train passing through

Imagine, if you will, a comic strip. Two girls with brows furroughed are sitting on a train. The previous day's story goes something like this: The girls take a train to Pisa, wander around there for a few hours, then get back on the train headed to another town (Cecina). In Cecina, they will catch a secondary train to another town (something something Volterra) from where they will catch a bus to Volterra and their hostel. Upon arriving in Cecina at 7pm, they are told that the secondary line does not run in the summer and that the last bus has already left for Volterra. After a call to the next town on the itinerary (Siena) and confirmation that they can indeed come a day early, they get on a train heading towards Sienna. They have one train change to make in a town called Empoli. They have exactly 6 minutes to make the change.

Now for today's comic ... girls on a train, thought bubbles ready. They are not speaking, they are thinking.
first box
girl #1: "$@$#!"
girl #2: "Okay, if we miss the connection, we can see if there's another one leaving a bit later. It'll be okay."
second box
girl #1: "$@$#!"
girl #2: "If there's not another train, we'll just start calling all the hostels and b&bs and hotels in town. We'll charge the room if we have to. It'll be okay."
third box
girl #1: "$@$#!"
girl #2: "If we can't find a place to stay, we can walk outside of town a bit and crawl under a bush. We can put on all of our clothing to keep warm and we both have towels we could use as blankets. It'll be okay."


Can you guess which girl was me?
