what genius planned me an itinerary that requires getting up early to make the only viable train of the day twice in three days (today and Saturday)?
...oh.

oh btw this was midnight tonight

omygod that's tiny ​​

anyway I've just had to shoo someone out of my seat while convincingly acting like I don't speak German - seems, from listening, that there's a tour group from an AIDA cruise ship here...

the rail line is certainly a lot more carved through the mountains in defiance of the gods than the road

oh hey we were held to let a freight train pass and now they're having a Time shooing all the cruise tourists who got off in that time back on the train

"oh by the way your phones are going to go off in a bit as we're back in the EU"

I'm starting to dislike this guide

We're now here for a few minutes to let two freight trains pass and this time the conductor has outright told people to step out if they want to. he's gonna regret that /hj

ngl this underpass looks a bit like it's out of a horror game

(I didn't dare venture further, not knowing how long we're stopped here, obviously)
