Chapter 16<br />

I’d asked Elly if she wanted to visit her Mum and show Andrew off but she<br />

declined. We had booked some flights back to the UK to tell people but when I<br />

spoke to my family on Skype that week I didn’t give any hint of Andrew or<br />

coming back. <strong>The</strong>y had gotten used to Elly being at my place but never asked<br />

about her.<br />

Elly instead wanted to visit her friend who lived in Krakow. I was very<br />

interested in going somewhere new so we bought some train tickets and set off<br />

on Saturday morning. I hadn’t been on a train in Poland up to that point and I<br />

never really imagined what they would be like. <strong>The</strong> trams were comparable to<br />

the modern trains in England so I was surprised when it was more Thomas the<br />

Tank Engine than the trams were.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re were no signs or announcements in English and Elly didn’t seem too sure<br />

about much but we did the best we could and when the train I thought was ours<br />

pulled up we showed the inspector our tickets and he pointed us to a different<br />

carriage. I looked at our ticket and it said carriage 4. I passed carriage 3, then<br />

17, then 9, WTF dumbasses?
