en route to Vienna

Slept in this morning, checked out of our hostel, waiting around for the train. upon reading our reservation for an apartment in Vienna, we may not have internet access, so it might be a few days for updates to come. We leave vienna on 7/7 for a day in salzburg then onto munich that night to stay with my friend martin. try and find some wireless somewhere! so after sitting around the train station for our train we boarded and found our reserved seats which were not close to each other. a brit dude then sat across from me and we sparked conversaton right up. megan soon joined us and we talked for a good three hours. his name is glenn and he is also touring europe this summer but doesnt have any idea of where he is going. he is also couchsurfing. he made a sign and hitchhiked from dresden germany across the border and to prague in the czech. now he is in vienna and crashed on the floor of some hostel and we dont really know what he is doing now. we told him he could surf our floor but who knows! crazy kid wicked sweet. we joked me and glenn would travel together and megan and glenns gf could travel together. upon arrival to vienna we stopped at a different stop which wasnt on the list wien mitte. i saw a sign for the U4 which was the uunderground we wanted so we were being daring hopped off the train and found a ticket thing to the u4. glenn folllowed but he was goin the other direction. this ended up being a great idea because the stop we wanted was 2 stops from the station we ewre at!! we then walked and found the front of our hostel all boarded up with a telephone number to call. no phone.... no wifi..... nothing. so we asked this nice gentleman who was walking his 2 month old black dog if he could send a message/call the place for us so we could get in. done and done. its nice apartment en suite. at 730 Cser max met us on the street and brought us to dinner at burmuda bahr. we had authentic austrian food –meat and potatoes. then we hopped a couple more pubs before we decided to walk megan home. i joined max for a few more pubs where i met a nice chap from the netherlands who wanted to practice his english (max said he was hitting on me) before venturing home at 3am.
