Traveling misadventures
Heavy suitcases
Pay phones that don't work
Walking past our hosts when we arrived
Not finding the sea
Hair brush in the toilet
Train tickets not being activated
Finding a restaurant at 4 p.m.
Almost getting on the wrong train
Hotel not having an elevator
Mad dash for train
Packing in 2.2 minutes to vacate hotel room and catch train
Cancelled train
Lost and confused cab drivers
Wrong train cars
Track changes
All got sick
Lost jeans
Taxi in a hurry causes us to separate
Hotel check in and out times making practicing difficult
