The Great Serbian Train Switch Caper — 1 year ago
While travelling from Milan to Athens by train, I stopped off in Beograd, the capital of Serbia. I don’t know where I went wrong, but somehow I boarded the wrong train when I returned to the rail station. It wasn’t until the train I was on started moving that I clicked that I was on the wrong one. I ended up having to jump from the moving train which left me tumbling across the platform in a Wild West style barrel roll. Then the train I should have been on started to leave the platform. I had to chase that train down the platform and jump onto it while it was moving. I made it by the skin of my teeth and it took me several minutes to stop laughing as I tried to explain what happened to other travellers on the train. What a crack up.
