And at last it’s going home day! The reality of this trip was almost as long as the blog posts about it – by the time I woke up in Warsaw on that last morning, to the first rain I’d seen since my first day in Berlin, it all felt so long ago I could… More Eras Train Tour: Monday in Warsaw – the end of an Era(s)
It is now October and this journey started in July and I’m still writing about it! Twice a week blogs mean eleven-day trips take a while, I guess. But it’s my last full day! It’s the day after I finally went to the Eras tour and I started it late and lazy with a quest… More Eras Train Tour: Sunday in Warsaw
By Saturday, after eight days on the go, I was kind of tired. My hotel was too hot, I’d glimpsed four cities over the last week and today I was finally going to see Taylor Swift, after possessing an Eras tour ticket for nearly thirteen months. I could have quite happily stayed home. But I… More Eras Train Tour: Saturday in Warsaw (and ERAS!)
I woke up on my last morning of train travel across Poland with a sort of sense of regret – not that I regretted finally reaching Warsaw on my eighth day of this adventure, but that I didn’t have longer in the really nice hotel room in Łódź! After the tiny apartment with unreliable water… More Eras Train Tour: Lodz to Warsaw
It’s now Thursday and I’m about to move on to my penultimate city! I woke up in Wrocław to find the water was off in my apartment. I had a day and a half of plates and glasses to wash, which is no problem – ten minutes in the sink, except there’s no water! That’s… More Eras Train Tour: Wroclaw to Lodz
Wednesday was another day of staying put after two days on the move in a row – Berlin to Poznań on Monday and Poznań to Wrocław on Tuesday. It was also my birthday, which was the main reason for it – I didn’t fancy hauling my luggage around a city, onto a train and then… More Eras Train Tour: Wednesday in Wroclaw
I didn’t at all want to leave my nice light cool apartment with the incredible view but I’d only allocated one night in Poznań. On the other hand, my train to Wrocław, my next destination, was at 15:44 so I’d actually get a little over 24 hours in Poznań. Did I want to spend the… More Eras Train Tour: Poznan to Wroclaw
On Monday, I went to Poland. This was a slightly harder journey than the one I’d originally planned and took four trains instead of one. I started planning this journey in about March, choosing my cities, calculating how many nights to spend in each so that I could get from London on one Friday to… More Eras Train Tour: Berlin to Poznan
Sunday dawned sunny with a hint of a cool breeze, just a pleasant hot summer day rather than the oppressive pre-storm heat of Saturday. I’d “done” the important expected sights; I could just go off into Berlin and please myself. Breakfast would be a good start. Being Sunday, all the little supermarkets were closed except… More Eras Train Tour: Sunday in Berlin
If you’ve been following the tale of my Eras Train Tour – London to Warsaw by train – you’ll know by now that I’m in Berlin. I was going to do a post per day following my eleven-day journey but a couple of things in Berlin demanded their own post so this is a roundup… More Eras Train Tour: Saturday in Berlin
