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.
