Early as it is, it is time for another #interrail trip.

It cannot be trains all day. A man’s got to do what a man’s got to do. Follow me for more beer suggestions (sometimes) at https://untappd.com/user/panomaki/beers

But enough beer. My next train is a Nordbahn Regionalbahn. It’s a FLIRT, but a battery one. So my first battery-electric train. Nordbahn has converted all their previous diesellines to battery electric.

@patrick Huh. I had expected you to take the boat to Gothenburg.

@patrick The other one sadly leaves too early to reach it from the Netherlands.

So whilst some had expected me to take a ferry from Kiel, that wasn’t the plan. There are three rail connections northwards from Hamburg: on the west coast towards Husum and Sylt, via Rendsburg and via Eckernförde. That last one is the one I’m taking, though as the rail bridge is in deplorable condition and can’t take the weight of trains or cars anymore, you have to walk across. They’ve started construction on a new bridge which is planned to be ready in 2027 (but locals say they’ll believe that after they’ve crossed it).

An early start today at 6am towards Denmark. The next one is bus replacement as read on numerous threads here so let’s just say I’m getting used to summertime already. It is getting light already but it’s hidden by a constant drizzle.

I knew coffee was free in first class on Danish IC trains, but to even get served a light breakfast!

But a quiz: I did hop into a Danish supermarket and got myself some chocolate. Which ingredient is NOT in it?
