Thursday, August 21, 1986

We arrived at the end of Denmark, staid a couple of days, then my brother felt a little sick, just a sore throat and I said: why don't we go back home. Then we realized that we HAD to go, since the Interrail cards were almost expired. So we pack our stuff, said goodbye to the kind girl who gave us a shelter and jump on the train again.
Unfortunately in Germany the train officer forced us to pay a fee, giving explanations in German language only. That was quite strange to us, since with Interrail we should not pay any additional fee. But there was not way to explain each other. We did not understand German and nobody in the train was able or willing to speak some English to us. I tell you I had more favourable and friendly meeting with German people in other following trips.
When we arrived in Ancona, we casually met Mr. Laurenzi, a gentleman from our town who had painted my father apartment in the seventies and who later opened a shop for paints, and later transformed it in an antiquities shop (that's where my cousin Alida ordered the liberty standing lamp she gave us as marriage gift). So he gave us a ride from Ancona to Fabriano and the trip was happily over.
