What are we up to for today? What makes nerds get up early? Some journey ahead ...

#trainstory

Changing trains in Madeburg, having a snack, enjoying the sun.

Train staff didn't accept us presenting our digital ticket on ebook reader 🙄 - they are not allowed to scan arbitrary QR codes without "verifying where they are coming from".
