Frustrating day

I was very impressed with myself this morning, I got up really early and caught the 7.05 vaporetto and the 7.58 train out of Venice. The train was slightly late, which meant I missed my connecting train and had to wait three hours at Monselice. The man at the train station was useless, he couldn't store my bag and didn't know if i could catch a bus instead. My only choice was to wait at the station for the next train which was three hours away, painful!! So to pass time at the station I; cut my toe nails, painted them, dried my damp towels, slept, read a book, did some Sudoko puzzles, ate and drank. Finally arrived in Montagnana and found the hostel. It has moved from a previous location, but all the signs in town still point to the old location. I buzzed the buzzer and was told I couldn't check in until 5!!!! It was now 2pm, I was pissed off and irritated, on the web site it didn't say anything about check-in being at 5!! The cleaning lady let me in the gate. So I sat in the garden for three hours and slept in the shade and moved in the sun to work on my tan. Finally once I was in my room, I had a cold shower and walked back to the train station to check the times for when I can leave this little town. The only good thing about this hostel was that I had a large room all to myself. I think I was the only person in the hostel for the whole of my stay.
