07, We have been robbed....literally

Unfortunately, the title is true. About 50 quid and my (john's) digital camera was stolen last night on the train from Budapest to Warsaw. This is a bit crap really because there was a lot of photo's on there that were cool. Our stuff was stolen some time between 3am and 5am we are guessing...but we aren't sure cos i can't remember the exact time that we fell asleep and woke up.

The train ride, other than that was quite enjoyable. We met two irish guys who told us various tales of interest, often interspliced with the phrases "That's coo0ul man" and "(expletive deleted) deadly mate". They however left at Bratislava.

I must congradulate at this point in time the excellent service we recevied from the ticket inspector on the train. When presented with the problem, most people would consider it dangerous...however he simply replied "I need see ticket" - Bravo. When presented with the ticket, he replied "Warsaw police." Thanks.

However, today there was definately one highlight. We decided to go into Pizza Hut for some food which we were fairly positive wasn't poisoned, when we witnessed a fat boy sitting on his own eating pizza. For some reason, we found this hilarious. He seemed to be only around 12 years old, and at the end of his meal he gracefully wiped his mouth and then attempted to leave the restaurant without paying. Much to his suprise, he was caught...however we never did find out if he ever paid.....

Today both of us have sore feet because we walked about 3km in the wrong direction. Tonight we are thinking of going to see a film....but who knows reallly...Warszawa is a bit of a crazy town.....
