Autumn Day 5 : Mistook JR Train!
By admin | April 11, 2009
Here come to second part of terrible tour guide experience in Japan after walk like hell to find the way to Sun Plaza 2 hotel.
The train we should take from Shin-Imamiya to Himeji should be as below:
新今宮([普通]大阪環状線) -> 大阪([快速]東海道山陽本線新快速) -> 姫路
It may take up to 1 and half hour to arrive Himeji. If everything SMOOTH then we would arrive Himeji at 10am. As per my post title, you should what happen next lor..:shy:
We had taken a wrong train at the very first station! We supposed to take ([普通]大阪環状線) but I have wrongly caught the JR Train to Namba難波. That train stopped in Namba and I was thinking it would depart to Osaka Station soon due to the circle JR network. I thought I still thought I am in the大阪環状線 Train! How terrible huh?
I have no idea where is the train heading. I am keep checking on the JR West Map and finally confirmed that we had taken the wrong train. That train is under 大和路線 and it actually heading to Nara (奈良)! BIG BIG mistake I made. I had forgotten we stop at 九宝寺 or 八尾 already. We had to change train and back to Osaka station again. Moreover, it was 10am on the time we catch a train to Osaka Station. *Sigh*
We had wasted so many times in the wrong train. On the time we reach, Himeji might be already 12noon. We were run out of time because we still have to rush to Kobe before 2pm. I have no choice to suggest to sis and cousin, we have to skip the Himeji if want to try the cheap Kobe Beef that only available from 12noon to 2pm. Three of us agreed to skip the Himeji trip. All those mistakes I made today already drive us crazy and exhaust. I need some rest and did not want to rush anymore!
So, we were heading to Sannomiya Station (三ノ宮) for the cheap Kobe Beef set lunch after that.
