Well our last full day in Europe was an exciting one. We stayed in this hostel in Koln, but we were going to leave at 6 in the morning so we could catch the train and make a boat that was an hour and a half away. Since the guy running the place didn't want to get up that early to check us out, we turned in our key that night. So after a resstless night of sleep for Kara (she had to listen to a very loud snorer (Steph, I feel your pain of the sleeping porch) we were in the hall getting ready when the snorer gets up to go to the batchroom, turns out that he was a man in his 40's who only wore a night shirt and tighty whiteys! What a sight at 5:30 in the morning. Then we proceed downstairs and try to leave, but the door is locked and you need a key to unlock it even from the inside!! Foiled again! Julie pokes around and we discover a door/window, but it only latches from the inside. Being the Macgyver fan that I am, we take a piece of string and latch it to the handle, close door, and pull on the string to close the latch. And that is how we successfully broke out of a hostel!
Well, we ended up not making the boat. Turned out that it was a thirty minute walk to the boat dock from the train station and we arrived with only 25 minutes. So we saw the boat pass us by without us on it. We decided to take the train and meet up with the boat a little bit upstream. We were on the train facinated by the scenery that when it came to our stop, we weren't ready to go. Julie, who was always getting ready 5 minutes before our stop and double checking to make sure that we had everything, was apparently really worried that we were not going to get off the train jsut gets up and gets off the train with just her backpack. Leaving Kara to carry all the rest of the stuff. It didn't help that Kara was laughing at Julie's rush to get off the train.
Well, that is it for our journey...at least for now!
