Italy for the Weekend Continued

So I got up early Sunday moring, knowing that I had to go home....boo!!!
We left at 7:30am and took the metro to the train station. We got to the train station and had some time to wait before our train was going to leave the station. So we got on the train waited almost 45 mins before anyone told us anything, and they came over the loudspeaker saying that the train wasn't working and we needed to switch trains. GAHH!!! This was rather annoying, since we needed to be on the rails? already....

annoyed!!!

So we got on the second train and it finally got going.
Brandon and I took that time to make a list of things to do when he comes to Scotland, and things to do when I go back to Italy for Spring Break. It was really nice to spend 2 hours together where all we were doing was being together. When you drive you are focusing on other cars and what's going on. Training is a pretty cool way to travel.

So we got to Milan 2 hours later and pretty much ran out of the station to grab a bus to the airport. Online the bus company said that the bus would be 30 mins. Well they lied. It took an hour, and had the train not been super late this would not have been a problem. But it was a problem. So the time I was supposed to be at the gate came and went.....
We arrived at the airport shortly after the plane was supposed to have taken off, but seeing as we were in ITALY, there was a strong possibility that my plane had been delayed and it was still there.
But of course not. haha.
And this is when I realized I left the umbrella on the bus, and it was POURING RAIN!!!!!!!

There is one thing I've learned being in Italy this weekend. Italy is where murphy's law started, If it can go wrong it will go wrong. Nothing works when you need it to, but if you don't need it to, it's just fine!!! GAHH!!
So we went to the ticket counter and had to see if I could get another flight out that day. And of course not!!
We decided to go to one of the other terminals to see if there was another carrier who would have a flight out on Sunday. We took the shuttle over there and when we got to the ticket counters, the only offer we got was 800 euros for an indirect flight home that night...GAH!!!! well needless to say, that wasn't happening!!! We had to wait forever to get back to the original terminal and even then we couldn't get a flight then.

But something we did do to pass the time was take pictures of things around, so here are some funny or cool pictures of what was going on in the airport or us!

Things got so ridulous, it turned funny. It was like, "WHAT NEXT!!???!?!" But I am so thankful I had Brandon there. Those of you who know Brandon really well, you know that he is really mellow and stays calm in pressure situations.. Thank God he is like that, because I am not always like that!! But he kept me together, and I am thankful for that!!!
So we took the two hour bus back to Torino and decided to call it a night.

We took the bus back to Torino and then got on the metro, where I finally got a good picture of this sign!

hahah, I thought it was funny.
Until next time,
