Geneva and travel day... Soon to be days.

This morning I woke up, got all my stuff packed, cleaned up and headed out the door. Still without a hair dryer mind you. I'm pretty upset about this hairdryer thing. I think I'll kiss mine as soon as I get home. Maybe buy it some ice cream. Anyway I checked out and then tried to explain to them that some lady said she would drive me to the train station. Her husband ended up doing it. Yay! Let number three random ride continue. So once we were in the car he attempted to tell me the bus was the best route, where was I going? When did train leave? Turned out it didn't leave for a while. Oops bad planning on my part because that town would have been awful to sit in for hours! But luckily the nice man said I drive you in geneva direction. Aka I'll drive you there. He spoke very very little English but we tried to talk the whole way. It was exhausting. Language barrier equals exhausting terrible conversation. I've had to learn their English because it's not the same. I'm on holiday... British thing. And I goto university. Not school. Not college. But university. I drove through the town bill wanted me to goto viruez en sallaz. And I got some sweet pics of the signs and town. Not great because French man was cruisin, but ok ones. That is the town the sallaz's are named after. Still haven't found ooley-ville but I'm looking. He dropped me off at some train station light rail thing. And after much concussion hopped on. Made it into town and the tourist office!!! Yay. They have become my biffles. (best friends for life BFLs). Put my stuff in a locker at the train station and headed out to kill 7 hours. I was bored and lonely and don't have money to shop so it was a pretty boring day. I did jack the apple stores Internet connection and use their new ipad to reconnect with the world to an extent. Yay! Also charged my phone a little. Shh. But for the most part i walked around old town and looked at old stuff until I thought I was about to melt from the heat and the humidity. It was insanely hot and humid. Insane! I was pouring sweat. I grabbed a cheap lunch and then went shopping a little. Not because i wanted to shop but more because I wanted air conditioning. Ahh. Finally I got the brilliant idea to goto a movie so I went back to my biffles and asked where on was. I had to kill 2 hours so I went and looked at the jet d'eatu. A giant fountain that shoots really high in the sky and has a pier out to it. You can get drenched on that thing and as much as I wanted to decided not to. I went and saw eclipse!!! The twilight books third movie. Read the books. I don't care what age you are. Read them. Please. They are amazing. Movie was good and then I grabbed what I hopped was orange chicken (it wasn't) and headed to catch my train. There were some kind of traffic problems and it didn't leave until 30 minutes late and so now my loose travel times were getting a lot less loose. Had to change trains which also left late. I asked the ticket man about my next connection and he told me platform 9. So when I got off the train I ran to platform 9. When I got up the stairs the train was pulling away and I was freaking out. But I looked at the clock and I still had 5 minutes and trains don't leave early. So I checked the platform. It was 10. Yay! Train still there. I got on and made my bed... It was a sleeper train. I was with 5 asains which was fine. Alot less creepy than some frenchmen! Our train left 20 minutes late but i didn't care. And I attempted to fall asleep. Those are really hard to sleep on! Thanks for the eye patch ma! I used it a lot. Next time put those yoga pants in my bag when i'm not looking. HAha goodnight!
