Train Troubles

During last Saturday's beach trip (stay tuned for the beach post!)...

En route to Viareggio: There was a scary moment on the train because a kid (only five or so) got stuck between the doors on the train. Luckily he was physically okay and did not even freak out (though I doubt he'll want to use a train again soon!). It took his dad and another guy to openthe door and pull the kid into the train. The other guy came running with the dad's shouting and the door's alarm buzzing. Apparently, Sarah somehow thought the noise/commotion was gunshots somehow...? Oh Sarah. :P

Returning home to Florence: We apparently got on the wrong train, though it was at the right platform five minutes before ours. It wasn’t on the departures list either but perhaps it was only supposed to be an arrival with no one boarding…? Anyway, a ticket checker came by after we had left the station and told us. Then he said we were to get off at Pisa and look for our train at 8:33PM. So we got off at 8:10 in Pisa and our train number wasn’t on the board but there was an 8:30 to Florence so we got on it and nobody checked our ticket so it all worked out (made it home!).
