We left Copenhagen and took the train to Frankfurt, with a stopover at Hamburg. This time when the train got onto the ferry, it was daylight, and we could see outside the ferry.
We arrived at Hamburg station feeling sore and tired after close to 5 1/2 hours journey. There was a German broadcast at the station and we realised those waiting at the platform for the train to Frankfurt started leaving. We suspected something was wrong, so we dragged our luggage all the way to the train station. We were informed that the train had some technical fault and we need to switch to another train. So we got our train tickets changed and proceeded to the next platform. After waiting a while, there was another German broadcast, and again, people started leaving the platform. We dragged our luggage again to the train station and was informed that the train was also cancelled due to technical fault. Imagine that. 2 trains all cancelled due to technical fault. We had to take the next available train, again getting our tickets changed. This train finally arrived. We reached Frankfurt tired and sore.
We checked into the same hotel that we stayed when we first arrived in Frankfurt, the Hotel ibis Frankfurt Centrum. For the next few days, we shopped (Rimowa luggage bags), and ate. As it was New Year, a lot of the shops in Frankfurt were closed.
On the 3rd January 2015, we took a morning flight back to Singapore, thus ending our epic Europe adventure.
