When it was time, we were told we could board the train. We walked and walked … I think our car was the second to last. We used our room key to enter room 2 in car P. Such a tiny room, but it’ll do.

Taking this train is costly, but it allows us to have one night lodging, a train to our next location, and breakfast. Plus it means we don’t lose a day in travel.

We managed to get things into the room, although Dan’s luggage wouldn’t fit under the bed. After filling out our breakfast form we walked it down to the dining car. We weren’t required to walk it there, but just figured we’d do it anyway. We asked for a 7:00 dining time, but were told it could be 6:45 or 7:15, as 7:00 had already been filled up. 7:15 it is.

This means we get up around 6:30. I set my watch alarm and my phone alarm since I’m never sure if I’ll feel the watch or hear the the phone but between the two surely one will work!

After tooth brushing and all I climbed the ladder to my bed. It’s all rather funny attempting to maneuver on the top bunk, but I managed and as I write this I’m just hoping I sleep some.

Of course I can’t post this until tomorrow, so stay tuned and I’ll fill you in on the sleep bit.

And finally … posting now!
