So I talked to my friend about trains to Torino.
And she said I would've had to book the journey like, three months ago if I had wanted it to be affordable. Huh?
She said, and I quote, "everyone's going down there during the summer".
Believe me, she's a real expert when it comes to public transport. Tho she likes cars and driving as well ;)
Anyway, after some discussion we came up with a sort of emergency plan.
Cuz I'm not one to give up that easily, no sir >:D
Said plan wouldd include me taking Germanwings and the two flights (August 26 / September 2) cost 116€, taxes included.
Taking the bus would cost 103€, but that'd be a long and tedious journey.
Who'd want to exchange one and a half hours on an AIRbus with 12 hours on an ordinary bus if you just save 13 bucks? Well, I wouldn't :D
And I talked to dad and he'd prolly volunteer to drop me off at Cologne/Bonn airport and give me a ride back home the week after that. Plus it's on Saturdays so he can go back to sleep later *lol*
No probs on that side, I suppose.
Still, Milan's not Torino. Obviously. So, how to get there?
But I'm on the 'net, right? I can research, right?
And research I did. Like, whoa.
Which brought me here, to the official site of the Milan airports. BTW, Milan has two of 'em and the one I might land at is called Malpensa. Sound cool. But me and airports is a neverending love story, I guess ^_^;;;
It has an English version which told me that there are buses from the Malpensa airport to a couple of cities in the area. Which includes Torino and a ticked down there costs 18€. Bingo!
Which means that this whole thing might be about as difficult as getting to that Edguy concert back in February.
Tho this time I know what bus to take and how much it's gonna cost me. Haha!
Okay, I have no idea how to get back the week after that, but fucked if they don't have something like return tickets. Guess I just have to ask them people when I'm down there.
Why was dad getting all emo about the airport being the wrong one cuz it's far away from the city itself? Geez, businessmen :P
This... might... still... work...
And no, I'm not getting hysterical about maybe finally being able to get on a plane again after five years!!!
Er.... yeah. More about my morbid love for airports and flying later.
Tho I still have to break all of this to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
silicondreams. Poor thing O_o Still, things are looking brighter right now, I guess :D
