the door! I didn't have anything to write a note but I thought they would get the point!
   When I walked out there was two def guys waiting out side    For some one to show up ha ha and they seemed exited see me, from the little sighn laungauge I understand ha ha!
So I opened the door for them with the code that I wish I had the first day when I got in at 6 10 and waited till 8 to get in...
   They were very happy to get inside and at least use a computer! I know that feeling as well!
    I walked to the center with all my stuff to meet Anna!
I was there for about two minutes and already started thinking... Watch she's no gonna show up and be like yea that's how it feels! Ha ha but there she was we gave each other a hug and she offered to carry my bag, and we were off! And yes I carried my own bag!
       She took to this cool ass part of town that I'm really bummed I didn't find earlier! There's a hostel that used to actually be a small jail where the mayor was locked up in for eight days and everything is tagged and just crazy! So around the corner from that we went into this little place and got a coffee that she incisted to pay for but I won that battle! And we sat on this colorfully deck on these nice little pillows and talked unill about four before I had to eat! Time flew with Anna! She is really one coolest person to talk to! It was awesome! We talked about the weather once and that was thru couchsurfers ha ha!
     Shes just super easy to hit It off with and we had soooo much in common it was crazy actually!
    We left there and ended up going to a flalawful place and I got one with meet, and she's a vegan! But she was right it was really good and Im glad she took me there! We ate our food by the river and chatted even more! And we ended up seeing the craziest thing! It was actually kind of sad....
But there was a mom with a bunch of baby ducks and every one was like awwwww! Me included! Ha ha and all of a sudden here comes a mallard like greenish guy duck obviously and the mom duck started moving away with its beak open and looking back and you could tell the duck was scared... And this male duck grabs the mom and starts biting it's neck and pushing it's head under water and just hurting the mom... After like two minutes of this I thought the duck was gonna die no joke... And the male duck gets on the female still biting it and being very rough and start humping her, it was out of control.. It was a case of rape.. 
   You guys are probably thinkin why is he even explaining this but no! It was crazy and the babies were just confused and people were filming it.. I felt like some one should help the duck but what do you do...
      Anyways it was a shifty day to have a dead battery in my camera... I got now footage of the duck rape, no picture of the cool plae Anna brought me, and no picture with Anna...
 but I have Sunday to get pics of he place she brought me and were gonna try and meet up if she's not gone with her friend that's going to Africa, and I don't think all ever catch the whole duck scene agian....
    But there all memories!
By that time it was a little after six and the busses leave to lake bled every hour so we headed back to the bus station which wasn't far! And they said we had about 40 min so we went and had a drink she had coke I had hieneken! She doesn't drink! And is twenty four and never been drunk! Go girl go! Annas cool people ha ha!
It's funny cause I told her about that random girl going to get ice cream and coke, well she wast surprised at all! Ha ha that's just how these people are! And when wasn't eating there ice cream she Some people would think your to good to eat with them.. Ha ha it's cool!
Any ways,  
  I pulled out my phone when I finished my beer and I had six minutes to catch my bus.. But we Wernt to far!
 then... when we were on the other side of the street waiting for the crosswalk to turn green we watched the bus I needed leave right at six! I mean on the dot! Ha ha Anna was like Zack omg I'm soooo sorry.. I was like it's not you fault, I guess I'm just leaving at seven! You know all get to the lake in the pitch black find my hostel hope for a receptionist and if none of those happen you see my sleeping bag all be good!
   Ha ha whatever!
So we walked back to my hostel to send an email to the hostel to let them know I'm arriving later.. And then tried to to call and got no answer... So we'll see! 
     I saw aliosha and his girl friend and introduced them to Anna! SAid by to the girl receptionis that was very nice she said she got the key and money! She was soo happy I did that!  
And walked quickly back to the bus station and at one point ended up running with all my stuff! And it 65 degrees at this time! I put my coat in my back pack all day! I feel summer comin on!
      So I caught this bus, And if I would have missed it well idk I might of just not gone at all...
    So now I'm on the bus typing this blog and it's getting dark and hopefully everthings goes good when I get there!
   And if it does all let you know how the rest goes and up date!
             To be continued......
Ok so getting off the bus was interesting.. Ha ha first I get almost get off at the wrong stop, cause there's two stops in bled and I asked the driver if this is were the hostels were and he said uhh i don't know... So i ok all get off!
   And this old lady said no and she spoke french but basically got the point across that it was the next stop! So I waited then this lady comes storming the ile with my itouch in her hand! I was like omg thank you so much!
    So I gave her fiftey euros cAuse that would have SUCKED!!
 ha ha no I didn't give anything but i couldn't believe it!
  then I get at the little bled bus station and when I'm getting out I my wallet fell out from where ha ha people were laughing..
    I started walking and asking people were my hostel was, It was pretty hard to find!
      And when I was was walking in front of the hostel were I ask for directions I watched this guy chase a baby goat and got it by kickin out it's legs like three times... The people were like awww noo..
     And the guy picked it up by the neck and carried it back.. I was holy he'll just keep walking!
     When I find my hostle I walked past it cause It looks like the locals bar! Oh well that's because it was ha ha you walk thru the bar and there's door to go up to the rooms! It's pretty crazy!
     So the olny other person checked into the hostel was another american, 42 years old named marti.. Ha ha
So I marti and i went down and had our welcome drinks which happened to be a shot of blueberry something I slammed  it and marti sipped on it! Ha ha the bar tender was like.. Dude it's a shot!
  and marti had his shot and went back up stairs..
So i started meeting the locals and one guy bought me a beer!
He was good and he said the only English he knew was from tv! We could tAlk a little bit!
     About an hour later there's about Twentie five locals at this bar to watch a boxing match!
  ha ha I was cheerin away for the slovanian dude!
I hadn't eaten all day and asked the Slovenian Dude where I could eat and he said don't worry you eat! You just wait you can eat! When I go home I show you!
  ok right on!    
  so when the boxing match was over I ended up leaving with this guy, and walking partly around the lake with a dam hood bus thinkin ok well this is the farthest from the hostel i've been but im sure I can get back... Ha ha 
    I found a good place to eat and he insisted on having one more drink.. Ok what ever! 
   He orders red bull all wisky... Uhhh I need to go to bed..
So when i did make it back after saying by to my buddie
I went straight to bed!
 marti was still awake, he asked me how drunk I was and I said not really that drunk! And then he laughed,..
   Any ways I woke up about noon and said good morning to Marti and he said actually it's about noon.. Ha ha ok good afternoon!
    I headed down to the Lobby and had two cups of coffee and had a lot of fun bull shitting with the bar tender!
  ha ha the guy I went out with came looking for me around ten! Ha ha kinda glad I slept in a little! 
   But after my coffee I headed out with my head phones and sticks and made my way up to the bled castle!
   It was a kinda over castes day but still so beuatifle and I just love nature regardless! You could get lost in mountians up here it's amazing!
    When I made it to the castle the veiws were amazing! And I met this guy that new how to play with the Luna sticks! He worked there and we ended play pass in the court yard of the castle!
    It was awseome! Then he took me the wine cellur and poured me a glass of wine and I hung out for a while!
  after the castle I hung out on the side of this giant hill in the mountians over looking the lake and typed some of my blog!
   When it to cold I headed down and ate a large pizza ha ha seriously I was proud of my self! They sat a Large pizza un sliced with a fork and a knife and I went to town on that thing! It makes it better that way actually! It's like a different meal when you cut individual bites!
     Ha ha then I was feemin stuffed and a little tired and headed back!
 I bull shitted with marti ha ha he's a funny guy! And then I ended up talking a nice three hour nap!
       Now I up and ready to go have a beer!
So I'm all up to date!
     
And I'm so happy I decided to come to the lake!
     Miss everyone!!!
                   Love you tons! 
   
  
               

Ljublijana!!!

sooo!
my first day in ljublijana was a little bit crazy just because of how i got into the city..
but after my nap and typinh my blog i headed out and mosied thru the city took pictures and got a feel for things! it didnt take long in ljublijana to get a feel for things, matter a fact this is the first city that i just havnt used the map in!
the map makes the city seem rediculously confusing, but when you have a picture memory like me! ha ha its super easy! jk but really i never felt lost and actually always felt quite comfortable no matter what the time or place!
i hiked up to the top of the castle which my head phones in and wow that was a cool hike! it made me miss hiking and when i think of hiking i think of my buddy duke! so duke if your reading my blogs i miss you and i promise were gonna go on a BIG hike when i get home!
When i got to the top it was just starting to get dark, which made the view even better!!
when i couldnt see anything but the city lights i thought it would be a good time to start heading down for a beer or something!
i had a beer at a really cozy out door pattio bar and typed some emails so they would be ready to send later!
I went back and got me a good night sleep! i figured out after traveling for two months that it is for sure a good idea to sleep for ten hours if you get the chance, becuase you never know when that next never ending party phase is gonna hit.. ha ha like paris!
theres not many people in the hostel im staying at.. which can be a good thing but also a boaring thing..
i woke up came down made some istant coffee, which im actually starting to like.. ha ha i need some purple bean!!
and the ONE AND ONLY PURPLE BEAN IS ROUGHLY 6,500 MILES WEST OF HERE...
i started talking to this couple from dresded and they were funny ha ha the wife was from japan so she was shy.. and then the girls came down that were staying in my room and sat down for some breakfast and wernt saying much.. so i was like so hows life in sweden! it got really quiet.. and nobody said anything.. so i was like it cant be that boaring, and there like oh us.. we told you that were from switzerland its ok a lot of americans confuse that which i cant understand.. lol.. oh well excuse me i was a little out of it when you told me that at after my three trains rides a and three hour bus ride later.. so hows life in switzerland!
they were kinda to them self..either that or they hated me, i never hung out with them once..

but the second day was mellow as well, but was fun because i brought my sticks!! i love my juggeling sticks and the looks you get from people! ha ha there either impressed, or wandering what is wrong with kid running with those "things" in his hand.
thats my exercise! a nice jog to the center while spinning my sticks to a good song!
so when i got to the center i just started havin a little fun throwing them way up practing some new moves, and a few people started crowding around! ha ha the center gets busy during the day and i got scared and packed up.. i dont know if i could do it for money.. there for fun not for show!
any ways i walked down the river passed all the outside bars and it was nice! i went to a part of town i hadnt been to yet and saw the roman wall! The roman wall was pretty dam cool! i got a picture of me spinning my sticks at the top of the giant prymid in the middle of it!
but there were people chillin on top of the wall cause its green grass and about six or seven feet wide!
slovenians are truely some of the most chill, friendly, laid back people i have met! really!
after the wall i walked to a super market and bought some cheese bread ham and cream cheese! mmmm sandwhich time!
it was funny cause i bought a crossant but it looked a little differnt then your average crossant so i asked the lady if it would be good for a sandwhich! ha ha she shook her head yes but didnt really understand i dont think...
when i got to the river to chill out and have my lunch i ripped the crossant open to make a sandwhich and it was filled with apricot jelly..
it called for an interesting mix thats for sure! ha ha but wasnt too bad.. the cheese bread with the ham and cream cheese after was perfect!
at this point i started feeling a little bit board.. i felt i have seen everything and didnt have many people to hang out with.. so i just kept walking and found a bar on a big patch of lawn so i sat for a hieneken with a lime! i randomly checked if there was wi fi and sure enough i was connected! it was cool to have a beer outside in the beuatifle day with internet access! i started chatting with chopper ha ha the black guy that worked at peace and love! sent some random messages and finished my beer and was on my way! hmmmmm what to do next?
thought about another hike to the castle but didnt end up doing that becuase i was really thirsty! so being on a budget i was wuick to think that the hostel has free water! so i was headed there! i walked by the modern art museum which seemed really cool but not exaclty worth paying to go in.. so i kept walking, not in the direction of my hostel cause i wanted to check out this big park! i juggled my way thru quite a bit of it and noticed some people that had put a strap between two trees and were tight rope walking! i walked up and starting talking with them but there english wasnt all that great so i let them get back to what they were doing!
but i got a picture of them before i walked up soo i will never forget the random tight rope walkers in the park ha ha!
theres parks inside of the park! its soo cool every one is just soo happy lovin the day walking there dogs or with there kids and a stroller!
ljublijana is kind of like amsterdam there bike lanes for the many people that ride bikes, theres a river with many bridges, and i often smell pot when i cill by the main part of the river! except theres a big difference slovenians respect tourist, and each other! i hung out with some locals and they were soooooo cool! all get to that tho!
any ways after the park i was past due for some water so i went back to the hostel had some water and hopped on face book and checked emails!
when i was on face book jesse minor boge sent me a message and it was cool cause i hadnt been able to talk to him much! so we tried skype on the copmuter i was using and i could see him and my other buddy nic which was funny lol, but there was no noise.. so we typed back and forth and laughed of course! ha ha i wanted to talk so i tried these head phones that the hostel had and i got it to were they could here me but i could here them. ha ha that was intersting talking to them seeing them but not being able to here them! i couldnt do that any more so i called on my itouch were we could talk but not see each other!
it was really cool catchin up with two of my closest buddies! it was moring at the time for them so we ended the conversation after about an hour so they could get on with there day and i could maybe find something to do in ljublijana during the night! during the week things are pretty mellow here.. but its ok i dont have to be getting hammered and blowing money! i sent a message to a girl named anna on couchsurfers to hang out with here and after that i ended up going to the super market and getting some random cheap stuff for dinner id save money and have something to do! i got a bag of twisted noodles, can of mixed vegies, can of mushrooms, a can of tomato sauce, and an onion!
i was planning on making it into two portions but that didnt work because i made way to much so just ended up making it all and luckily i had some plastic bags to save the rest! it turned out pretty good! for 5 euros i can eat three times im happy!
after dinner i was stuffed and thought hey why not another good night sleep!
went to bed slept well!
I woke up around 8 30 got a shower! by the way i love the showers here! just thought you should know that!
i got a message from my momma! and emailed her back, then got another message saying lets skype and i said hell yea! i was excited because it worked really good with my buddies and the last time my mom and i skyped was in prauge with a bad connection.. but for some reason it didnt work out.. she wasnt on i emailed a couple times and no responce..
What happend momma? did you fall back asleep, if so i cant blame you it was early for you..
but i also got an email back from anna and we planned to meet at 9 pm by the triple bridge!
i went down to the lobby had my instant coffee amd some breakfast and met a guy named aliosha! he was a really cool guy! he gave me his number and email incase i needed anything and we were gonna try and meet for a beer!
hes from here and was doing some advertising for the hostel!
he had to head out so i finished up what i was doing and decided that today instead of just walking around.. im gonna rent a bike for five euros!! hell yea!
i hopped on my bike and headed to the main train station to get a reservation to take the train to florence after my stay at lake bled! which im headed to today!!
i ended up booking a train for monday at 2 28 am.. ha ha i was like really thats my option.. ok all take it!!!
so im at the lake tonight and tomorrow then most likely wont get a room on sunday.. cause whats the point?
after i reserved my train tick i had something happen to me that is absolutly un called for and very well may have scared me for life..
warning this is kinda graphic and grose and gay and stupid and omg i cant believe it even happened but any ways im gonna go ahead and tell you..
so when i was booking my ticket this old man was very nice and kinda made his way right up to the window and i stepped back and let him go.. what ever im not in a hurry. so he speaks to the lady in slovenian gets his answer and walks by me pats me on the back and walks out.
so the lady finishes with me i got my reservation and i head out, and as im walking out the old man stops me and basically does sign language of would you like a drink! he speaks no english what so ever! none! so i nodded my head sure man all have a drink with you lol why not! guessing hes gonna pay for it i still pull out my wallet and what not, but he did pay for it!
so we sit down and it was kind of awkward.. we CANT talk to each other, so i pulled out my camera and started showing him pictures.. idk..
ps i got a picture with this very old man...
he kept taking his beer and filling my glass up... i was ok.. if your trying to get me drunk its gonna take a lot more than my pint and have of yours..
anyways he goes out side for a ciggarette and says he points and starts walking.. ok so im walking slowly with him.. like very slowly! and he kinda gives my hand a squeeze, i was ok this guys probably old and lonley and really appreciates my company even if i cant talk to him so im kinda like holding this old mans hand and walking with him.. of course i dont know where hes walking to and of course im not worried about it cause hes so old!
but this is the punch line he goes to the bathroom and keeps looking at me wierd?
i said me no have to go and made it clear that i didnt have to pee! so im buy the sinks you know giving him his privacy and he taps me on the shoulder with one hand and has his dick in the other.. i was the uhhh wtf! and he smiled and started doing the jack off motion!! OMG OMG OMG is this really happening WTF!!!!!!!!!!!
I told him NO!! and he grabbed my hand and tried to pull it down towards his ...
i pulled away and said im leaving! so i litteraly walked out at a fast as i could!
and knew there no possible way he would ever catch me and i was just in awww like what the hell was that!

when i found got my bike and tried to not let and 80 year old mans penis ruin my day i just rode towards the center!
the center is just poeple mosing around and i started to get tired!
and then started thinking why do i feel the on beer and some of his beer that i drank? i know i just had cereral this morning but this isnt right..
ha ha did i get rufied by this old gay man?
any way i went and ate something and headed towards the main part of the river where people hang out!
and i layed there for a while in the nice sun and just chilled! when i got up i noticed these two kids drinking a beer, so i went up started some conversation and asked them where i could get some beer close by!
and they ended up giving me a beer to drink! i was like right on, they were locals! the locals i was talking about earlier in my blog!
all of a sudden two more kids show up and i introduced my self and we just got to chatting!
this one kid was FUNNY! here was clearly the "leader" of the group or the guy that waould take over any table or conversation.. you know.
he randomly starts talking to this girl in slovenian lol and you can tell he doesnt know here! and then i hear my name amongst all the slovenian talk! ha ha and the other three boys start laughing and after like three minutes of them talking the girl gets up and comes over! ha ha he gives the girl some money and she leaves..
then i see here walking back with a gallon of ice cream and two liters of soda! i was like wtf!
and asked the kid do you know her? hes like no man im just very communicative or maybe just very cute ha ha no only kidding!
i didnt know what to say honestly, the girl just went back and sat next to her friend.
and he said so zack a girl would do that for you in america? and i was like well maybe some girls but know its not exactly common for a guy to ask a random girl sitting with her friend to grab a gallon of ice cream and coke from the nearest store ha ha. he said ok i see.. that is a problem my friend!
i said yea thats somethin all have to work on! ha ha
then he goes zack why are you not eating my ice cream? and i was like well i didnt exactly wanna just dig in with out asking or being offered. and he goes zack let me teach you something when dis bowl opens you must attack! or else no one is gonna leave any for you, ok! and i was well shit wheres my spoon? you have one in your lap i give you one already!
ha ha ok thanks man! so we all devoured this ice cream and shared the coke!
any ways i ended up hanging out with these kids for a couple hours! i locked my bike to a bridge and we drove up to the castle which was cool! They all got in back so i could sit up front, then we headed to a locals spot which was a small house boat that was being worked on and we played some foosball! wow i thought the brazilians were good! no.. these kids can play foosball!! it was unreal! and then the busted out a chess board! there very good at that as well!
the guy said now zack tell me what you think the chances are of us meeting a 19 year old american boy in slovenia and then hanging out with him? i was like well im sure you get your fair share of tourist, right? and he said wrong it is impossible! ha ha! in my life i never thought this would happen!
hes just crazy and hes from serbia!
then we ended up getting drunk all of us besided the crazy one that drove! and then the other three had to go so i went and ate with the crazy one and he dropped me off my bike!
i went back to the hostel and toltally forgot about my nine o clock meeting time with ana! oh shit!
well i didnt make it so i typed here a sorry letter and asked if we could rescedule for today! everything was good and a matter a fact i have about 40 minutes to get packed showerd and down to meet her! i cant not show up twice! thats not ok!
and i want good references on my couch surfer page not bad ones! like that ass hole stood me up twice!
