Here we are at last, on our final leg of the journey :)
When we arrived at the established meeting point in Budapest, we figured out that the bus had hardly enough place to accommodate all of the luggage. It was supposed to have a trailer, however it did not. We fought our way through the excited parents walking their children up to the bus and secured our place in the back. All 7 of us, as we met the last 2 missing members of our crew at the bus.
In about an hour or so, we were set for sail, finally, with everything loaded - however, with some snowboards ending up in the bus' loo :)
I knew i have hated buses and I know even better know. The only thing soothing the situation was the presence of my girlfriend sitting right next to me. I have no trouble sleeping in buses - or everywhere as a matter of fact - I just cannot get enough rest. The legroom is just too small. At least on the train you can stand up and stretch yourself. Whatever.
It wasn't a very long ride overall, as within 8 hours we had arrived in Feriendorf-Ossiach, cheked in and moved our stuff into the apartments.
We got dinner included in the package so, after that, we headed for the bar.We found two bars in the holiday village (as "Feriendorf" translates), one of them being more like a discotheque than a bar.
Yes, you have guessed, it was time for a nice glass of beer. And a sweet Martini. Don't blame me, I know it's a girly-drink, I just like the taste. We played cards until closing time and they asked us, though very politely, to leave. It was fun.
This small "village" was pretty amazing as everyone here seemed to be Hungarian. All the cars had Hungarian tags and almost everyone of spoke Hungarian. The barman was Hungarian. The guests were Hungarian. We were(spoke) Hungarian. Even one of the chefs was Hungarian. It was an interesting experience for me. I had never imagined that it would be like this. It was cool though. It seems like that Feriendorf is the Hungarian winter resort.
Tomorrow we are going to rock!
I hate buses!
