Diary #16

 Today was a chilly day. I woke up from the sound of my parents shouting at me. As I forced myself out of bed, my parents took me downstairs to have breakfast. It was really good, but when I had tried everything I wanted to eat, I thought I was missing something.

 When me and my parents were done with our food, we went to the train station. The first thing we did when we went inside was look for our gate number: 7J We asked 3 people but they either didn't know or wasn't sure. Luckily though, my dad spotted a man in a safety jacket. We rushed over to him and asked him, because we were running out of time. He led the way and we followed until we reached 7J. When my dad handed him 100 kc, he said he needed 200 kc. At first, we thought it was a waste of time but he stayed by our side and when the train arrived, he pointed to which one we needed to ride.

 When we got on, we saw some people in our room. We started talking to them and became friends. We talked and talked until we arrived. We rushed off because we only had 8 minutes before departure. When we finally got on, we had beads of sweat going down our faces and everyone was fanning themselves.

 Once we arrived at Salzburg, we hopped off and went to get on a taxi. A taxi man told us to get on one so we went towards it but someone was already on it. The man who told us wrong hopped into his taxi. When we walked towards it, he drove to the front of the line, so we followed. We thought he would help us put our bags in but instead, he glared at us as we put them in ourselves. When we got inside, he literally shouted at my mom saying that she couldn't get on with a bag. That's when my dad got mad. He got out of the car and got the bags out of the taxi and told him we didn't want to ride his taxi.

 My dad grabbed all our bags and tried to get on another taxi but he didn't let us because he was friends with the rude taxi man and was on his side. Then, a man in a minivan who had seen it all told us to get on with a smile on his face. So we got into his taxi. When we arrived at our hotel, my dad gave him lots of tips and thanked him.

 Then we went to a BEAUTIFUL church, St. Peter. It had lots of gold and was HUGE. Next, after a LONG hike, we went to the top of a castle where we could see all of Salzburg. Once we were done looking and our legs were sore from walking, we went back to our hotel and went to sleep.
