Left Berlin for Warsaw by train.

Local train to Berlin Hauptbahnhof which has train tracks on 3 levels, an enormous glass dome and 300 shops. Very similar to Bardwell Park. BP has more poker machines nearby.

Bit disappointing train left 1 minute late. Someone was probably counselled.

Easy trip of a little over 6 hrs for 576 kms.

Germans check your ticket, train crosses Oder river into Poland and Poles check your ticket, train stops at Poznań, Poles check your ticket. Everyone clips your ticket until it loos a little tatty.

Fellow selling drinks and snacks moves up and down the train but in Poland can only sell them to people who got on at last station. His response to question “Why?” By German dying of thirst was a laugh and “Only in Poland.” Love it.

Hotel at back of massive shipping centre that connects to railway station. Very easy walk and not killed by Friday afternoon traffic.Read more
