This is of course a wonderful opportunity to people watch, and FFM HBF offers some excellent people watching...
It seems that DB are now doing the awesome trick of deprioritising your train once it's a certain bit late. It's getting progressively later and I'm not even on it yet. Will I make my connection in Hamburg? Up to the DB gods at this point.
A small consolation is that all the trains seem to be cooked at FFM today - first hot day?
Arrived in Kiel juuuuuuust under 2 hrs late. I'm convinced DB do this in order to not have to pay the bigger compensation that kicks in at the 2 hr mark 😂
Stunning day here, doing the last few errands before getting on the ferry to oslo this afternoon.
Priority boarding for motos and bicycles on the ferry.
We're still waiting for the cargo to finish loading. It's quite interesting, they have these trucks where the driver's seat rotates depending on whether they're driving or reversing - so essentially no reversing! Cool.
Turns out the colour line is actually more of a cruise ship than a ferry 😅
I only brought 2 changes of clothes, and none really giving cruise ship vibes. Oh well, leaning into it before we go and break ourselves cycling 😅
@ruari indeed, I'm impressed you can tell!
