Air Asia has started flights from Kuala Lumpur to London this year, and did so with some great ofers! I got a bargain ticket, and opting to bring my own food and entertainment saved a few more quid. It was a 1am flight at Stanstead so i took this photo while waiting to board (of another plane though!).
The 13hr flight was fine, surprising leg space, free seat next to me, didn’t fall out of the sky.. the usual. But after all my flights, I still can’t work out how the hell to get comfortable enough to sleep.
ENTER SEASIA!

Going from the Czech Reupblic, central Europe, up to Scandinavia by train, does sound a little strange, and up to Sweden is almost a full day’s travel. But with days left on my Interrail, why pay for a flight?!
I got an early train to Hamburg for 7hrs, Continue Reading…

Keleti Station is Budapest’s main international train station, but it is quite small and chaotic. Because it doesn’t have many platforms you only find out which one your train is leaving from a few minutes before hand, so everyone crowds in front of the boards waiting. When I did get on the train, I was at first in a nice car with air conditioning and talking to a guy from Slovakia.
About 10min into the trip, the air-con stopped working. Then the lights. Then when the Slovakian got off we stopped for about 20min while they fixed something on the train (not the air-con or lights).
Wondering what was going on I got talking to a Chilean guy who was wondering up and down the train trying to find out, and ended up sitting with his family in a different car which had no air-con so we could open the windows. But it was still boiling. And there was nowhere to get water!
We were later told the other car was a 1st class car, and it was put in second class BECAUSE the air-con didn’t work!! Bastards! haha.
At the next station the Chilean and a Brazilian guy ran out to grab some water and I had to stop the doors closing and the conductor from letting the train go without them! haha
11hrs later with no sleep and boiling, I got to prague and then back home where I could finally sleep!
