Tomorrow...

... Ann, Matt, one of Ann's former students (Melanie), and I leave for Budapest.

(!!!)

Budapest is where I've wanted to go from the beginning of this trip. I would have been sad if I hadn't been able to make it.
It's about a 3-hour train ride, which is nothing compared to Venezia or Zagreb. I'm looking forward to it. Also, I think we are renting an apartment or something like that for the weekend, so we'll be able to cook in the kitchen.
I'm not sure where all I want to go, but the Buda Castle Labyrinth and the Dreher Brewery and Beer Museum are at the top of the list. I've never been to a brewery or a real-live labyrinth before, but they both sound fun.

Other than that, there are a couple museums I wouldn't mind checking out, but I'm pretty flexible.

In Austrian news: the city is currently being overrun by a bunch of Wien Uni students who have been protesting for two weeks, but tonight is the night of their big demonstration. As I live in the student district, the students are mostly marching around me. However, my street has been pretty quiet, it's mostly the major streets a few blocks down that have seen the most protesters.
The platform of the protesters is pretty interesting. If I had been less tired (and not having to wake up at 5am to catch a train), I would have gone to join the marchers.
However, it is very late and I do have to get up early.
So, I'll update more later.
Tchuss!
