I. The Deutsche Bahn

Captain’s Log: Friday, 10 August 2018

Accommodation: Airbnb in Hamburg

Travel Day: Vienna – Hamburg (09:15-20:30)

Weather: Nice and warm

Our journey started, in my case, once again tired because of a night without sleep, since apparently I’m only able to write papers during the night before a big trip.

Anyway, Manuel and me met up in the train, where I was able to get two good seats which were even not reserved.

Even though today was not very exciting, the whole travel day could be summarised as a typical day with the Deutsche Bahn. Meaning, we actually planned to change train in Würzburg, but luckily for us we found out in the right time that there were no trains from there to Hamburg because of damages on the tracks. So we had to change trains in Nürnberg, where we arrived about 15 minutes late.

Later, when we were Leipzig, we had to wait about 45 minutes because first the train with the driver, who was supposed to drive our train as well, was stuck somewhere. So the driver was late, and so were we then. But, until we then finally arrived in Hamburg, they managed to reduce the time we were late on about 20 minutes.

Once we arrived at our Airbnb, we both decided we would not go out anymore. Tooo tired..
