We started the last leg of our trip Monday at 7 a.m. when we got on a bus from Dubrovnik to Zagreb. We were all excited because we had the front seats on the second story of a two-story bus. In case anybody cares, those front seats, in the hot Croatian weather, are basically an oven. Our blisteringly hot excursion back to the Croatian capital took a horribly long 10 hours in which neither Annie nor I slept a wink and were cooked alive. On top of that, there were only two pee breaks, which I guess was fine since we sweated out anything we drank anyways.
Back at Zagreb (again, not doing anything but grabbing a train), we grabbed a real meal (since we hadn't eaten since breakfast that morning) and then jumped on an overnight train heading for Munich, Germany. The last time we took a night train, we had great roommates who were interesting and, most importantly, willing to sleep. This time around we weren't so lucky, as we were joined by two Dutch women who preferred to fold up the beds and sit down instead.
When we got to Munich around 7 in the morning, we had just enough time to grab a few Bratwursts (yay being back in Germany!) and jump on an early train to Frankfurt, which would add another four hours of travel, bringing the total to roughly 24 hours of pure, hardcore travel in slightly more than a day.
