...and the day we did.

As travelling to Warsaw had proved practically impossible, we decided to head straight to Krakow, where we had planned to go after Warsaw. Stralsund to Krakow is a long journey. The alarm went off just after 4.30am, we were on a train by 6.15, we changed at Berlin at 9.30, and then we were on the same train from Berlin to Krakow from then until nearly 8pm. I thought I’d built up a resistance to long journeys since being here, but I am not planning on doing another 13 hour journey any time soon, especially not one that involves ten hours on the same train. At least I was able to read, Georgina gets travel sick, and had to do the whole journey just listening to music and looking out of the window. Due to a problem with one of the carriages, we were moved to sit in first class, which probably made it a bit more bearable. Though sitting on any seat for 10 hours causes numbness, regardless of whether it’s made of leather and can recline.

I don't think I've ever been happier to finally get off a train.
