After looking at the departure board and not seeing our train and looking at our ticket we realised we have 25 minutes to get to Westbanhof and on to our train. Luckily we made it by the skin of our teeth as we sat down in our seats the train pulled off. PHEW.

Probably have way too many clothes but it was hard to decide what to take. Never really thought about how many clothes I could possibly need for a month let alone get my mind around just having the bare minimum to fit into my backpack.
