A tragic and a defeated Sunday.....well that is to say it defeated me...it has been a funny and close to awful day and it's only noon. So the day started at 7 am to an artic ice cold shower and then a family breakfast, which was great they know how to do breakfast over here. Megan and I found out we were told the wrong time for church so by the end of breakfast we were already late.
We got on the U-Ban to go and had to make a transfer but we had that part under control. We got off the train and started walking down the street toward where we thought church was. We walked about 2 miles and did find our street but guess what the building number was no where to be found. We walked around that area for about an hour and asked 7 or so people where it was and got the same response from all "we don't know that number it doesn't sound familiar". This was from people that lived on that street. We did end up missing church which kinda sucked but there is always next week. You might think that is bad but oh wait it gets better.
So you have to get tickets for the train and they are like for 72 hrs or a week. Once bought you only scan it once for the train and never again until you buy a new one. They kinda go on the honor system for that. They do have under cover cops that will come on the trains to ask to see your ticket, just to make sure that no one is trying to ride for free. Well this morning as I said we were running late which I hate, so I ran out the door without my bag and of course without my ticket. On the way home from the church search I met one of those officers. He pulled me and Megan off the train along with 2 other boys we did not know. He told me it would be a 70 Euro chrage. I said we just came from church and I don't have my bag. This convo went off for like 5 mins. and finally he said he could call the police and they could take me in and charge me 140 Euro. I think he saw the fear starting to show in our eyes and said I could get off with a warning and just buy a one way ticket home. So Megan let me borrow 2 Euro for that and we came home.
Basically I almost got sent to jail in Vienna.
I hope that Vienna doesn't do 3 strikes and your out cause so far today we've got 2 and it's not even 1pm yet. AHHHHHH! it's been a crazy day up to this point. If anything else happens I'll let y'all know. But I mean really if it was gonna happen to anyone it would be me. That kind of great luck just follows me everywhere I go. lol
