Mosonmagyablablabla

Since we were going to have to spend the night in Paris we looked for some cheap hotels and hostels. When we couldn't find any we just decided to hang out until our train left at 7 in the morning. So we walked around the Notre Dame section of town for a while and then headed to the Eiffel Tower again. We sat in the huge grass fields along with lots of other people checking out the now lit-up tower and talking about how awesome our trip has been so far, even the unexpected set-backs. We left there at like 2 am and walked to the train station where we spent the rest of the time waiting for our train. Then we spent 12 hours on trains going from Paris all the way to Vienna. Once we arrived at Vienna it was too late to take an over night train to Mosonmagyarovar Hungary so we found ourselves in the same situation as the night before. No cheap hostels/hotels which meant spending the night in the train station. We wound up sleeping in a waiting room (basically a glass box) on the platform where our train was to arrive at 6 am. We boarded the train around 6:30 and rode to what we thought was our stop (we blame it on our lack of sleep). We “talked” to the lady at the station who didn't know English and she told us to get on the next train and get off after two stops. We did this and found ourselves in Mosonmagyarovar where we took a taxi to Halaszi where our beds awaited us. We arrived around 8 in the morning and went to the restaurant/bar next door to look for our English speaking contact (M) who would talk to Viktoria's family for us. Well, she wasn't coming in to work until 10:00 so we sat around outside for two hours. Once we talked to her she told us that she thought they were not home at the moment so we had to wait for them to get back. Then she saw them leaving the house walking to church and we three approached them. They told us to wait until after church. So we sat in the restaurant for about 40 more minutes and THEN we finally got to talk to them. The younger lady took us to a man down the road that kept the key while Viktoria was away (weird that the family wasn't trusted with the key...). He took us to the house and showed us where everything was and tried to explain some things but we just nodded and said yes since he was speaking Hungarian the whole time! He did turn on the water heater for us which we were very happy about. Then he left us with the key. Hunter immediately jumped on the couch and wrapped up in his sleeping bag while I went to take a shower first. There were spiders EVERYWHERE in the bathroom. I spent the next 20 minutes exterminating spiders and removing their webs in order to take a shower/use the toilet without having to worry about spider bites. By the time my job was done I was too tired to take a shower so I just went to the bedroom and passed out. We slept for eight hours then got up at 9:30 pm and ate some backpackers pantry. After eating we went back to bed and slept until eight the following morning. We haven't had internet the past few days so we have had a couple of options to choose from in order to pass the time: sleep, read, write, eat backpackers pantry or eat at the restaurant, watch tv that we don't understand, or walk around. It probably sounds very boring but after our tiring journey we relish the downtime. Another up side to whatever we decide to do here in Halaszi doesn't require that we carry around those burdensome backpacks! We just walked about 5 miles all the way from Halaszi to Mosonmagyarovar in the rain and we did this for you. We came here to find a McDonalds of which Hunter saw a sign for on the way to Halaszi in our taxi. So now you know that we are not dead and are still having an awesome time! Now that we know how long it takes to get here we will probably take a taxi back home.
