Today hasn’t started yet. Despite all the screens saying no problems, I board the Hengelo train an hour earlier than planned and the driver announces a major disruption incident and that the train is delayed “indefinitely”
I think I might not get to Norddeich Mole today!
Big thank you to @Chep87 who I met yesterday for some dinner and a good long chat about all sorts of things! 
I could’ve stayed on the Hengelo train, but it was a risk. Taking the ICE towards Münster and picking up the Teppich-RE there was a good call.
Was nice to walk around Münster Hbf and see what facilities are there. It’s actually a nice station.
Anyway: next stop for me is Norddeich Mole! New territory for me, der Elefant und Herr Pinguin. They are happy about the view from the table - there’s plenty of seats at the rear of the train in the Steuerwagen.
Made it to Emden Hbf with no issues. I would do the short trip to Außenhafen, but I’ll save that for a trip where I cover the bit of line Leer > Oldenburg.
We’ve got some dwell time here so I used the opportunity to stretch my legs and take a picture of the Steuerwagen
