... seats. We show them our tickets, and then he points to the train leaving the station. We were on the wrong train. Luckily, it wasn't that big of a loss. We had a choice between taking the night train the following night, or taking the boat at 5:30 AM (11 USD). We decided to try to get our tickets switched in the morning, and stay someplace cheap ...

I know some people pay good money for buttock reduction but I felt I had dislodged a kidney. Ava ...
