Initially I would like to write about my worst train journey in Europe (because it's the most recent), but then I remembered, when it comes to train, I have more horrible experiences than the one in Europe. So, I'm gonna try to write about them, although some of them are a bit vague. Well, it turned out while I was writing about this I changed the subject into memorable train journey so, It was not always the horrible experiences.
This could be the worst read of your life and it promises to be possibly the longest too. It's your risk. Just hoping nobody's eyes getting hurt reading this ^_^

Memorable Train Journeys

Best . Pizza . Ever .
Pizza is from Italy, I bet everybody knows that, but do you know which Italian city where this pizza is originated? It's Napoli! No kidding and don't even try to google it. Hoho. In eat pray love movie (lousy movie but love the Italy part) where did Liz go to eat pizza? Napoli again. That is why I was super-ecstatic! Me and Yessi were so ready to try and indulge the best pizza in Italy. We've gathered several information from guide book and hostel's receptionist and we came up with 3 names: (1) Di Matteo; (2) Sorbillo; (3) Da Michele and we feel like we must try all those three. However, there's one little problem, we only stayed for weekend and on Sunday all those pizzerias will be closed, not only pizzerias, most restaurants, cafes, shops, almost everything is closed on Sunday, its gonna be like a dead city, am quoting my hostel's receptionist.

A Serene Serendipity in Southern Italy
I believe good things happen when you least expected, and it feels even better when they come coincidentally. I remembered I was in a bus taking me from Siena to Napoli (Naples in English). It was supposed to be a 6.5 hours of journey. The bus were 15 minutes late which was something you should expect in Italy. Of all other European countries I visited, Italy would be the one where the transportation was not sharp on time. It happened several time, my train to Venice which was late almost an hour, my train to Siena was 20 minutes late, and some buses as well. So, when I saw my watch, it was 12.15 am and the bus was just coming, I'm not surprised nor dissapointed, hey in my country things could get worse!

The Beloved Ljubljana
Saya hampir yakin sebagian besar dari yang membaca ini baru pertama kali mendengar nama kota ini. Ljbuljana (baca: Lyubliana) merupakan ibu kota sebuah negara kecil di Eropa tengah bernama Slovenia yang berbatasan dengan Italia, Austria, Hungaria dan Kroasia. Saya tertarik ke Ljubljana sejak membaca novel Paolo Coelho berjudul "Veronica decides to die" beberapa tahun lalu yang mengambil Ljubljana sebagai setting tempat. Agak gak penting sebenarnya tapi pokoknya saya kepingin apalagi sepertinya belum ada orang yang saya kenal yang pernah ke sini sebelumnya. I have a good feeling about this city. So, let's see.

Great Grey Budapest
Saya tidak begitu ingat alasan saya ke Budapest, sepertinya hanya karena keinginan menjelajah negara eropa timur dan Hungaria salah satu negara eropa timur yang masuk wilayah schengen. Sebenarnya ada keinginan juga ke Romania, Bulgaria, dan lainnya, namun saya hanya memiliki visa schengen, jadilah saya ke Budapest. Keinginan menjelajah negara eropa timur muncul karena 2 alasan, yang pertama karena lebih murah, dengan waktu perjalanan yang panjang ini saya harus mengkombinasikan negara-negara yang mahal (Prancis, Belanda, dll) dengan negara-negara yang lebih murah supaya uangnya cukup. Hehe. Alasan kedua karena supaya beda aja dan jarang ada teman atau orang Indonesia yang eurotrip ke sini. Seharusnya saya mempunyai waktu 3 hari di Budapest, namun ternyata karena kereta termurah ke Ljubljana (I bet you've never heard of it) jam 12 siang, jadi efektif hanya 2.5 hari di Budapest.

The unique and quirky Bratislava
Bratislava merupakan ibukota Slovakia, sebuah negara kecil di Eropa Tengah. Mungkin sebagian besar orang tidak familiar dengan negara ini. Beberapa tahun lalu negara ini bergabung dengan Rep. Ceko menjadi Cekoslovakia. Baru pada tahun 1992 kedua negara kembali dipisahkan. Saya memutuskan mengunjungi Bratislava karena letaknya yang dekat dengan kota-kota lain, jadi sekalian lewat, tidak ada alasan khusus. Beberapa orang sebenarnya tidak merekomendasikan ke sini, katanya tidak ada apa-apanya, sehari saja cukup, namun saya malah memilih 3 hari di kota ini.
