This is the entryway to my hostel in Riga. Notice the sign for the Mademoiselle bar right next to it. Riga is a favorite of English boys looking for a drinking stag weekend. There are girlie bars and touts passing out flyers throughout the old town.
[P1170107]
The fact that it is necessary to post such a sign in the Vilnius hostel tells you something about the behavior of some guests.
[P1180126]
My Vilnius, Lithuania hostel had plenty of bunks. There were 14 beds in the room I slept in, but I was the only customer in January. That's my 21" roll-about case. Hostels may be associated with the backpack group but I prefer to do it the easy way and pull my stuff. It is much easier to pull your belongings than carry them on your back, unless you aspire to be a pack mule.

What kind of shoes should you wear in Europe? It looks like anything goes, judging by the shoe rack at my Vilnius hostel.
[P1180137]
These folks were very helpful and they are located right in the Krakow, Poland train station, but in an unheated area and it was January.

I found this hostel thanks to the guidebook Europe on a Shoestring. It is behind the World Trade Center, and only a couple of stops to the left on tram #10 from the rail station in Dresden, Germany.
[P1220346]
The en suite bathroom of my Dresden hostel was sparkling and huge, and even had his and her's thrones. It even had a shower curtain, something you won't find in many hotels. There were three beds in the room but I was the only occupant that evening.
[P1170060]
German breakfasts are phenomenal and no less so in my Dresden hostel. Here are the left overs for my late arrival and there was plenty more on other tables. But just as I entered the room a squirrely punk scooped up the last few oranges and put them in his backpack.
