Day two of Snoozing to Split started early as I arrived into Berlin onboard the European Sleeper at just after six in the morning. After an amble around Berlin’s Hauptbahnhof whilst dropping of my bag and having a lazy breakfast at McDonalds (its foreign food if you can’t buy it in the UK right?), it was finally a reasonable hour and time to head into the centre of Germany’s capital.
Having arrived in the Belgian capital onboard a Eurostar service from London, I had just under seven hours in Brussels until I was scheduled to depart onboard the European Sleeper. With Eurostar terminating at Brussels Midi/Zuid, I was a little bit out of the city centre, and so I headed round to the main domestic concourse ready to catch a train to my first stop.
Having arrived at Geneva on an easyJet flight from Luton, and having made sure I didn’t accidently exit the airport into France, my first task was to head into the city itself. With the airport’s underground railway station being the terminus of a number of Switzerland’s intercity railway service, it was easy to catch a train for the short journey into town.
Arriving in Aarhus, the largest city on Denmark’s Jutland peninsula and the country’s second largest city, on a Ryanair flight from Stansted, I headed outside the airport’s shiny new terminal to catch the airport bus into the city.
This post is the second of two parts covering our stay in the Bassin d’Arcachon area and the things we got up whilst we were there. As the name of the area may suggest, the Bassin d’Arcachon’s main town is Arcachon which sits at the south-west corner of the bay, on the eastern side of the inlet where the bay meets the Atlantic.
Having caught the TER into Bordeaux Saint-Jean, we headed outside the station to catch one of the city’s trams. With four lines spanning the city, Bordeaux’s tram network is a great way to get around and a TBM day ticket can be purchased for €5. These tickets cover unlimited use of the trams, as well as the city’s buses and water buses and so really are a bargain.
