Train travel time again! Starting in Warsaw, I will make my way to the computer party #X2023 in Someren, Netherlands, and all the way back home to Oslo, Norway.
Check out my (Norwegian) travel microblog on Twitter (@kristianaas), and my (Norwegian) blog post about the journey, the party and my Commodore 64 demo group Hoaxers here: https://togoglok.wordpress.com/2023/03/24/neste-prosjekt-gamle-datamaskiner/
Neste prosjekt: Gamle datamaskiner!

Ok, da har jeg vært på løkfestival. Jeg har besøkt Europas største matmarked. Og jeg har hatt en vinter der jeg i stor grad har vært hjemme. Men jeg trenger et nytt, litt sprøtt prosjekt, og det ko…

Tog og løk
As a test, I will be doing English updates here, Norwegian updates on Twitter.
My first train trip is tomorrow. In the meantime, I will just be hanging out in wonderful Warsaw.
Now calling in for the night. Met a Norwegian woman from the Togferie-group at the wonderful Hala Koszyki earlier tonight. Highly recommended, both the food hall and meeting up with people you just barely know.
Tomorrow, it's time to head west. South-west, that is.

First train of the journey! From Warszawa Centralna, a station I find hard to love, I will head southwest towards one of my favourite Polish cities: Wrocław. Unfortunately, today I only have time for lunch there.

From Wrocław, I will head further towards what I hope is the very ugliest station in the whole country.

On this trip, I travel on a mix of single tickets and Interrail. Today and tomorrow, it's single ticket time.
Traditionally in Poland, tickets for PKP and regional trains must be bought at separate websites. As I have a connection with regional train today, I decided to try the independent ticketing app KOLEO, that can buy it all in one go. And it works very well indeed. Maybe an app you can add to your guide, @seatsixtyone?
Train number 2: a local train from Wrocław Głowny to Węgliniec, during rush hour. I promised to get some photos of this and the next train for @jon, but it will have to wait until Węgliniec: the platform in Wrocław was far too crowded.
Train number 3 was this cute little thing, rattling me along from Węgliniec to Zgorzelec Miasto, probably the ugliest train station in Europe.
Things immediately got better when walking towards Zgorzelec centre, and downright stunning when entering Görlitz. I can see why people dub it the prettiest city in all of Germany.
@kristianaas In 2010 I was on a trip to Prague, Zittau, Görlitz, Decin, Dresden and of course the railway lines in between. It was a kind of overflow of impressions.
