more adventures in overnight train travel


the 15 hour journey from copenhagen to amsterdam was actually enjoyable and fun! and the time seemed to fly by. luckily the kids fell right asleep as soon as i turned the lights off after they enjoyed watching the first harry potter movie (we had just finished reading the book so they got the movie as a special train treat).

i am going to state the obvious that having a first class compartment is supremely better than a second class. we were comfortable and had privacy away from the riff-raff back in coach. ;-) we had a locking door and a key entry bathroom down the hall - with a shower, too! we had a sink with hot water in the room, fresh towels, and crisp sheets.

despite all of this i slept no better than in the second class cabin from frankfurt.. the neighbors were loud and the smell of the train brakes flooded the cabin every time we slowed down.

next week i will put some videos up on facebook so you can see what the cabin felt like.
