Co-incidence ?

A funny thing happened today. I booked my ticket on internet paid 70$ for the bus from here to another city called Auckland. Then in the evening, a few hours back, i was coming back home so that i can get ready, pack my things and leave for the bus station to catch my bus and then i met a guy whom i was travelling with in the glacier. I could not believe it because he was suppose to be out of the country now. He told me how his passport got stolen and he has come here to get a new Canadian passport from his embassy. He was the one having the Campervan with the one room space in the middle where i spent one day in the south island (now i am on the north island!) He told me that he's driving tomorrow morning after getting passport back to Auckland and why dont i come with him. I said i have already booked my ticket and paid for it. He asked me to get the refund and come with him in the morning. It saves me 70 NZ$ and gives him company. I took our my ticket and read the terms and conditions where it said that if i refund min. 2 hrs before departure i am entitled to get 100% refund. I checked my watch, i had just 20 mins left. He once again said, come on Umer, you can get it done! i knew i could so we ran to the flat where i was staying, picked up the phone and called the reservation service of the bus company who returned back the money on my account and refunded my ticket 100% :-) Funny right - how the things change so quickly :-))))
