"Catch the moments."
Yesterday I planned to go out to Apeldoorn, a city just a little hour from my hometown. I knew it would be a rainy day, but I had my hopes still, lol. This morning I saw the weather forecast and it for spelled rain in the afternoon, coming from the west, Apeldoorn lays west. So, plan B, will it be Apeldoorn or Enschede? I been in Enschede several times now, last time was with Queens day. Though spending a day in Apeldoorn in the rain wasn't that fun either, Enschede it will be then. According from the weather forecast the rain will come later in the afternoon towards Enschede, Enschede lays more on the east side. When I was on my way I was quit excited to go actually, not even disappointed about not going to Apeldoorn. Clothing shopping was my idea in Enschede, and ofcource having fun and enjoy myself.
I arrived at the train station and... there were no trains riding what so ever, I knew the trains were not riding towards the north and south but the east? Busses were riding instead, disappointed? Naah, not at all! A woman asked me how to get a train ticket, and she was nagging a bit about the trains not riding. Even though the complaining, I had a nice short chat with her, good feeling. Then that moment came out of nowhere, I thought, "This is going to be a great day!" Not just sitting in the train and stare outside the train window and wait until I arrive. No, busses towards my destination. Meaning, meet other people, see other sight seeings, cause the bus will stop at different places before arriving in Enschede. Plus people will ask many questions, like, 'Is this bus going here or there?' I loved it, lol.
It made me even more excited about this day, lol. And no rain so far, win!! I knew with the bus that the trip would be a bit longer, but the bus ride went pretty fast. I ated my lunch in the bus cause that's how I roll, lol. Arrived in Enschede I went out of the bus and enjoyed the rest of the afternoon. My hunting for Summer clothing was with success, I bought two nice polo-shirts for 20 Euro, thanks H&M. I like H&M, cheap and trendy clothing. Though the jacket where I was searching for I couldn't find. Not even at other stores, yeah, I saw a few, but I surely not gonna spend 150 or 200 Euro on a jacket. Oh no! The jacket I have on now is done, not that it's broke but just, I don't know, it's done. I need another one. More then four years old, yep, it's done. But, like I said, I couldn't find one, Summer jackets enough...
But I have one already. I bought a coffee with a treat, then bought my last groceries. I love going to other stores, just taking my time to find things and to just look around. Specially now, I don't know but I felt great today, glorious. Greater then usual, what happened? I don't know, does it matter? Nope! Just before I left the rain came down, and it didn't seem that it would stop raining. I decided to go home, just a bit soaked I arrived at the busses, had to wait a while and then we took off towards home, Almelo. There were other busses too, but they were going to another city or town. I don't have a clue what was going on with all these train delays and trains out of order, but anyway. Very nice day either way. Sometimes you just have to set your mind to it, enjoy and explore, go out and wanderlust! And take your time, no rush.
