Everyone makes mistakes, traveling makes you more prone to them.

Picture this:

- Getting an email from the hostel you thought you made a booking for for the next month saying "Tell us about your stay"
- Realising you bought non-refundable tickets online to a children's concert in a bull ring, not an actual bull fight.
- Buying an expensive return ticket when you were only going one-way.
- Rushing to the bus station and making it just in time. There's two in town and turns out you're at the wrong one. Sobbing to the ticket-man who charges a fraction of the normal ticket price. A trip that was meant to take 2 hours ends up taking 6 because it just so happened the next bus going to the same place stopped at every god damn "pueblo" on the way.
- Accidentally locking you and your friends out of your hotel room. Reception is closed for another two hours. The bus that leaves for the restaurant for dinner with the rest of the tour group leaves in 1 hour. Oh, and we were all in our bikinis.
- Going to the bus station and looking out for the bus company you bought tickets for, only to miss it because you should have been looking out for a subsidiary of that company all along. Asking a bus driver where we could buy tickets, only to be let on another bus without having to pay. It's empty and no one else gets on. It's just you, the bus driver and your two other girlfriends. Wondering whether you've just been kidnapped for two hours before landing in Pamplona safe and sound for the Running of the Bulls.
- Not purchasing your train ticket online thinking you could just buy it at the window. They sell out and you end up having to spend an extra night in Barcelona, losing a night in San Sebastian - and having to buy a first class ticket because that's all that was available for the day after.

For the sake of making my friends and I feel better, do share your own stories if you have any!

Love, Noeline
