Return Home

Got the metro to the Deli Station to catch the train to Szombathely (Then catch a connection to Körmend)

Hobo had suggested getting a beer in the shops at the square but I said there'd be some at the station. Doh, of they sold beer, but as it was the station the prices were about 50% more!

We went into the station office proper and made our way to the ticket kiosks. In the Deli station the tickets are sold from a sort of rotunda. Hobo had a quick scout around and motioned me towards this particular ticket kiosk. He had a brief word with the woman and she put a "closed" sign up and disappeared. Following Hobo, found the woman standing at the staff entrance having a fag. Turns out to be some relative of Hobos. Didn't catch which one though. Sister maybe?

After chatting we went back around and waited at the closed sign. She opened it up and then gave us our tickets. Cool, the queues at the other kiosks were huge.

Went to one of the shops and got a sandwich and some cans.

We had an uneventful journey to Szombáthely. The train being direct meant we didn't have to swap, catch buses or anything.

Got to Szombáthely and just managed to get the connection to Körmend. (Had to buy another ticket though.)

Körmend at last! There was a bit of a wait 'til the next bus to Halogy so we ensconced ourselves at a pub quite close to the station. Its painted bright yellow so whatever its name is I'll always think of it as the yellow pub.

Had a few beers and that's when I started to notice that every so often someone would come in with a load of lunch-pails and hand them over. After a while they'd be handed back steaming. Wonder what that's all about? (Oh, the people were generally in the 'elderly' category.)

Oh, I also managed to fuse the place when I switched the light on in the toilet.

caught the bus and headed to the pub where Steve turned up after a while. Not sure what happened after that but "Kelly's Heroes" was on again!
