I didn't do much hiking this year so 600m d+ was a bit more tiring than it should be, but the scenery made it worth it. Plus, a really cool suspension […]

Love when DB tells me early enough about train cancellations that I can end up getting home 2h earlier than planned (and with a more direct itinerary).
Caught a direct 16:50 train from Frankfurt to Basel just before it left!

I just found this 3DS in one of my drawers that I had no idea I even owned. Probably not touched in 5+ years at least. Laughed a bit when I saw what was in the cartridge slot.

Fun fact: when the whole train car does this and people have their phones plugged in with notification sounds on, everything starts beeping in a loop until they get unplugged.
