The Volcano trip: Copenhagen – Munich

16 May 2010 mandag

The train left Copenhagen when the clouds had turn dark and the rain fell down over our heads. The exiting trip to Munich had started! We were staying in a cochette, a cabin with 6 beds. We were 5 people charing this cabin and i might say the space we shared were tiny. But the trip went on without any problems, it turns out it is very cosy to travel by train by night. Everyone is sitting up, chatting with eachother in the cabin, sharing a bottle of wine and slowly fall asleep in the rythm of the rocking train.

To sleep in a cochette was not bad either, you have little space but the beds are roomy enough to be able to turn a little and hard enough to get some good sleep. The best thing though was the sun waking you up in the morning. We woke up very early for once and i had for a long time never felt better. The view from the train was amazing, Germany is green and spacious and the further we go the greener it gets.

After changing train in Munich we were headed to Bologna

From Munich the landscape changed, suddenly we were in a valley with high mountains around us. We have arrived to the border of Austria. The architecture in the small villages we passed was fantastic, white stone houses with wooden roof and balconies. Some of the houses were built on hills in the rolling landscape which makes you wonder, how they manage to built them in first place? We could see the trees blom at the same time as we saw snow on the mountain tops. Austria is absolutely amazing during this time of year, the contrast of the landscape cannot be described perfectly, it must be seen!

    Hej Amanda och Jeremy! Kul att ni äntligen fått upp ögonen för det underbara Österrike! Förstår ni nu varför vi tillbringat 40 år därnere, ett par tre veckor varje år? Vi brukar vistas just i de trakter ni passerade, vår närmaste järnvägsstation är Wörgl, ca 10 mil från Munchen. Våra cyklar står där just nu och väntar på att vi ska cykla vidare på dem i augusti/september. “Vår” lilla by heter Söll. Har ni tid att hälsa på oss, så har vi ledig stuga vecka 23, 24 och del av 25, som det ser ut just nu – men det kan ändras snabbt! Kram!
