• Train from Amsterdam to Berlin

    March 1, 2023 in the Netherlands

    Quite a long journey, but it was comfortable and warm. More leg room and also felt like wider seats than in UK.

    I got kicked out of the first seat as someone had reserved it (reservations weren't showing so knew that was a risk), but found another further down the train and the conductor kindly let me know that it was not reserved so I'd be able to stay in it for the whole journey.

    I love seeing the differences in house shape as we go through towns and cities, and spotting solar panels and windmills.

    I went to the buffet and ordered everything in German. Feels good to be somewhere I can (kinda - A level was a long time ago) speak the language. And I got a nice cup of tea!
