So I could spend hours writing you the whole story but Rather i'll give you bullet points...trust me...it will be a lot faster.
- Got to SFO...and for some reason they couldn't understand that we weren't going all the way to Munich but instead getting off in Zurich with moms...So they cancelled our flights. Then were on standby...then we didn't exist....then we were back on the flight but seating somehow had to get changed so while the three of them, my mom, aunt, and cousin Sarah got to sit together...i unfortunately had to sit by myself. Perfect. Watched a little friends to keep the spirits up though.
- Landed and Sarah and I had to take the second leg to Munich in order to keep our returning flights...so we were off to Munich to get on a train and go back to Zurich.
-Get to Munich and of corse there are no direct trains to Zurich that night so we instead get a train ticket to Salzburg...which if your looking at a map or are familiar with this region you are probably thinking...that is in the opposite direcrtion of where you need to be going Amber...yes, yes i know.
-So we take some trains...wait a lot...and finally by 12:30am we make it to Salzburg. Mind you we have not showered, eaten much besides granola bars, and have not slept a whole lot.
-Side note...the first half of the sleeping pill i too on the plane didn't do me justice...so i decided to take the other half...not knowing that we were about to land in about an hour...needless to say I was the most tired and out of it person you have probably ever seen.
- Salzburg...1am...on train...for 11 hours!!! Why you ask?? Because it was late to begn with and then about half way through...about 6am a frieght train derails and we are re-routed to Munich. Yes Munich...where we began the wandering with trains adventure. So now we are about 6 hours late...going back to munich...and the last time we talked with our mothers was at the airport and were able to leave them a message at the hostel.
- So we sleep and sleep and sleep some more...with people who have the worst breath and body odor and we just feel gross.
- Finally get to Zurich at 1:00 pm. Very late and smelly and hungry. We are here...moms are happy...we are fed and things can really only get better at this point!
Sorry for the negitivity...i'm sure there will be more positive things to say tomorrow!
