    December 12, 2022 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ -1 °C

    Ok so continuing on from the drama of last night
    - I had a terrific evening watching it all unfold.
    The douche bag in the double bed was SO UPSET another bloke got in the bed with him and I was WHEEZING from my bed. Better than tv omg.
    Anyway old mate huffed and puffed and then went and moved all his shit to a top bunk. He was so put out.
    Great, he deserves to be inconvenienced.
    All his crap took up the entire bed so he couldn’t even get on it.

    Eventually the Russians came back and I explained to them there are 2 beds left. Top bunk and double bed.
    Neither were acceptable so they left and never came back 😆😆😆😆😆

    So good.

    Douche bag was much quieter than the last 2 nights but still took a phone call around midnight.

    One of the new people opened the window last night so I was so comfy. I didn’t sleep, but It wasnt like sleeping on a fry pan.
    Window was open all night. Brilliant.
    Being quite is hard of a morning. The zip of our bags is SO LOUD, and pulling our locker out from under our bed was BANG CLUNK THUD.
    Anyway. Got on the way. Absolutely delighted about going to a hotel. Will very cranky because he was touching feet with someone all night 🤣
    I’m a foot shorter than him and even I reached the bottom of the bed.

    Our train was early so that was great so we didn’t have to wait on the platform in the freezing cold.
    Germany on fire, was 10 minutes late to leave and about 25 mins late to arrive in Munich.
    I had troubles booking this route. I wanted to buy from Salzburg to Berlin but no tickets available so i bought 2 separate train tickets and connected them myself. Salzburg to Munich, Munich to Berlin. Gave us an hour stop over to get food.
    Lucky. Or else we could have missed our connecting train as they only ever give 5 minutes for a transfer.
    So that worked out well in the long run lol.

    This second train is delayed too.
    Left 10 minutes late and is now running 40 mins behind and we are only halfway.
    Good job Germany.
    This train is basically empty but all the seats have reservations recorded on the seats. I reckon people have seen the delay and bought different tickets or called it a day.

    Just went past a baby deer in a field. No mummy on daddy deer. Little thing is lost.
    Will rolled his eyes when he took his headphones off for me to tell him this important information.

    Long day.
    Left Salzburg at 8am. Arrived 4:10. 40 mins late in the end.

    We had a few options on how to get to our hotel. Walk 4 km.
    Get a direct bus.
    Or catch 2 trains.

    We got the 2 trains. Buses are an only if I must option.
    Had to catch an S and a U train.
    U was easy.
    The S was more complicated. The station we wanted wasn’t an option on the machine but was appearing on the board so we picked a short journey ticket option and hoped that was ok.
    Got on and then it was only a 180m to the hotel.
    Easy check in and ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED to have our own space.
    Went to dinner early around 5. Had Indian. Average but cheap.
    Naan was awful though. We think it was goats cheese which I don’t mind in a salad with nuts and toast but Will hates at all times.

    Went to Lidl on the way home and bought some milk, cereal and biscuits.
    Alcohol is so cheap here it’s insane.

    Back at hotel. Have showered and got our laundry ready for tomorrow.
    Not near a laundromat. 3km to the closest one which is a pain in the bum and will waste a good chunk of a day. Thinking we will go once sun has set so at least not waste any sun light as it doesn’t hang around for long.
    Sun was only starting to rise when we left Salzburg this morning and it was pitch black when we arrived this afternoon.

    Just watched sky news. British report differently. Man has been found guilty of murder - her name was Megan.
    She was strangled then her throat cut 14 times to make sure shewas dead.
    He then dumped her using her car. He came home researched serial killers and watched porn.
    They showed footage of him changing clothes afterwards, the police finding her saying she is over here, audio recordings of him pretending to be concerned and so on.
    Bro it’s the 7:30 news.
    That was so full on holy hell.

    Reminded me of my train from Wales to England “Sorry for the delay we just have to collect the body parts.”

    Beds are the stupid movable mattresses but not penguin on an ice slab sheets so I’m happy.

    Really in the mood for a coke.
