You're not alone!

Lovely! I am all for an offline day in the year where everybody does what you described.

Haha, enjoy! I am staying in cheap hostels or sleeper trains. I don't have the money, only the time. Which is more precious I realised.

I am in Budapest tomorrow. Lmk if you want to meet for a coffee :)

The heat is ferocious indeed! I will, thank you!

I speak three European languages, and English worked almost always. Especially the younger folks in the cities. If it didn't work, I used a translation app.

A bit off topic, but I am currently travelling through Europe by train. It is such a boon to just be outside everyday and meet locals and fellow travellers. Highly recommend.
