Nothing like being in a comfortable train car, nodding off in your comfortable seat, and then you notice that all the other passengers are getting off. ALL of them. Time to actually pay attention to the announcements!
There was some kind of technical problem with the rear cars of the train (which of course I was in), so we all had to get out & walk up the platform to the front of the train, and it's the LONGEST train that legal in Germany (I like to think they run double-length trains in the middle of the night just for kicks). Bonus of the new seating -- in the very front car, and I can see the "windshield" or whatever trains have instead of windshields. And this is beautiful country, rolling down from Cologne and Frankfurt to Munich -- one of the most densely populated places in the world but it looks like forests and pastures and cows from the train, quite lovely. Remind me to move to Germany when Miramax greenlights my screenplay.
One downside of on-train WiFi is that connectivity is spotty -- every time we enter a tunnel, the world goes away -- and there are LOTS of tunnels. Like that last one. 2 minutes, I timed it! And we're going 249 km/h, so that means...
