MISSING THE TRAIN
The train I was traveling on was already half an hour late. I had arranged to arrive in Vienna at 7.15 in
time to catch the 7.25 train to Paris, but there was no hope of that now. I explained the situations to the ticket
collector who advised me to get off two stops before Vienna Central Station and take a taxi. When the time
came, he even helped me with my luggage. He wished me good luck as I jumped off, and a few minutes
later I was racing towards the centre of the city in a taxi. It was almost 7.25 when I stopped outside the
station. I paid the driver quickly, took my bags and hurried inside. “Paris train?” was all I had time to say to
the first official I saw. You could imagine my disappointment when he pointed to a train that was just
moving out of the station at great speed!
