I woke up at 3am, threw my clothes on, and looked out the
window to see if there were any taxis sitting around and there were 2 by the
hotel. Pauli had told me to check for
some before I called one. So I knocked
on her door (she wanted me to wake her so she could watch me leave). She came out and I headed down to ask about
the taxi. When I got down there, they
were both gone! I called back up to her
and she let me back in. She called the
taxi for me and I stood at the bottom of the stairs waiting. After about 10 minutes
she hollered down at me, I don’t know where they are, I am calling them
again. Then this stupid street washing
machine was going by, she yelled down that there were several taxis stuck
behind it! I was like great!

Finally it passed and I went out to stand by
the road. Three taxis passed and none of
them were mine, she was yelling at me that she thought it was the next one and
I was pointing and yelling at her and she was like yes and the guy in the car
was nodding his head, so I walked over and jumped in. He asked me something in Spanish, I assumed
it was where to? So I just answered Estacio Nord. We hit almost every read light and my bus was
supposed to leave at 3:45…it was 3:37!
We finally got to the station and he was talking to me in Spanish and I
was like I’m sorry I don’t speak Spanish and he was like do you need a receipt and
I was like oh no lol.

Then I ran into the station to find the gates were closed
and the passage to where the tickets and information were was closed! I headed down the stairs to the platform
freaking out because I thought I couldn’t buy a ticket. It was pretty dead there because it was like
4am! I saw this guy sweeping up trash
and I was like do you speak English and he shook his head yes and I was like is
it too early to buy tickets? And he was
like Girona? And I was like yeah and
then he started rambling in Spanish and pointing and then I saw a group of
people with suitcases so I headed over there.
I tried to go through the doors that I thought the guy was telling me to
go through, but they were locked too! I
just stood there wondering what to do for like ever and then I saw these two
girls with tickets in their hands and I was like excuse me do you speak English
and thank the Lord they were like yes very well! And I was like great, where can I buy a
ticket? And they pointed me in the right
direction and said to go up the elevator.

I finally got my ticket and got back down and on the bus. A few minutes later it left. I ended up being on the 4am bus rather than
the 3:45 bus, but I was hoping I would still get there in plenty of time for my
flight. Online it showed that I should,
but also online it said people on my flight should take the 3:45 bus. Anyway, I couldn’t sleep on the bus, but
luckily it had free wifi! So that and my
music kept me entertained! I finally reached the airport, but after getting
through security, the screen still didn’t show which gate I was supposed to be
at! I decided to go to the cafeteria area
to get something to drink and some breakfast.
Even though it was ridiculously over priced and I try to never by
anything in the airports, I was dying of thirst!

After my breakfast, I was beginning to worry because
the screen still didn’t say what gate and it was nearing boarding time. Finally I realized that the words flashing on
the bottom of the screen were switching through languages and it wasn’t all in
Spanish! That’s when I realized that
they don’t post it until 1 hour before departure…which I find kind of stupid if
the gates are supposed to close half an hour before departure, but whatever!

Finally I got on the plane and there was this
kid sitting behind me that was screaming and kept kicking my seat! I was like great this is gonna be a fun 2
hour flight! Luckily, I guess I was
tired enough that I finally fell asleep, but only for about 30 minutes. After arriving to Frankfurt Hahn, I had to
wait an hour and a half for the next bus to go to Mainz. Why they don’t have more busses running I don’t
know! 🙁 Anyway, made it to Mainz and
had to wait a little less than 30 minutes for the train to Wiesbaden and then
in Wiesbaden I went to Vodafone finally and then the train was delayed so I had
to wait there too. After a long morning of
traveling and waiting…I finally made it to my house around 1:30!

You would think that I would have passed out,
but I didn’t. I stayed up and added
pictures to facebook. I went to the
store to get some food to last my final week here in Germany and then my house
mates had a party because they were going home the next day! It was a great night and I am really going to
miss those guys! Hopefully I can go
visit them some day in Singapore! 🙂
