Night train to Berlin

The night train to Berlin was an adventure. On boarding we made our way to our cabin, bunks beds prepared. We boarded the train just after five pm, the train departed Nyugati at 5:29.

The night porter instructed us how our wash basin worked, where the toilets are and how to lock our door. Breakfast was included in fare and we had a choice of 7 items.

The evening went by quickly, we had purchased our dinner prior to boarding the train - baguettes and we had a plenty supply of chips and chocolates thanks to Spar - the main sponsor of the Budapest Marathon.

On departure at Bratislava around 9pm we called it a night, tucked up in our bunks and turned out the lights. Our sleep, as it has been throughout our trip was intermittent, whilst the train was moving I slept soundly but stopping at stations and the change in rhythm of train woke me, or so I thought until Andy advised me we had passed through the very large station of Wrocław, which I knew nothing of.

I was woken by my alarm at 6am, feeling refreshed, it was still dark outside and we were still in Poland 🇵🇱, we had arrived at Zielona Gora Glowna, only 3 stops left, another 3 1/2hrs.

Our final stop before Berlin, Frankfurt an der Oder, brings blue skies and breakfast.

Onwards to Berlin we go, rested and fed.
