... distance train ride so that was an interesting experience. I couldn't even figure how to get out of my cabin, much less the train! Eventually I managed though, suitcase, pretzel salad and all. My pretzel salad got a bit soggy during transport but it was okay I suppose, not as good as my moms though.

... find our hostel. With a map in my hands, I figured out the most logical way to reach our destination by a combination of roads.
