Step 1. Ten hours on a bus from Dubrovnik to Zagreb. When we boarded the bus and found our seats in the very front of the upper level of the bus, we rejoiced over the leg room. We soon learned that we were actually being slowly cooked by the sun streaming in from the front and side windows, a fate not suffered by anyone else on the bus since they were not in the front and had curtains for the side. It was surprisingly okay though. We both did a lot of reading.
Step 2. Nine hours on an overnight train from Zagreb to Munich. Having learned our lesson on the way to Rome, we booked beds and slept. I love trains.
Step 3. Four hours on a train from Munich to Frankfurt.
Phew. We hadn’t booked anywhere to stay in Frankfurt, but Frankfurt was obliging. Right outside the train station we found a hostel with free internet and free breakfast. One night here and then we are off to spend our final night in the airport since Kevin’s flight leaves at around 7:00. Then I have a few hours of reflection before my noon flight, which will bring me home, completing the circuit and providing me with a chance to do my laundry, which is important, because I’ve been stretching it this time around and I’m a little bit smelly.
