July 4th / Wiedersehen Nr. 13

"You came by public transport? Seriously?" Yes we did and it was an experience. We left our place at around 10:30. The plan was to take the bus to downtown, have a cozy breakfast, then head to Rich's home. First step in the plan was easy. Then we wanted to buy the ticket for the 12.30 train to Fullerton. There was a nice young man at the ticket machine, he got us a ticket in no time - but for the wrong train, leaving only at 2pm. He works not for Antrak but Metrolink. Hmmm. Doof. So we thought of buying the ticket from Antrak. This was not possible because you need either a passport or a driving license for identification. We had none of those items on us. I am mean for going on a 30 minutes train ride you meed ID?! So we had to wait for two hours at Union Station. There is nothing to do there and eating was out since we just had breakfast. So we tried to go shopping taking the Metro. But as mentioned, everything takes a looooot of time so we had approximately 10min of shopping before going back. We finally were in the train to Fullerton, it was almost 15min late. We had to rush to catch the other bus. It was very hot but we did it. And we arrived at Rich's. Yeah!! Finally. At 4pm. "Why didn't you just take an Uber?!" Well. No idea.
Anyway, it was so nice to meet Rich again, we shared a lot of memories of our time in Brasov. We had a wonderful afternoon at his place, meeting lot's of people and then heading to the park for the very big and very beautiful firework. To get back we took an Uber. It took 50minutes 😊Читать далее
