Jon WorthMoving day is here. This wall of boxes (and everything else) will go in a truck in Berlin that arrives at 7am. I’ll race ahead by train to be in Ravières ahead of the truck’s arrival there tomorrow morning.
And yes, I know a rail pro avoids Berlin Hbf. But the S-Bahn to Spandau is blocked by something on the track. So needs must 🙂
We’re playing Bahn Bingo here today
- carriage 8 missing
- train running in reverse order
- pretty much every device in the BordBistro broken
Plus there must be a defective toilet somewhere 🙂
BUT despite a police intervention on board we’re on time so far 🎉
Today is really weird
So as to make sure I definitely get to Ravières by train tonight so I’m there for the arrival of the removal truck tomorrow, I’ve left extra time for the connection in Mannheim
Meanwhile my father - en route from the UK to Ravières - is delayed due to a flood. And my partner is still in Berlin arguing with the removers who (wrongly) claim we have too much stuff
And I can’t do much about any of it!
Laura Howes@jon Least the weather is OK for you in this neck of the woods
@L_howes indeed! Looks like the trip I was most worried about - mine! - is the least concern.
@jon Random nerdy question - do you have to go into Paris and out again to get to Ravières or is there an alternative? The SNCF being a very different beast, I'm always surprised if I DON'T have to go via the capital.
@L_howes no you don’t. I am so as I can meet my father there. I’d normally go via Strasbourg, Mulhouse, Dijon instead.
@jon Aha, that was the possibility i thought might be doable. Well I hope your dad makes it OK despite all the excess water and that your partner can argue the movers into submission
@L_howes we are pretty sure the movers miscalculated, not us. We’d rather not leave a sofa behind! 🙂
