insane day. so we are supposed to be off to Interlaken, Switzerland today. We got on our first train to Amsterdam. Oh btw we also saw a parking garage (2 level) for bicycles!!! Gotta love the bicycles of Amsterdam. So this first train was supposed to take us to Frankfurt Main. First of all it was delayed, which made us nervous because the transfer in Frankfurt was supposed to be 20 minutes. So after about an hour and a half on the train an announcement is made in German and everyone starts getting up. So we had no clue what the announcement was but we got up too and left the train haha. And then we followed everyone to another train. So here we are in some unknown city.

As the conductor was asking for our tickets we asked him where to go and he told us to get off right where we just were at that point (Dusseldorf)...good thing he was by us at that point. So then we waited at Dusseldorf for 25 minutes. We thought we were screwed. So then a train came and we got on...going to Frankfurt Airport. From there we transferred going to Mannheim. As we were getting off of that train a train to Interlaken was waiting. And guess what?! It was our original trains!! And so we jumped on wherever we could because it was about to leave.

We tried to find our coach...coach 6. We went from coach 7 to 5. We asked the conductor and he said they got rid of it....ummm ok? Then he told us to go to first class and sit there. SCORE! So we sat in first class...and got free cookie things. haha and everyone around us was rich looking and here we were all tired and gross enjoying the good life :)
