The Sprint...

Live blogging now on the train. (This is Mr. Bohney again. Thanks to our guest bloggers we will have more soon!)  We just wanted to let you know about our train adventure. We had a tight schedule coming from our train from Salzburg to meet our connection in Munich. We had 8 minutes to get from one train to next. This was going to be a tight squeeze and we were prepared for an orderly and quick transfer. However, were not prepared for our first train to be running 6 minutes late. With two minutes to spare we hit the platform in a full sprint. The wheels on our luggage barely stayed on as we blew around the corner. Zack lost his tube of Pringles all over the platform, but there was no time for recovery. We would leave no man behind but chips were just going to have to be a casualty. We could not make it to our car so we jumped on the nearest car, walking through first class , the dining car, and eventually second class. But then there was a door. We could not get to or car. Do we jump off and risk it to go around? Jody and Tanner jumped off but then the door closed. They were stuck on the outside with us pressed against the windows looking out. Luckily the door was reopened and they got on in the nick of time. So we made it. Were in the wrong car but we made it. Next adventure, the ten minute transfer to the bus at the Nuremberg train station.!  Good thing we have already warmed up.
