Will and Christine were in love!
After spending the semester in Sevilla,
Spain together they weren’t quite ready
to go back to the states yet.
Will came up with the idea for
a “Love Tour of Italy.” Spend 2
weeks together traveling Italy
until they had to go home.
A tiny wrench in the plans at first. Will already
had purchased a Euro rail pass. It would get him
to Rome. A travel agent found Christine a
student budget friendly alternative route to
Rome. She would have to travel on her own and
not without a few detours though…
Sevilla Train to Madrid
Taxi to Madrid Airport
Fly to Milan Airport
Then Train to Rome
for…
Let’s
do a
#$%&ing
“Love Tour”
He says.
Bus to Milan Train
Station
…the Joyous Reunion!
*Remember: they had just come
from spending a semester at Spain.
LOTS of luggage between the two
of them to transport around.
The “Love Tour” of Italy had
begun! A few days in Rome…
Several days in Florence…
Actually they never saw
the real David. .$20
Euros per person is
killer on a student
budget. Especially when
you can see a genuine
replica in the town
piazza!
Then the plan was to
train it to Venice to cap
the “Love Tour” off.
Will had to validate his Euro Rail ticket.
The line was so long though! He had a
plan if they were to make the train in time.
You start loading
all the luggage on
the train and I’ll
meet you when I’m
done.
I’ll need the neck wallet.
**Note: All of
Christine and Will’s
credit cards, cash,
and ID’s were in this.
Christine started loading the huge amount of
luggage onto the train. A nice Italian passenger
even started to help her.
Stupid American
girls travel
with too
much things.
Huh? Wha?
OH MY GOSH!!!
TRAIN IS LEAVING
NOW??!!!
Where is Will???
Must get all the
luggage off the train
QUICKLY!!!
Just then Christine remembered that passengers can board
from either side of the train. She quickly made her way to the
other side to see if she could find Will. She thought he saw her!
I must make it on!
Less stress now that Will saw her
and would come to her right in time
to finish unloading. But just then…
Oh no, the doors are closing!
Just have to get Will’s back-
-Pack!!!!
Will is going to kill me
for leaving his backpack
on board.
Will?
**Choo-choo**
Meanwhile….
Phew just made it.
Hey here is my backpack.
But where is
Christine?
You stupid
American girl’s
friend? She no
on train. She fly
like bird off it.
What should I do? Why did I give Will
the neck wallet? I have no ticket, no
money, no ID! I’ll just get on the next
train and tell the conductor my problem.
Will being the smart chap he was got off
the next stop and immediately paged
the Florence train station. But Christine
had already boarded the next train.
Pagione Senora
Graziano
Will then took the next train back to Florence to meet
Christine. But of course no Christine there. She had gotten
on the next train departing for Venice because that was the
LAST train of the day to Venice. Their trains passed.
What luck Christine encountered next. An
American who was getting off the next stop
and didn’t need his Euro-rail ticket anymore.
Christine now had a ticket to Venice!
Will figured out Christine must have gotten on the next train from Florence
to Venice since it was the LAST daily direct train there. He set out on a
train route to get there. A few detours but it would get him to his love!
What disappointment for
Christine to not find Will when
she got off the train in Venice.
Will? Lover?
Hours and hours passed. Christine imagined the worst had become of her Will.
Waiting was agony. She even got accosted by a homeless man trying to steal
her luggage!
Questa MI
CASA!!!!!
Fearing the worst she
headed to the Police
at the train station to
ask for help. But just
then…
Christine?
Will?
What a feeling indeed!
But since it was so late, the
hostel gave away their room
Funny thing about Italy. Italians
are suckers when they see true
love. It is like having a Black
American Express card. It gets
you things other currency can
not. The hostel owner realized
she could help them. She had a
friend…
We’ll walk the street
all night. I’ll kiss you
when you get cold.
Wow, your hair really
is like silk.*
*Note: Love in the beginning
makes for really gay
conversations
All that
matters is
that we
are
together.
Your eyes
are like blue
moon drops
…who had an attic room she sometimes rented.
It was quite an upgrade from the hostel.
And they vacationed in Venice happily ever after.
