Front of the high speed train from Aachen to Berlin. Unlike the Thalys train I took from Paris to Aachen though, this one did not have power outlets for every seat, nor did it have complimentary food & drink service. All in all, rather annoying for a 5 hour train journey, but, since all my electronic devices were pretty much out of power following a busy morning in Aachen hunting down Wi-Fi networks, it was a good excuse to catch up on some sleep.

Now in Berlin for a few days, and the weather here is glorious; total opposite of weather.com’s forecast – last time I trust them when planning what to wear on a trip!
