| Bad health sets us back, literally. Carrying around a heavy backpack has strained my back to the point where I can barely walk; forget carrying a big backpack. I bought a sports girdle for support and as an added benefit it's slimming too so I can look trim in that outfit I wear everyday. We rethink our supplies and cut our carrying capacity in half: two outfits each, several bottles of anti-biotics, cameras, and rain-gear. It all fits into one backpack and three day-packs. | |||

Our load is light. Between us we share: four shirts, two pullovers,
two raincoats, two hats, nine pairs of socks, underwear (we wear our own), bottle
of anti-biotics, two cameras, a laptop, toothbrushes, dental floss, a hairbrush,
and one rollmat. | |||

Zoltan
saves us once again by letting us stay in his apartment, rent-free, while we try
to re-organize ourselves for the next leg. He knows how to pick good restaurants
too. | |||

The real Orient Express, it runs between Istanbul and Paris
(we saw it as it pulled into Budapest). | |||
