The next day, we had an early start. It was so early that
the hotel wasn’t able to open the kitchen for breakfast. Instead, we were each
given a carrier bag containing a hard-boiled egg, a cheese sandwich, a
strawberry yogurt, a juice drink and no utensils. This was so that we could get
to the train station in time and have our luggage screened while avoiding the
rush hour all before boarding a high-speed train. We then had an hour to kill
before boarding, so after exploring the various destinations on offer and
watching the guards shunt around in red bellhop hats, I bought us some coffee. Boarding
was quite simple and there were only a few stops to our destination; although
the journey would take a while. At one station we were able to disembark for a
while and take a stroll across the platform to take selfies of the engine. We
received complimentary hot drinks but we were recommended to buy lunch which
was a pre-packed sandwich, but there were also hot water dispensers for people
to cook dehydrated noodles.
