Final Lap

We woke up bright and early so we could get to the airport and catch a flight from Budapest back to Warsaw. Gellert called a taxi to the house, we said goodbye, and that was that.

Last day abroad and I manage to get detained by the police. Stupid taxi driver isn't about to pull anything on me! My receipt printed, and the guy tried to tell me it didn't work because only the first three letters of anything printed. Obviously the little printer was just out of ink... Instead, he swiped my card again, and another receipt printed, the same way as the first. He wanted me to go in
to the airport to an ATM to pay him. He was following us inside. Of course he spoke no English... After arguing with him, and telling him I already paid, TWICE, for the cab, the police stepped in to handle the situation. 30 minutes later, I'm let go because the driver pulled out an old receipt and said that if I had paid, then my receipt would look like that one. Sure enough, the letters that were on my receipt matched up perfectly with the ones on the "good" receipt. BOOM.

After all of that hassle, we thought we were going to be late for our flight. The lines to check in were extremely long, and didn't seem to be moving anywhere. Eventually, we made it through, got on our flight, and headed towards good ole Warsaw.

I'm going to be honest with you... We were absolutely LAZY the rest of the day. We napped, facebooked (yea, it's a verb), blogged, and napped some more. Eventually, we headed out for some dinner in the Old Town, at a restaurant that we loved when we were here two weeks ago. We stopped by a little store to grab a few souvenirs that we hadn't wanted to carry around from city to city. After that, it was back to... napping, facebooking, and blogging.
