Day 96: So. Much. Transportation.

This morning we got up and checked out of the apartment and then walked to the train station to catch the shuttle that would take us to the airport. If you're already confused by the amount of transportation, just wait... it gets better. Today we take this shuttle to the airport. Fly from Split to Rome. Take another shuttle from the Rome airport to the Rome train station. Train from Rome to Milan Centrale. Then we have to taxi to a different train station in Milan because the trains from Centrale stop too early for us to get one home. So we taxi from Centrale to Garabaldi, and then train from there to Chiasso, and then switch to catch a train to Lugano. Luckily enough, all those things went as planned. We were with the other set of girls in Croatia, but they caught a different train home from Rome than us so we separated after getting off the plane. Before flying out of Split, we all spent time trying to figure out what to buy from the duty free store to spend the extra Croatian money we had left over. The plane ride went smoothly, and I had a window seat which is always a plus. Then my travel group plus Jackie grabbed a shuttle to the train station. We had a little time before our train so we grabbed dinner at the doner place across the street we had eaten at when we went to Rome two weeks ago. We then caught the train, stood in line for a taxi and managed to get a big van so we could all ride together and split the cost a lot easier. From then on, it was a smooth ride as our last train back to Lugano. Very bittersweet feeling, but I was overjoyed to be done with traveling for that day to say the least once we finally got in just before midnight.
