Onderweg naar Thialf voor een dagje meedraaien achter de schermen in aanloop naar #MiCo2026
De parkeerkaart heb ik vriendelijk voor bedankt. #treinleven
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.

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.

7/n Train manager repeats his request to please put your skis in the Bicycle Carriages 30 and 31, and not in front of exits and bathrooms. Also says that if you wanted to have a seat, you should have booked one. He can't help it. Trains are full during the holidays.
Yapping couple got off in Düsseldorf. We left Düsseldorf with 1 minute delay. Is this cause for celebration, or a dark foreboding of what is to come? Only time will tell.
Woman behind me is the ideal fellow passenger. Would love to chat about what she's reading, but this is the quiet zone, so I won't disturb her.

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.
