Bad Internet in Bad Aachen

This post continues a series recounting some travel mostly in Western Europe in Summer 2018.
I was pretty damn tired.
I flew back to Berlin from Budapest and spontaneously stayed in a friend’s apartment. I had a train to catch, departing from Berlin Hauptbahnhof at 6:51 AM.
Four hours later, I needed to change trains in Köln. I was immensely pleased to have the chance to look at the famous and beautiful cathedral, and immensely displeased to discover my connection was cancelled.
Fortunately, the German rail system is designed with flexibility in mind, and so there wasn’t actually any hard requirement that I needed to ride on that particular train. I caught the next one, an hour or so later.
Fresh-faced and dewey-eyed, I emerged into the charming city of Aachen.
