Scott Cocks it up Again

Well, what to say about today. Well to start off with im currently staying in the Nagoya Marriott, in their cheapest room, a very lucky 6000yen but i deserve it after the crappiness of today. I woke up late, yes i know mother, and relised i had missed the morning train out of hakuba and would have to wait until the afternoon, (1.30pm) to get all the way down to Matsuyama. I arrived at the station in plenty of time and trying to remember what direction the train arrived two nights ago, i waited in the center of the bridge until i saw a train coming at 1.30pm. Brilliant ide i thought, so lo an behold spot on 1.30 a train roles in and i run down the correct side of the bridge, check its a limited express train and jump on, only to find two minutes later, another train pulls in on the opposite side, but looking more convincing as my train. About to run out and get on that one, i was stopped suddenly by the doors closing and th train puling away. Various thoughts ran through my head, the most publishable was Arse! So getting off at the next stop i had to take the slow train down the hill, and so would miss my next express to the next station, 2 hour, 30minutes later, of a journey that should only have taken 60 minutes, i arrive at Matsumoto station, to find, instead of the 20 minutes i would have had to wait if i had caught the last train, the next Express was leaving in 3 minutes, super, so i ran to the train getting on in plenty of time and finding lots of room in the non-reserved section.

Now, all well and good, and so my luck continued for atleast 20minutes before i relise, though this is a limited express train, ony stopping at 8 stops before Nagoya, it is also the slowest in the class and CRAWLED along like an 80yr old on a Sunday jaunt. Already 4pm i had another hour and 20 minutes to wait until i go to nagoya which by that time i had no hope of even catching the Nazoimi to Matsuyama and still be there in time for check in which finishes by 12pm. On checking my emails at Nagoya, hoping to tell pete i would be in late, and also to find out where i was going, as when i pulled my Rail Pass out of my pocket, all my train details and hostel booking info, flew from my pocket never to be found. Arse Shitting Bollocks, so on checking my email, i found, for an un named reason Pete would also not be making it to Matsuyama that eve, or perhaps the next day! How strange you and i think? But that mystery is for another day.

Unwilling to pay 30quid for a steak again, im ff down the corner shop for some food in my room, then hit the bar and bed, i hope to arrive in Matsuyama by checkin tommorrow (4pm) where i will probably keel over and never move again, or more than likely, have a couple of cans from the vendor, ha.

Good Night World
