First overnight train

naturally, after partying with the aussies and norwegians we were a little tipsy. but mandy and i had already mapped out our route to the train station so we got there in record timing and hopped on board. obviously trying to save on dinero, we paid only 5 euros each and sat our butts in seats, mentally preparing for a 6 hour train ride...oh wait! no we didnt! there were two yahoos in our seats and it tooke me about 20 minutes to muster up the courage to ask them to move. this is where we truly got a glimpse, or rather...we truly got a FAT WHIFF of how europeans smell...in case you were wondering, absolutely awful! the man sitting between mandy and i and the other couple lifted his arms to help us put our bags above, and we both wanted to shout...dont help us! put your arms down! now! unfortunately, he was on our train for the next three hours...noooooo bueno! mandy and i nearly passed out from the heat and smell, but finally he got off and we pushed down our seats to make something almost equivalent to a twin bed and snuggled up. the couple next to us gave us a true, and very typical, display of overwhelming PDA, again so unacceptable! but at the same time, they pretty much only took up two seats, leaving mandy and i with 4 :) finally, we arrived in vienna, stashed our bags in a locker, and began to explore...
