Time is kind of a funny thing. When you keep busy, time flies… but at the same time it could be said that Budapest feels like weeks ago.

After Budapest we took one hell of a long train ride to Salzburg. Going to be honest here: Salzburg was MUCH nicer than Vienna. We checked into our hostel around 6pm, just in time to have a quick bite and then watch “The Sound of Music”.

The next day we made our way down into Bled, Slovenia where we stayed at a family run hostel. Since the hostel was a bit far from the lake, they let us use their bikes to get there. We of course got lost and didn’t make it to the lake. Nice to be on a bike again though! The following day, they gave us a ride to the lake so we could see it, and then dropped us off at the train station. After 4 trains, 2 buses and a walk across the Slovenia/Italy border, we finally made it to Venice (area), where we got a cabin in Fusina overlooking Venice.

To our surprise, it was one big beach party. Complete with an old man singing and playing a keyboard guitar. Of course he played “I Want It That Way”… bringing back memories of Edinburgh. Over our two days in Funisa and Venice we met some really nice people from England, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and Canada (the best). On our second day we took a boat into Venice and got lost wandering around the narrow alley ways. Venice is absolutely gorgeous.

We are now on our way to Munich, Germany, where over the next couple days we will be travelling up the Rhine River before heading into Luxembourg.

Hard to believe our trip is half over already…
