  • High drama in night as lady passenger had her handbag nicked. #
  • Hein. Late arrival of night train and long, poorly managed Eurostar check-in queues made Paris a little hairy. #
  • Unable to answer fellow passenger’s question “Ebbsfleet? Where’s that?” #
  • @libdemjo Tell them you’re not putting out for anything less than caviar? 🙂 #
  • Looking at other people’s powerpoint presentations and pitying the people who have to sit through “UK acquisitions 2” #

  • @dr_nick and we all know being an hour early will count for nought the next time you’re 5 mins late. 😦 #
  • Packing a lunch and heading to Dachau to see the stately home and the concentration camp. #
  • Looking at sky and wondering whether to take brolly. So far, I’ve called it wrong every day. #
  • Leaving Dachau. #
  • @meryl_f getting Schlafzug to Paris tonight, back in Nottm tomorrow lunchtime. #
  • Vocab tip of the day: Schlafzug = sleeper train; Schlafanzug = pajamas. #
  • It’s a crying shame the Italians only taught some of the Munich people how to make coffee. #
  • Packing my bags and getting ready to lug them to the underground station. #
  • Hmmm. Bionade. A mix of cola and fizzy orange. Whyever has that not caught on in UK? #
  • So far, I have a compartment to myself. Hope that doesn’t mean 3 noisy drunks turn up at last moment. #
  • Hmmm. Still not departed. The night service to Budapest has just pulled in alongside us. #
  • We’ve set off. No-one has checked my ticket. If this isn’t the 2053 to Paris, Auf Wiedersehen Eurostar connection. #
  • @jamesgraham the bottle says it’s “unforgettable” – and it’s not wrong! #
  • A woman in a colourful jacket carrying a salad has got on at Augensburg. She thinks we’re going to Paris too. #
  • She’s also worked out why there’s only 1 sheet per bed. You’re supposed to fold it in half and sleep between. #
  • @meryl_f it said single sex cabins on website when I booked, but it’s been mixed on both journeys. No-one undresses! #
  • @libdemjo maybe you could suggest improvements and offer constructive criticism rather than complain? #
