Krakow! and updates

So I made it to Krakow three days "late". Well, everything has been late, as by now I expected to be somewhere in the middle of Finland. How to describe the excitement and fun of random travel...I don't know.

I have begun typing up the stories of my travels, and I will be posting them back-dated so that they appear as if posted on the correct days. This will make it easier to follow.[

Travel plans update:
As I am wayyy behind where i thought I would be, I don't think I will make it to Norway or Sweden. I am trying to hit Warsaw tonight, unfortunately Remi has just sent me a message that he is on Holiday and therefore I have no real reason to STAY in Warsaw...so I will skip through. My next 'planned' stop is Lithuania, hitching wherever and however I may go. I would like to spend my last week in Amsterdam, and therefore will not be pushing it too hard to get very far.

The past few days have been amazing! I hitched from Budapest north through Slovakia, and was picked up at the border by Marcin and his friend. Instead of giving me a lift to Krakow, he invited me into his home (he's 25), and we have spent the past two days hanging out, drinking beers, eating food (his mother is an EXCELLENT cook), and talking about climbing/snowboarding. This dude is amazing! He also offered me a lift up to Norway in two weeks, right after he is finished his second attempt climbing the Matterhorn! I've been completely awed, and blown away. He only started climbing serious mountains four years ago!

Anywho, I'm a bit confused by the messages from Casa folks, sad that I missed you in Budapest, but if anyone is up my way/heading towards Lithuania, drop me a message on my polish mobile (+48508525930), which now has a correct recharge, battery, etc.

Reese: Sorry, I didn't realize the batteries in our phones were different!
