Having been in Eastern Europe, it’s hard even to express just how comforting the rail system is within the Deutsche Bahn’s sphere of influence. I was planning on taking the night train from Munich to Paris, but it was fully booked, so I’m going to spend a few hours in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg instead. I should get into Paris early enough to take a walking tour, and without needing a reservation to boot. [I actually spent my last night on the Continent on a park bench in Luxembourg, getting eaten alive by mosquitoes.] Then it’s Brussels, and home. The past few days, essentially killing time, have made me homesick for the first time. So yes, I am looking forward to not living out of a backpack for, oh, the rest of my life.
