Frankfurt Again (or the Night of 1,000 Boys).

We made it back to Frankfurt in time to shower and check out. Now we have to wait until 9 pm tonight to catch the first train on our journey to Poland. It will be a three train trip taking all night and a big chunk of tomorrow.

We arrive in Warsaw around 8 am and our final destination Krakcow around ten. (I think, we need to check our tickets for the exact time). This won't be fun since we haven't slept yet, other than a nap in the hotel lounge earlier.  We are going to stay a day or two and get rested before we travel to Auchwitz.

Ist Stop: Hanover 

I was just advised by my fiance husband to think of something fun to do in a German train station in the middle of the night for two hours, that we won't get arrested for. Hmmmmm......

We are finally on our way to Poland after the Nuremberg/Frankfurt mixup.

Hanover: We arrived after sleeping for the entire two hour train ride. I fell asleep as soon as we started to move. Once in Hanover we had about two and a half hours to wait for our next train to take us to Warsaw.
The train station here is large with a two level shopping complex inside, which was packed with drunken young people.

The ratio was about one girl for every ten boys, and none of them seemed to be over thirty. We did a bit of investigating and saw that there are a few clubs around the station, and I don't think they close until... I have no idea, but fortunately there are lots of police and security people around. They kids are rowdy but seem pretty harmless.

(later) We are waiting on the platform, tired with sore feet from walking around for the past couple of hours. It is 3:00 am local time. We should arrive in Warsaw for 10:00 am and then we have another couple of hours on a different train to get to Krakow. I hope we get some sleep on the way and can get back on a normal schedule after this.
