rainy day

24.9.03 Domaso - Lugano 50 km 2 h, Lugano - Frankfurt 14 h with the train

It was raining the whole night, it started at about 3 am, my tent was open and so it got a little bit wet. I was lying a long time in my tent and thought about what I should do but it didn't look like the weather would change and so I decided to jump on my bike and get to the next train station. Well, the next train station was about 50 km's away and I had to cross a some hill, not really fun if it is raining.

After 2 hours I arrived in Lugano, went to the train station and had a little bit trouble with the cashier. He sold me a special ticket for my bike, that was about 10 € extra. After all he didn't gave me a form where all the trains are on which I had to take and so I asked him:" May I have a list with the trains and where I have to switch them." He said to me that he has break now and his work mate will tell me that soon. His work mate told me that with the train the other guy told me to take I can't take a bike. I asked my self: why the hell did he sold me a specially ticket if I can't take my bike with me, a**hole. Well, after 14 h I finally reached Frankfurt train station at about 1:30 am, of course in between I had some trouble with the train system.
