Getting to Budapest

Our trip to Budapest began at 7:04 when we boarded the train from Charlbury. Mike was nice and drove us to the station which meant we didn't have to get up quite as early as we would have had to before. We arrived at London Paddington Station and discovered that some of the tube lines were closed. It wasn't really that big of a deal and we ended up taking the same route that I had planned beforehand.

When we arrived at St. Pancras we bought tickets to go to Luton Airport. When we got to our destination we had to take a shuttle to get to the actual airport. There were no real problems with the flight there except that it was 20-30 minutes late. At the airport in Budapest we arranged transportation for getting to our hostel. It takes some stress off of everything because the shuttle will pick us up and take us back to the airport when we are going to leave.

By the time we arrived at the hostel it was starting to get dark. So we went and bought some food from a store nearby and packed it in for the night. We spent some time looking at maps and planning the rest of our trip.
