279/356: Ticket The Night Before..

.. I went on a trip.

This first is rather trivial but hey it's not food! I have a cool new one for 280 but it ment that I had to get up early and I wanted to stay in bed as long as possible. For that reason I bought my train ticket the evening before. I have never done this for travel within Switzerland. I felt so well prepared.

79/356: Cologne

I managed to solve my picture upload problem and therefore I am able to post earlier than I thought. Rejoice!

On friday, shortley after lunch I made my way to the train station and boarded a train towards Basel. After arriving in Basel I met up with a good friend who also used to be my flatmate. We boarded another train and headed straight on to Cologne. 

I have been to Germany on many occasions but never to Cologne. At least I don't remember ever being here. Since we arrived quite late I didn't get to see much yet. We are staying in an area which seems to be a little funky but has a cool vibe. 

The reason why I am in Cologne will be revealed in post nr 80.

A building we passed on our walk to the hotel

These guys are right opposite the hotel

The hotel facade, it's not that bad around here..

12/356: Austrian Train

So I had my first ride in an austrian train today. Not very exciting but it's something. As I am here on a seminar for the next two days I probably won't have much room for grand new things but I will try for sure!

The train took me from Salzburg to Gollingen-Abtenau. Just a 25min ride. We swiss are proud of our trains but I do admit, the austrains have nice ones as well.

5/356: Alternativ way home

Today I took the bus and the tram for my way home from work. This is was a change from the train that I usually take. I have to admit that I was more excited about this than I should have been. I really enjoyed seeing a different landscape outside the buses window.
