Hey

Dunno if everyone is aware of this (maybe i’m the only stupid oneSmile) but when you’re getting a night train (or i guess any train?) – particularly in Central/Eastern Europe; I’ve never had a problem with this in Germany – make sure that you’re in the right part of the train cos they have a tendency to eh.. split.
For example, got a night train from Krakow to Budapest a few weeks ago.. on the platform it said Budapest/Bucharest.. thought nothing of it, just thought the train was going through Budapest on the way to Bucharest or something.. but eh, no. Half the train was going to Budapest and half to Bucharest. Of course we were in the wrong half. Being woken up by a ticket inspector at 5am somewhere near the Romanian border is not exactly my idea of fun Wink
