That mountain experience confirmed the south route for me. I began to search for a train station. At the station, I found nothing for 2 hours. To pass the time, I backtracked in the dark to try and find my missing wallet. I did, thankfully, a fair ways back. To kill more time, I decided to carry on further, to the station where I would've made a transfer. Except I missed it. Had to double back a number of kms. Then I found the train didn't go as far as I wanted.
