• Amsterdam then night train to Austria

    April 29 in the Netherlands ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    We woke early to have breakfast with Ewan, Bonnie, Andy & Susie before they left for their next adventures. We stored our bags then walked to the ferry and walked to Dam Square and the Jordaan District over 10km. We stopped for pannekeoken recommended from our self guided food tour. We had some time to sit & relax at the hotel before heading to Central Train Station for our night train to Budapest. We have a cabin for 4 on the train. We had to store some of our bigger bags up on the top bunk. Space was tight! We had some cheese and crackers and snacks before getting ready to sleep. Through the night it was really cold. At 2;30am Tom was attempting to shut the window and accidentally hit the emergency brake but it doesn't activate until the train stops then attempts to start again. I was helping get the window shut from my side and blinds down when we felt the train start then stop suddenly and the next thing we know there's a knock at the door and 6 train employees are lined up wondering if we are all okay and why we pulled the brake🤭 We had a good laugh ( after they left!). On to the next adventures!!Read more
