After saying goodbye to Robert because it was time to board the train. We headed to our train car, which was a called, a sleeper car. Getting onto the train was a little difficult with our packs, and trying not to fall backwards with the weight of the packs. We had to hurry to get to our beds because the train was starting to leave once we reached the room. In the room were a total of six beds, the four girls and two strangers that spoke no English. The lady was a fire ball and wanted us to do things quick. So I jump on top of my bed on the very top, and someone handed me my small pack and my purse.
As we were getting settled- Ruth across from me, Kristin and Jenna right below us – the guy who checks and collects the tickets walked in. He yells tickets in the best English he could muster up. I start panicking because I had misplaced my ticket due to the hustle of getting settled, and wanting the lady to quiet up. I start pulling everything apart, throwing things around my bed and franticly searching for my ticket. At one point Ruth told me to take a deep breath and try and relax. The first thing that comes out of my mouth was a very bad word (it starts with an “F”), not aimed towards Ruth but towards the whole situation. It didn’t help that he kept on yell ticket, ticket at me. Knowing that I would get thrown off the train, if I didn’t have the ticket, had made me panic more.
Not knowing Ruth had found it in the pocket of my small pack; I was still panicking and pulling things apart. Ruth hands it to the guy and he looks up at me with wide eyes and lets out a sigh that said, “This girl is crazy”. Let’s just say he was lucky that I held my tongue, and that I was on the top bunk, or I was have exploded on him. After he had left, I was beyond done for the night, and beyond ready to go to sleep.
Me after the whole ordeal!
My ticket was in the side pocket of my blue bag. But this is to show how tight everything was.
Not the greatest quality, but you can tell how far up I am.
I fell backwards on the escalator and couldn’t get up. I ran into a man named Robert who I spoke life over, and made him realize that God does love him. I almost lost my train ticket, and got kicked off the train. I love travels days!
