The journey begins at 19:36 in Bern. I'm a bit nervous because it's becoming very real now and it's the last time I'll be in Bern for a long time. But I'm familiar with the first section, which makes the start of the travel adventure easier. First, I'm going to Basel, where the night train to Hamburg awaits me on time. Before boarding the night train, the conductor is waiting - and as if I could guess, with an important message for me. The sleeping car had a technical problem shortly before, so they had to replace it with a regular seating car. Oh no.. I think - does that mean...? Exactly, that's what it means. A night sitting. Swallowing hard once, or maybe twice. Poor conductor, who now has to tell that to all the travel enthusiasts. But I'm lucky in my misfortune, as we are three people in a 6-seater compartment, we can each have two seats. Both unfolded, this means an almost-bed. My fellow travelers are a mother and her daughter from central Switzerland and before falling asleep, we tell each other our travel plans.
