i'm at the start of my journey home. I'm sitting at vienna's west train station. The 10.40 inter city train will take me to frankfurt in about 7 hours. I have a seat reserved so hopefully it won't be too much hassle.
I don't know whether i'll have internet access or power on board. I'm doing this blog from my phone and it may be the last thing i can do if there's no way to charge the phone on board.
It's a nice sunny day in vienna. Sod's law really - weather gets nice just as i leave!
Looking forward to getting home.

You're not the only one, Rik. This was in The Guardian:
ReplyDelete"Seated in Chetwode's vessel, Mike Jones, an energy trader from London who had taken a series of trains from Vienna after the ash cloud left him stranded, said: "We were going to get the ferry but then this guy offered us a crossing for the same price. We thought, 'Why not?'"
He was feeling "horrendous" after his journey – a 10-hour overnight train from Vienna to Frankfurt, a five-hour train from Frankfurt to Paris, and a two-hour train from Paris to Calais-Fréthun. "The trick," he advised, "is not to sober up.""
