Our mode of transportation today was walk to Budapest central train station, grab the train to Vienna, change trains at Vienna’s Hauptbahnhof (main station) for a regional train to Liesing; and there get on the bus to Breitenfurt to get off at bus stop to finish our trip by foot (approx 2/3 mile) pulling our luggage as we walked through the neighborhood. Travel is fun. LOL
But we met some great people on the first part of our trip, and had enjoyable talks.
After a while of staring at computer and phone screens, We all decided to put our electronics away and focus on some old fashioned interaction.
The friendships we are making along the way are very rewarding, and you learn so much about yourself on the journey of learning about others.
We are now Facebook friends and it is so cool to continue to learn and see them via the internet.
I will just mention their first names of Daniel and Lé, and here is sending you both many hugs.
Also got a smidgen worried when border patrol started walking the train because they had two possible refugees on board. It all turned out fine, but it is a very touchy situation in many parts of the EU. As our train friends explained, Hungary is responsible for making sure there are no refugees on the train to Vienna, as there is no border patrol.
Daniel and Lé, who travel this route often said, it is very common occurrence and taken quite seriously after last year’s excesses on this route.
