Train Story

Well like we mentioned in our last post...the train incident that was almost bad. We got up early intending to make it to the train station with time to spare...but keeping to true form, we left the hotel behind schedule...very behind. We thought the train left at 8:30, but about 6:50 Pete looked at the ticket and realized it left at 7:30. Of course this just happened to be the morning we decide to put off packing until the morning and still had lots to do. We had to tell the guy at the hotel to cancel our breakfast, but he had already fixed it...so while rushing to pack we CRAMMED our faces with breakfast. We took off for the train station and tried to find a taxi to avoid the bus (remember our last bus excursion)...unfortunately we didn´t have enough cash on us...so we ran for the bus. As we were on the bus about ten minutes from the station the clock turned 7:30...oh and we forgot to mention we prepaid for our tickets! When we finally got to the station (very sweaty and exhausted...our bags are still very heavy) it was already well passed the scheduled departure time so we got in the customer service line. Fortunately, we just happened to look at the schedule board...HOORAY, our train was delayed for some miraculous reason! We hauled butt and made it...It was a miracle! Needless to say, we have been checking our departure times the night before :)

P.S. We are in an internet cafe...jammed in here like sardines, Pete is about to have a heat stroke and this crazy guy just walked in with a black Albert Einstien wig, a tie standing straight up and a weird trench coat...and smells like pure alcohol...just thought we would share.
