Travelling by train

I am travelling to my aunt's place in Turku. I was  supposed to be there before eight pm but alas it did not happen. I will be there at nine pm. This is not much consedering all and all time, but when we compare that the time to travel to my aunt is roughly three hours. So I have had 33% increse in my travel time! Well more like it is 35% as I was supposed to be in Turku less than three hours and when I get there it will have been four hours.

First of all the train that I travelled first had to wait for, I think it was at least, two other trains (could have been more) before it was able to leave. This meant that we would leave about 20 minutes late. Because it was a transit train (if you know what I mean with that) the other trains (ic) would not wait for us. If I would have been going to Tampere this would not have been a problem as there was another train going to that direction soon after. I was supposed to go that direction, but I would have to change train inbetween.

So I got the happy news that I will go south instead of north. This added the one hour to my travels. I had hoped they would have given us taxi (there was others that had the same problem as me) to go to Toijala or other place where the train would stop. Oh yes I would have (well and I did) used three trains to get to my destination.

Now I am using the trains internet to write this. Will post this soon as is, but will edit it later when I have time... Also will add a pic of what I did.

/edit. Wasn't able to add the pic here (used my phone to take it) so I will add to the next post.

I arrived "in time", so the last train was not late. I was fooled by my boss to take the senic route and lots of steps.... Well at least I didn't need to go to the gym after that.
