I'm going to start this post with the good news. My 2 new room mates were also leaving the same morning as me so I had no troubles getting to the train station. It's now about 9:30 in the morning and I had originally planned on taking the 12:09 train back but I didn't want to stick around that long so instead I took the 10:09 train. Finding the right train was no problem... it was the connections that had me worried. It never told me at which station I needed to get off at so I was getting very nervous. But I had to get on the train now unless I wanted to wait another 2 hours. I remembered that on the way to Vienna I connected in Salzburg and Salazburg was one of the stops that my current train was making so I was 95% sure that I needed to get off at Salzburg. But, I still needed to figure out which train I took from there. So I looked in the travel itinerary of the train I was taking from Innsbruck to Salzburg (I'm going to call that Train A to make it quicker to type) and I was able to find that I was getting off in Salzburg and it gave me the name of the train I needed to take and what time it left. The one thing it left out was the platform and that was very important to me. I got to Salzburg and immediately looked for a train schedule. It was platform 34 and I luckily had walked there by accident and the train was already there so that was a huge relief! Train B was a fairly nice ride until some kids got on. 6 of them, 3 boys, 3 girls all about 15 years old and more than enough booze to go around. They got loud and annoying fast. I got spilled on twice, the first time wasn't so bad. It was just a few drops that landed on the side of my shorts but I didn't really mind that. The second time I got half a cooler spilled on me if not more and that was all over my right leg. Not a very comfortable feeling to have sticky legs on a train. But, oh well, my stop eventually came and Silke picked me up to bring me back to their house. Fast forward to tonight. We went back to Huttn Wirt to hang out for a little while. Sure, Jeremy and his friends ran with the bulls but I rode them! Except it was mechanical, so Jeremy and friends, you've still got me beat. But on another note from that night I was able to ride that bull for 35 seconds! Plus I finished my first ever beer! It wasn't just beer though, it was grapefruit flavoured but it's a start. I didn't end up staying there for too long but that was fine with me. There is no bad news, I just thought that it'd be a good attention grabber. Gotcha!! That's all for today. Good night.
