So, I should be on a 11 hour train ride to Granada. As you can see, I am not. I got to the train station early this morning and was told the train was full. FULL!! Goddammit. So after some wrong directions and twist and turns, i finally ended up at the right ticket window. The guy was really nice and helpful even though we had some weird communication. I spoke to him mostly in English and he spoke to me mostly in Spanish but it worked. He tried everything he could to get me to Granada today but everything was full, including all the trains to Madrid, WTF! Instead, I will take the sleeper train to Madrid and arrive at 7am, then take an 8am train to Granada and arrive at 2pm. I will be in Granada for less than 24 hours. It better be fucking worth it! Then i tried to make a reservation for a seat on the train to Nice from Barcelona and the guy who worked at the INTERNATIONAL ticket window and I were having major communication issues. He started pantomiming and pointing to information so I went to information and she told me to go back to the International Windows. I said fuck it, I have to come back here tonight anyway. So annoyed. It would be nice have someone be at least a little bit friendly to me. At least I got that one guy who helped me out.
Whoever told me that Eurail was easy to use and I'd figure out. YOU WERE LYING TO ME! Bitches! I knew this was going to be the worst part of the trip.
First speed bump, it was meant to happen. Gotta take it with a grain of salt but it still makes me incredibly paranoid and nervous for the rest of my trip which is ALL trains. I'm in France for ONE day, what if I can't get to Florence by the next day?! There will be nowhere to sleep and I will be stranded. Did I mention I don't know a lick of French?
Wah wah, cry me a river, I know. :-P Wish me luck.
