but this is just too good!
On Saturday I went to the beach in some small Italian town with 6 friends. We decided that we wanted to get seafood for dinner on the way back. So we hop on the train one town over, check the times and go to dinner. Miss one train and see one for 10:34. Kill time, come back. Wait, and wait, and wait. By this time we are all tired, dirty, sunburned and ready to just get back. Not to mention slowly coming off of our nice wine buzz. No train. So we ask. No train till morning. No bus. No taxi. There are 7 of us. 2 of the girls are not happy and insist upon walking to the next town to try to get a bus. Myself and two others are like eff it, let;s just find a hotel. Not a huge deal, what can you do?
So after running around looking for a bus we all break off and three of us try to find a hotel. It is almost midnight. Nothing has space. NOTHING! We keep walking, stopping, no luck. So at this point we are like hmm, maybe someone in a restaurant knows somewhere we can go. So we stop by a place where this old lady was closing up and in a very broken Italian/English conversation try to explain our situation. She says something about an apartment, cluttered, bed. So we aren't sure if she is taking us to her own place or somewhere else. But at this point, it really didn't matter.
We end up at this apt. she rents out, she made up our beds, gave us towels and left. Came back this morning at 9am, took us to her restaurant, made us a coffee and we got on a train.
Oh and the other 4 spent the night sleeping in a hotel lobby. Don't you love the way guardian angels pull through sometimes!
