Anticipation...

18 July 2019

15 lots in this bowl of glass. 15 possible destinations. The chosen lot will tell me, by a look in the departure screen at the central station, what my first destination will be. North? West? or South? I am so thrilled by the feeling of adventure. Where will I go? Where will I be?

Is the identity of an interrailer the one with a backpack only? Will I maybe give up the nostalgic dream of leaving home with my backpack, (bought 1990 for that year's coming interrail trip) for pulling my suitcase? I remember talking with an interrailer in the late 80's that made his trip with two suitcases. When talking to him, he had left one of them, was it in Switzerland?, and was going back one day to fetch it...

Well... That might be a bit stressful as there may be just a few minutes to the first departing train... Or... As I saw yesterday while having a look on bookable trains, there were a lot of rows of "Fully booked". Maybe I will just get on the first train with a free place...

Yey! I did catch the very first train (departing 3 minutes after I arrived at the station and took this photo). And it also was the first train with a free place :-)

However, I am not going very far today... Unless I decide to take a night train...

First coffee to get me a brain competent enough to make a decision
