Flashback Blogs – Monday 9/24
On the day I left Belgrade, the weather changed, the temperature dropped (39 F) with chilly winds. I thought I may be able to write on the bus. What was I thinking? At the border of Serbia and Hungary we all had to depart the bus to be processed. It took a moment but not as much time as I thought and none of our belongings were checked.
I hated the way my belongings were packed and dreaded hauling them through Metro Stations to the hostel. I decided I was going to treat myself to a taxi. Well, that didn’t work out. I asked drivers outside the bus station who were not willing to take a card and wanted 60 Euros ($69.61) cash. I found out later that these driver’s were not official because you can use a card in any taxi.
I took the metro and was happy to see that it took me directly to Andrassy Ut 2., The Adaggio Hostel. I was also grateful there was an ancient elevator to the 2nd floor. I was exhausted from the full week in Serbia and was afraid I was becoming ill. I was given a bunk that was almost on the floor and once I laid down, I did not get up for 15 hours.
Hostel across from St. Stephen’s Basilica. To the right Andrassy Ut that ends at Heroes Square. Behind the square is the Szchenyi Baths.
2nd floor is Adagio Hostel. Perfect location
Took this elevator to the hostel. Too tired to walk the steps with my baggage.
Elevator shaft. At least people can see when you’re stuck.
I’m on the bottom bunk. Keeping up with the young.
Kitchen area. Very clean accommodations
