We were still all spread out and relaxing in the train car. It turns out there was washed-out track ahead, so everyone had to transfer to a bus to get around it. The announcement was only in German, so we had no idea. It definitely pays to speak German around here! (Luckily a kind traveler noticed we had no idea what was going on and explained in English for us.) | |
