12/n Anyway. I made it on my next train with if not a snack, then at least a low-calorie drink. Had a few minutes to remember bwegt for making me miss my train by just a hair back in February 2020, when I was travelling back home from Titisee. Otherwise I'm enjoying the views!

A forest in golden light. The roof of the shed in the foreground and forest floor surrounding it are covered in a thing layer of snow. Sky is blue.
A white-and-yellow train with the text "DB Regio fährt für bwegt Mobilität für Baden-Württemberg"
View of a train shunting yard with many trains. Also hills in the background.
My hand holding a can of lemon-flavoured Fanta.
13/n When I book my seat, I often cannot get my preferred seat. I'm always curious to see who got that seat, wondering if they are similar to me. In this case it is a German guy in his forties(?) with a green scarf. After evicting the people who had taken his reserved seat, he folded the scarf very carefully and put it in his backpack. He then ate a cream cheese sandwich that smelled very garlicky. He's now reading a book called "Dirtbag Billionaire". When I initially looked it up, I misremembered the title and searched for "Dirty Billionaire". Turns out that's also a book. Massively different vibes, tho.

11/n The delay of my previous train meant that I didn't have time to buy a snack during this layover (obviously I'm not going to sacrifice geocaching time), but that's just as well, because yesterday evening I had a big slice of this cake I baked for dessert.

9/n Another Ideal Fellow Traveller ™️ just asked the guy in front of my to please turn the sound off on his phone. I love her.
10/n Time for a sight-seeing break! I had a 52-minute (ahem, 46-minute) layover at Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof, so I took advantage and went geocaching. It's an absolutely gorgeous day!

Geografische Koordineten: 48º 46,715 'N 09º 10,721 'E

Einrichtung im Jahr 2012 anlässlich der 25-jährigen Amterpartnerschaft zwischen dem Stadtmessungsamt Stuttgart und dem Service de l'Information Geographique Strasbourg.
It also shows an image of what looks like satellites circling the earth.
Memorial to Dr. Eugen Bolz. It's a bronze sculpture of a man who seems sort of half-trapped in a wall. His hands are shiny from where people have touched him. Above him is what looks like a hook for hoisting heavy things with a crane, on a steel beam. Above that a hand making the gesture that you make when you swear an oath.
The Pavillion on Palace Square. It is very ornate and people are chilling inside. Behind it is a tall Christmas tree and a shopping mall in neoclassic style.
View of Stuttgart's Palace Square. Main eye catchers are a 30 meter high column with a statue of the Roman Goddess Concordia on top (Jubiläumssäule) and an equally tall ferris wheel next to it. In the background is the palace, with hills behind it. In the foreground is grass with people on benches and strolling around. Sky is blue and sun is shining.
8/n Took another bathroom break and pondered the concept of Braille on a no-touch flush.
Happy to report that the train toilets are still very clean.
Spit girl drank a can of red bull and passed out. Ideal fellow traveller behind me is still fab.

I had a bit of time, so I ran to Via Balbi, where there is one of my favourite focacceria in Genova. It was closed 😢

5/n Just got on an international train to Germany!
My mouth tasted of moo juice and the girl next to me was loudly smacking her way through a box of mini bell peppers, so I decided that to take advantage of the fact that the train toilets are probably going to be as clean as they get until I reach Switzerland, and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth.
Just returned and the girl is busy taking selfies, using her own spit to style her hair in pursuit of the perfect shot.
Couple in front of me has stopped yapping, so the silence is only disturbed by the couple yapping on the other end of the carriage.
