Planning ?

The idea this time is not to plan much before we actually travel. So far we've booked our outward journey and accommodation as far as Hamburg. Also accommodation in Cuneo for the festival there, the rest we'll try and do on trains.

It looks like we'll be able to go after all. I've booked us on the night train from Stockholm to Berlin on Monday 9th, and a hotel in Potsdam 10th. After that the only plan is Cuneo from Friday 13th (!) to the following Monday.

We then got on a train for Norrköping and had an even longer wait there than we would have had in Stockholm. It was comforting to see that the competing Snälltåget was delayed by about 45 minutes, but ours was in time! I don't know if they made up that time or not, but we were about 30 minutes late arriving in Berlin.  There must be something big going on in Berlin at the moment because hotel rooms start at about 400 euros! We booked in Potsdam for less than half that, and have had a very nice day on a hop on hop off bus.  Potsdam is a very interesting city a bit bigger than Västerås, with history going back some hundreds of years with lots of kings, mostly called Fredri
