Travelling from Netherlands to Italy by train today. How many times will I get Deutsche Bahned? Place your bets!
Jokes aside: I already met a friend on the first train this morning and I’m now on the second in the quiet zone with few people around me and a nice seat, so all’s good 😊

The first Deutsche Bahning has happened.
Train was already delayed by 40 minutes because we had to take a detour due to a collision on our route (in NL). That likely means that some family somewhere is receiving terrible news today, and my heart goes out to them.
However: we're now delayed more b/c stuck in Germany because an upcoming railway crossing is faulty, so I guess this is my official first Deutsche-Bahning today. 🤷♀️
Next train was sufficiently delayed that I could make the connection. However: it was decided that that train would remain in Germany and not continue to Switzerland, so I had to catch another train to Switzerland, which I could not find in the db app, but which at least tells me what time I'll arrive at Basel SBB.
So... Initially, there was a second case of Deutsche Bahning that actually undid some of the NS-ing and the Deutsche Bahning experienced earlier, only to be undone by further Deutsche Bahning.
I don't know how to count anymore.
Anyway. I'm on a full train and the sun is in my eyes and everybody is talking, but at least it's warm and I found a seat.
Made my last train transfer of the day (I hope)!
