Leaving Seattle, Arriving in Chicago

Unfortunately there is not a lot I can say for this day as Thursday was a day of travelling from Seattle to Chicago. When we finally arrived in Chicago we were planning on taking two trains and then walking to our hostel but it was getting dark and we were tired and a shuttle van was parked outside the airport exit about to leave so we hopped on that. We are so glad we did because it took ages to get to our accommodation and we would have gotten so frustrated trying to find it.

The hostel is in a beautiful residential part of Chicago with plenty of bars and restaurants one street away. That said, the hostel isn't that great. The lobby is nice but the communal shower room is worse than being back at Hollywood High and the toilets seem to have a mind of their own when deciding if they want to flush or not. I could go on but since I won't be recommending the place, none of you need to know the details. Oh and the wi-fi sucks. I think the best thing about the place is the location. We had dinner at a fantastic pasta place just around the corner and I really hope we have the chance to go back.
