I got on the train on Friday 29th at 6am.
What a surprise when we (me and my friend Jitka)discovered, that some peaople were already sitting on our seats!! They were from Slovenia...no way of understanding each other then..great!
But somehow we managed to explain the situation and they disappeared.
Now, the only problem were our suicases..too big!!
How do you get a suitcase bigger than you on the rack?
Yes, you ask for help! So we did, and everything was fine..until..
until a Spanish bloke with a dog came in.
I don't know who stank worse - him or the dog, but with our heavy bags on the racks we were trapped there for ever! Or so it seemed.
He hid the dog under the seat - didn't pay for him evidently - and fell asleep.
Do you think that it could get any worse?
Oh! What a pessimist you are! But you're right, it did..
I don't know exactly when, but at some point a weird looking girl stuck her head into our compartment.
Then she went away..not for long though. And when she returned she wasn't alone either! There was another dog!
Both of them stank.
It turned out that she was a girlfriend of the spanish guy and that neither she had bought a ticket nor her dog had been paid for!! Great fun!
And what do you do in such illegal situation? I don't know what i would do, but the Spanish must have evidently thought it through..she laid down under my seat, one dog settled under Jitka's seat and the other one on the floor coveder with a jumper..wonderful disguise i must admit - and even more amazing was - noone noticed anything!
As you see, the journey was long but quite amusing
That's about it for now!j.
