\"\"When you go by train with Deutsche Bahn, the sentence above is one of these
\nyou\u00b4ll hear at each station the train is about to stop. Annoying when the train
\nis late (again!). In my case just that happened. I am sorry that my blog entry
\ndidn\u00b4t show up yesterday as intended. But it\u00b4s the cellphone net, you know…<\/p>\n

Okay… let\u00b4s just see my travelling plan here…<\/p>\n

Departure in Berne, 12:04… CHECK!<\/p>\n

Friday, October 5th, 2012 12:04 – Berne, Switzerland<\/h3>\n

The train from SBB leaves as intended. In time and as scheduled… fine. Punctiality made in Switzerland. I like that.<\/p>\n

As the train gently shakes and rushing with 200km\/h towards Basel, passing several tunnels, the beautiful scenery passes by. Dozing away a bit and resting…<\/p>\n

Friday, October 5th, 2012 12:56 – Basel, Switzerland<\/h3>\n

The train arrives and the connecting train to Karksruhe, Germany is ready to leave. So I switch trains and as expected, the car wasn\u00b4t filled much. I got myself a seat in a compartment and resting. Waiting for the train to depart. Already 10 minutes late… at the start of the journey. How is THAT possible? Maybe the driver didn\u00b4t arrive in time or didn\u00b4t find the button to start the freakin\u00b4train? Nobody knows why the train begins it\u00b4s route with delay.<\/p>\n

Friday, October 5th, 2012 14:56 – Karlsruhe, Germany<\/h3>\n

Okay. We have arrived in Karlsruhe and my connecting train goes at 17:06…
\nA good friend of mine is in near and she took the idea to come to Karlsruhe also for a short meeting. Sure, why not. Intending to arrive at 15:09, she also got victim of\u00a0 the “Versp\u00e4tungsgarantie der Deutschen Bahn” (delay warranty of Deutsche Bahn). So she finally arrived at 15:35.
\nSo we took a seat outsde the train station, as the weather is warm and invitingly sunny. Was a real nice meeting and we planned to meet up more often in the future. (I must admint, I haven\u00b4t been travelling much in the past, except for work! So seeing other cities ain\u00b4t a bad idea anyway! Thanks fly out to Sarah who made me the offer – Although you say, Pforzheim is small, okay, maybe so, but it has the same size as Bern, so you\u00b4d think of what to show me when I\u00b4m around \":)\" )<\/p>\n

Friday, October 5th, 2012 17:06 – Karlsruhe, Germany<\/h3>\n

Okay, back to the train station in Karlsruhe, Sarah decided to take the regional train to Pforzheim (already delayed (surprise surprise!) 10 minutes. And guess what… yeah, my train is also delayed (anyone surprised here?! *annoyed grunt*). Okay, let\u00b4s have a quick peek on the schedule. My train was supposed to arrive at 19:06, the train to munich goes at 19:17… 11 minutes for switching train, when they\u00b4re in time, that is! Okay… one minute for switching trains, not much time, considering that I have to pass several people jamming the platform and walking down to the end of the platform to switch tracks… wooohooo! But then, the relieving announcement buzzes through the speakers that my train to Munich (much more surprise here!) is also delayed.<\/p>\n

Friday, October 5th, 2012 19:26 – Stuttgart, Germany<\/h3>\n

10 minutes in delay, I got my train to Munich and I again had to deal with the mood of the german cell network. On off on off no network on off no 3G, just GSM, Edge, UMTS, my iPhone switches several times trying to get a glimpse of network to keep me in touch with the world. The efforts are okay but the battery pack thanks me with a warning that it\u00b4s running low. Okay.. let\u00b4s put the little fella to sleep… errr… Flight mode!<\/p>\n
