Our parents left us quite early in the morning and then we were on our own. Still a bit unsure about how to use our Eurail passes, we headed to the Bologna Centrale to catch a train to Milan. Turns out that we needed reservations for that one so we had to buy them on board, but the ticket man was really nice about it all. We could have tried to get on another train but we still had to catch strain from Milan to Basel and from Basel to Freiburg.
We were a bit more prepared for the next train as we had already made a reservation. This train ride was ridiculously beautiful. I will have to spend sometime in Switzerland because it looks amazing. Like I wish I could describe it to you, but I can't even come close to doing it justice. Anywho, we also had a conversation with a legitimate expat. He came to Europe to study abroad and just decided it to leave. Technically he lived in Europe illegally for 18 years but now he is married to a German girl and completely legal. He has basically been abroad my entire life. He was pretty cool though. He was going to Basel for some art festival.
Then we ran into a bit of difficulty. Nothing bad, but a little stressful. Because of the flooding in Germany the train that we needed to catch was canceled and we had to hop on another one and then change trains at the next station. Of course this threw us off a bit. Thankfully the gentleman next to us was in the same situation and he was the one who informed us that we would have less than 5 minutes to get on our final train. A train which could be on any track. Just a little stress,....but we made it. It just took a bit of a mad dash.
And then we were in Germany.
