Wien

I didn't expect to visit Wien but when I met up with Kruopa in Bratislava, we decided to go there to see a lithuanian friend but our sms's were not received, so we ended up looking for hosts..note to Wien members: Why don't you have phone numbers on your profiles - bastards! The hitch itself was pretty simple, although some kind fellow had to inform us we were hitching on the wrong side of the road.. then I was holding the sign the wrong way round, a bit of Lithuanian mental dancing seemed to impress a woman at the petrol station and her and her husband who were going to Munchen, took us most of the way, then a Polish guy took us to the centre.

Eventually, after much arseing around at "Big Internet Cafe" - you have to set up an account there to use it for 10 minutes? Bollox! We managed to call a couple from Switzerland and Uruguay that Kruopa knew. They are both really cool people and definitely recommended as hosts... comfortable bed in the kitchen and good conversation.. I've been through Wien many times to hitchhike south but never actually visited the centre.. it's nice but very expensive!! Internet in the centre - 6 euros, holy fuck. Anyway, supposed to be hitching to Maribor later but I still don't have a host, so may go straight through to Zagreb.
