Wrong Train But Good Experience

Last Sunday, I went to Cardiff to apply a part time job in KFC. When I came back, I met a classmate to go back school by train. When the train came, we jumped into the train. As the train went a long way, we found it was different from before. So we asked a man in the train, and he told us it wasn't the one we should take. Then we got off the train, and find that we had to go back to Cardiff again. But the next train should be wait for one hour. We walked in the town, and found there was a castle. And we knew it was Caerphlly Castle. Although we got the wrong train, we found it wonderful to find the castle.
