- 6:15 - Rise and shine
- 7:30 - Bus to Padova
- Train to Deseneza aka Lake Garda (I think that's how you spell it). Get kicked out of seats.
- Walk through town, get to ferry
- Take boat to Sirmione
- Explore castle/fort and town. I'm not scared of heights, but I was scared shitless. I make it the 2nd highest point.
- Meet for lunch. Eat oceanside under vines (like the picture for the walkway to the pool)
- Waste time around town
- Take bus to train station
- Barely make it on the train. Conductor tell us that the ticket we bought which we THOUGHT was round trip was only one way. Apparently, he believes I speak Italian and starts explaining to me. I think he says 15 E... but really it was a 50 E fine. So the total was 400 E for us all to ride the train.. it should have been under 10. We get off next top.
- Find 2nd train, get on board.
- Train stops. Stays still. After 10 mins I ask Dr. Lange whats going on. We wander the train, we're the only ones on it. I find the cleaning lady. I ask her in Italian if the train is going to Padova. She reponds, "no Milano". If we stayed on there for 30 mins more, we would have been on our way to Milan.
- Get off train. See another train leaves in 5 mins. Get to that platform, train isn't there. Train isn't coming.
- Find out another train is leaving in 10 mins. Get to that platform. Get on that train.
- Train takes SO LONG to go. Seriously, slowest train of my life.
- Get off train, get on wrong side of train station aka the scary side.
- Go to the better side.
- Pay to pee (so far that's happened twice this weekend)
- FIND MCDONALDS. Buy from the 1 E menu
- Take bus to Abano Terme.
CRASH.
Now I have to work on my project and get sleep considering I got 5 hrs last night...
