We arrived quite early (6:00) after a cold night in the bus. Somehow water got in from the floor of the bus (strange, but true) and soaked some of our hand and day bags.
We sat and tried sleeping in the cold on the bus stop until God gave us further instructions… about 9:00 we got on a train and traveled to a backpackers’ towards the center of town. Between the two trains we had to catch to get to our destination Paul gave us all a VERY big fright by falling down the stairs…crutches and limbs flying in all directions. Thank God he did not get any serious injuries! Christine (who saw our brave warrior go down) got very pale and nauseous…and remained in that state for quite a while. Paul got away with a bruised wrist and knees and a bump on the head.
Marisa, Herman and Elzet went looking for the backpackers, while Paul and Christine kept an eye on the bags.
After about 45 minutes we were in the backpackers’. At last, a warm shower and a soft bed, complete with blankets and a pillow!!!
