Who ever knew
- that a stretch of track that usually takes 20 minutes to cover can also take 1 hour
- that that 1 hour could also be fun
The first train was 30 min delayed and only took us two stops because it was ‘defekt.’ the next train traded for the defekt one didn’t even leave that stop because it was also defekt. Finally another train came, but I opted to wait the 2 minutes for the one after because the passed 40 mins had caused quite a crowd to accumulate.
So, I get on the next train and travel halfway to my destination. Then, oh, time to get off again. The train we were on had to turn around because he was running that late.
Next train. Again, very full, and every station after that only made it get fuller! We were so packed in that no one even needed to hold on in order to keep their balance. The chatty people in the middle said it very well: “cuddly.” Thank goodness we could all laugh about it.
And thank goodness the ride home was much quicker!
