A day of travel

We are almost to Ollie's. Another 20 minutes. Kids have been
champion travelers. The flight arrived early, but we missed the train
we wanted because we didn't understand it was the right one. Most
Belgian cities have slightly different Dutch and French names. Their
on-line schedule lists the French names, but the stations use the
Dutch ones. We were looking for the train to Malines (French
spelling), It was listed as Mechelen. I also knew it was number the
9940 train, but putting numbers on trains or listing them in the
terminal is just not done, I guess.
