ah germany...part 1

after class we got a ride from jennifer to the train station. we had already gotten our tickets last week so we didnt have to worry about that. we did however have to get our eurail passes validated with a stamp. 1st line= no good we were sent somewhere else. the lady at the first place was really rude too. the second place that we were told to go to was no good either. once we had gotten to the front of that line and were denied, we had 15 mins before our train left. the big ticket line was way to long. we went to a help station in front of the trains. we asked the guy there for help but he didnt have the right stamp. we had less than 10 mins now before the train left. he saw how frantic we were so he went back and stamped them for us. during our whole frantic search, mean lady from place #1 was telling the man not to stamp them. we were thankful that he stamped them. now we were on our way to venice. there are 2 train stations in venice. our train from florence stopped at the train right out side of venice, but our train that took us to munich was from the train station inside of venice. once we got to the 1st train station, we went to the ticket office to get our ticket to the other train but right before we got up to the window they closed. so we went over to the ticket machines to buy the ticket, but there was a sign that said that they didnt sell the tickets to the other station. there were 2 men standing there selling the tickets for 2 euros, even though it only cost 1 :/. well we needed the ticket so we bought it but the guy didnt have enough change so he ripped me off by 30 cents....oh well. once we got there, we had 2 hours to spare so we walked around and got some gelatto. :)when we finished walking around we headed to the train station. i was starting to feel really sick, and thats when i realized that i was having a migraine. :/ i wished that i had figured it out sooner than then so i would have my medication, but oh well. at least i had some advil with me. that was my savior the whole trip. so on our 7 hour train ride, i got sick 3 times and slept maybe 1 hour total. the chairs werent that comfy either. around 4:30 i decided to go stand out by the window and breathe in some cold air. and it was really cold. it was also really neat to see the sun come up over the mountains and see all of the fog. right now im still feeling pretty bad so i will continue my story later. miss everyone!
