Subject: Post: Well, I guess any trip has to be started with some kind of incident. So did this one, and luckily it had a good end result.We took a train from the airport to our host's home, and there was some confusion if we should jump out on a particular train stop or not. I was also dead tired, and the confusion and tiredness together had consequences: i left my camera on the tram seat and only realized it 30 seconds after the tram had departed the stop. Well too late to run after it.After cursing for a while we started walking towards Alberto's home, thinking what to do about the camera and trying to find contact information of the train company. While we walked, another tram going opposite direction on the same line passed us. I realized that it would be a chance to do something and ran after the train. The girls just said later on they did not believe me being able to be so fast..I catched the tram on the next stop and asked the driver if she has a way to contact the other tram. She called them and 15 minutes later I had my beloved camera back in my hands.The only problem was that I was now at the final stop of the tram line, far from the destination and the last train would depart in four minutes from the station a couple of blocks away. Guess did I start walking wrong direction and missed the train? :)Well, taxi helped, although with Swiss prices it cost me some 30 euros. Small price for recovering the camera though, and now we are happily at Alberto's place, shower taken. Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
