Right now we are on the ICE train from Basel to Cologne. We are hauling ass! Going FULL SPEED! The fastest we saw the screen display was 299 km/hr which is over 185 mph!!! This is a very nice train! James said when we got on that this is worth the entire price of the Eurail pass. I tend to agree. This speed is exciting. We are totally whipping past the cars on the highway to our left. The only thing it is missing is internet access. We’ll be in Cologne in about 45 minutes from where we are right now. The total travel time today will be around 5 hours from Bern.
I’ve got almost caught up on the blog posts. I still have three days to cover from when I was in Bern – skiing at Gstaad, the Stockhorn and the Zentrum Paul Klee.
Happy New Year!
