After a wonderful morning visiting the Mandala winery, we met Jens at home and headed into the city for the Faulty Towers Dinner Experience, the first show we were to see during the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. We hopped on the train and arrived into the city where we then had to swap onto another line. Knowing how fast Jens walked I was determined to keep up with him as best as I could, so ran alongside him with Kim and Julie not far behind.
That distance was to make all the difference.
At the top of the stairs Jens and I asked the station worker if it was the train going to our particular location, which he advised it was. We immediately jumped on it and beckoned to Kim and Julie. Unfortunately, the doors snapped shut in the next second, and we were whisked away, leaving Julie & Kim behind. A few minute and a few phone calls later Julie was on another train headed in the same direction (Kim had actually remained behind as she was seeing a different show that night). Jens and I arrived at our destination, hopped off then attempted to find the platform Julie would be arriving on. We eventually found it, and when Julie’s train disembarked I saw her at the far end of the platform. I kept waving madly, but unfortunately she didn’t see me and the next second disappeared from sight as she followed the crowd upstairs.
Jens and I immediately ran to the street, but it was too late. We’d completely lost Julie.
