The one complaint I have about my camera is that it gives you about a 10 minute heads up before the battery is completely dead. It goes from being fully charged to being half charged to being dead in less than 15 minutes. So you really have no warning. Which is why I was so frustrated when, after an hour walk to the Prague castle, my battery suddenly died. Now I'm in the hostel charging the camera before I go back out.
Lucky for you, this means I can update you on my most recent adventures.
On my last day in Budapest, I was supposed to visit the statue park (about an hour and a half away), but got sort of lazy. Instead, I just decided to spend the afternoon at the thermal baths. It was amazing. They have three outdoor baths. I walked out in the 3C weather with a bathing suit and barely made it to through the fog to the baths. While in the baths, I met three guys from Georgia Tech (small world!). We bonded over a mutual belief that we should be able to drink beer in the bath. The bath was full of speedo-ed up, overweight European men and blonde haired czech women. Outside didn't smell too bad, but if you went into the indoor baths, the place wreaked of rotten eggs (because of the sulfur).
My friend Kris (we met in Stockholm a few years ago...see the profile picture of me with the blonde wig) invited me to go out with him and a friend. We ended up at a place called Opium. I don't have much in terms of European clubs to compare with, but this club seemed pretty tame. The music was loud, but not loud enough to preclude talking. And you could actually see people. So that was weird.
I didn't get back to my hostel until 4:30am and had to get up at 8am to make my train to Prague, so I slept most of the train ride to Prague. Called it an early night and just did some reading before bed. Figured I would start my touristy stuff today...until my battery died.
Today: Prague Castle. Whenever I get back there.
