Pigeons, or rats with wings?

Yesterday was so eventful that it has to be broken up into multiple blogs, and here comes number 1! The hostel I have been staying at in here is called Cracow hostel. It's in the historical main square right above a cafe,so you really can't ask for a better location! However, this also means that it was reasonably noisy. On top of the expected night life noises, we also had a snorer and a snoozer. The snorer came in at about 1am and passed out in the wrong bed... Which just so happened to be right above mine. That battle ended with a pillow over my head and an iPod to fall asleep. The snoozer...oh this just erked me! The snoozer had an alarm that started going off at about 2am... And rather than turning it off, she chose to hit the snooze button ever 10 minutes for HOURS. When I left the room at about 8 that stupid thing went off for about the hundredth time... But I am getting ahead of myself! Sometime in the morning I was able to fall into a nice deep sleep that was undisturbed by the two noisy offenders. When I suddenly wake up to the sound of rustling and clicking... All I can think is, what NOW? So I do the best I can to fall back asleep. I don't know how long I was asleep, but the next thing I know, the clicking has gotten louder and seems to be coming from under my head... I wake up fast and look around. The window has been thrown wide open in the night by someone, and a flock of pigeons has now made my hostel room their home. Now... I don't think of myself as too cowardly about most things... But there is just something about pigeons that just freaks me out!! When they are outside I can walk around them or just give them a nice spook to maintain my sense of control... But there is always a "healthy" level of fear. But this, inside, with me, OH MY GOSH THERE IS ONE UNDER MY BED!!!! So, I didthe only logical thing I could think of... I threw a sock at one of them. Bad choice. The whole group went up in flight and panick... So I now have freaked out flying pigeons trying to escape out of the only closed window in the room. Thwack! Now everyone else is awake too. In an act of bravery, I jumped out of bed to tried to herd these rats with wings to the window that they could actually get out of. When the last one flew out the window with a coo, I shut the window tight and turned around. I don't know if the speechlessness was because of language barriers or the scenario, but the 10 or so of us just looked at each other and laughed. At that moment my alarm went off and I got ready to actually start this wild day...
