Austria

Yesterday we had to wake up at 6:30 because we had to leave around 7:30 for Austria. We ate breakfast and headed to the train station. We had troubles finding seats on the train and when we did Gena sat next to a girl that was caughing and sneezing the whole time. I slept most of the train ride and the train got to austria like 2 hours late because of technical difficulties. When Gena, Lauren, Mike, Andres, and me finally got to Austria we had to figure out how to get to our hostel and we took a tram because it was cheaper. we met a girl from Costa Rica on the tram who was staying at the same hostel and she came out with us. We went to the wrong Wombat hostel at first but it didnt take long to get to the other wombat hostel. The hostel is actually really nice we have a 6 bed suite, they are bunk beds but the room has a fan which is the first ive seen in europe and its pretty nice. There is also a bar down stairs, wi fi, and breakfast. After we got all our stuff situated we decided to go explore and eat. We got some food then went to a few different bars and walked around. I still love Prague more Austria hasnt really impressed me yet. I was expecting sound of music beauty but I havent seen that yet. we tried to rent bikes to ride around but we were having issues figuring it out so we are going to try to get them today. It started raining when we were walking around thats why we went to a few different bars. When we finally decided we wanted to go back to the hostel it was pouring and we got subway tickets. We took the wrong subway stop and got completly lost and we were running around the city in the rain. We were all soaked and were completly lost..we would ask people how to get back and they kept telling us the wrong ways. So finally I was like skrew this because I had my nice camera with me (it was in a case but still I didnt want to take any chances) and I got a taxi. So us girls took the taxi and the boys wanted to try and find there way on foot. We got back and if we would have stayed walking it would have been bad bc we were going the completly wrong way. When we got back we realized we should have just stayed at our hostel it was like the most happening place we had seen all night haha. We just went to bed when we got back because we were exhausted and the boys did find there way back.
