My trip finally begins : Tonight, the 
453 will bring me in a comfortable wagon-lits to Berlin, the first stop of my #FOSSRail trip from 🇧🇪 Brussels to 🇹🇭 Bangkok connecting the FOSDEM with the FOSSASIA by train.
I will spend the next two weeks on trains across 12 countries and 11.000 km on rails.
May the games begin ✊🏽.

Due to exceptional terminus of Frankfurt(Oder) of the Germany - Poland 
EIC trains these days, we're taking the comfortable 
Desiro HC regional trains for 45 minutes before reaching our 
🤝🏽 
finally bringing us to Warsaw.

The 
vending machine is not able to sell tickets over the border from Frankfurt(Oder) to Rzepin. There is no other vending machine nor a ticket counter. So a national online ticket from Rzepin to Warszara it is and we will ask the conductor so sell us the international part onboard.

After arriving in Zagreb, I sadly had to turn back northbound immediately : The comfortable 
#Lisinski will guide me through the Alps while asleep ; arriving in 🇩🇪 #Stuttgart tomorrow morning during my travels to FOSDEM.

The business trip did business trip things but finally after three days I'm back on trains.
In order to get more night train for my money, I'm traveling southbound to 🇭🇷 #Zagreb. I caught the comfortable 
115 #Mimara connecting Munich, Salzburg and Villach with the Slovenian and Croatian capitals.
While there sadly is not @diningcar the friendly steward from DoN's arrived shortly after the departure in Ljubljana and served some tea with a sandwich along for my Slovenian local coke.
Now enjoying two hours of trains and winter rains outside before boarding my night train bringing my closer to FOSDEM.

After some more regional trains and a short 
InterCity ride, I could enjoy waiting for my delayed 40237 #Sava for three hours out in the cold.
Anyways, after all, my train arrived and I got a comfortable wagon-lits sleeper compartment for my night trip via Salzburg and Villach to Ljubljana.
Sleep tight everyone 😴.

Luggage packed, first #CrossBorderRail train caught : I'm leaving for three weeks of train travels today ; connecting the FOSDEM in Belgium via the Baltics, Kamchatka, Kazakhstan and China with the FOSSASIA in Thailand. My first destination will be 🇸🇮 #Ljubljana due to a business trip.
I gladly caught the last 🤝🏽

Meeeeeehhhh, why do 
Van Gölü Ekspresi and the 
Van - Tehran Ekspresi only run that rarely and why do they run exactly on dates causing me to wait three days in Turkey ? That makes 6 nights for crossing Turkey from Dimitrovgrad to Tabritz, that's a lot considering it's only 1000 km.
Question to the experienced #Turkey travelers here :
- The Van Gölü Ekspresi arrives at Tatvan at 13:44.
- The Van Tehran Ekspresi leaves Van at 21:00
Does the Lake Van Ferry run according to the mainline schedules and ensures transfer between the two trains ? I mean, it's operated by as well.
