with Kevin

We count the stops and when we get to the stop we think we should be at Fussen we’re not.

train. Josie and I have seats across from each other next to the window.

Well everyone was trying to get on the same car as we were so Josie

decides we can get on at the other end of the car. The problem turned out

to be that we then had to haul our luggage through the entire car to where

our seats were, right at the other door. Then we had no place to put our

luggage and had to lift it above our heads to store it.  

of the way because we have stupid exams right when we get back to Bradford. I’m really disliking the British school

system, why would they have exams after break????

get off to switch trains to go to Fussen. Kevin stays on as he is heading

to Munich and then up to Berlin and to a ship further north.

read the timetable and pick a train that is going to where we want to go. We

had some issues getting on the train. Our bags are really heavy and we

each have a suitcase and a backpack, plus I was carrying the snow chains

for the car. So we get on the train to find that there is no place to

store our bags. We find a place to sit next to this German man and woman.

They have the two window seats so

we each sit next to one of them. We shove our carry bags under the table and

block the aisle with our other huge bags. There wasn’t any other option

that I could see. A few stops after we get on a man beyond where we were

says, “now we have a problem.” Apparently he had to get off. Well that was

fine I was just going to roll one bag out then let him back out and then

roll it back in.

to the stop we think we should be at Fussen we’re not. I’ve got my maps

out trying to figure out where we are, which places we’ve passes and if

we’re on the right train. At one stop we ask the man and woman if this

train was going to Fussen, they tell us that we should get off at the next

stop.

off. This is time number 4.

how we can get to Fussen. We have to haul our bags down the stairs and

haul them up another flight and then back on to a train.

station we’re supposed to get off at. Josie has a print out of all the

platforms so we don’t have to worry about figuring that out once we get

there. Then the door doesn’t open. We pressed the door open button, but it

doesn’t open. So we watch our stop go by.

There’s a train coming that’s headed to Fussen. We wait for that one.

staying at the Hotel Kurcafe for Christmas. We got this package deal for

Christmas that pretty much included everything we’d need and for what we

thought was a reasonable price. We found the hotel so easily. It’s right

near the train station about a block away.

we’d been travelling for 12 hours almost.
