Yesterday
https://sakulight.blog/travel/day-11-neuschwanstein-castle-en/
After the fairy-tale castles of Bavaria, this day was all about movement—a long, scenic ride from Füssen to Berlin. No drama, no delays, just a slow drift across Germany’s heartland.
Morning in Füssen
Woke up at 6 a.m. for a 9:20 departure to Berlin (arrival at 17:11).
Route: RB77 from Füssen to Augsburg, then transfer to ICE708 bound for Berlin.
Tickets booked via Omio—smooth, and the Japanese interface helps a lot.
Before heading out, I stopped by a local supermarket chain for supplies:
- Volvic water €0.7
- Bread €2
- Protein bar €2
Roughly €5 total. Not bad for travel-day fuel.
Breakfast at the Station Café
Füssen station has a small café where I grabbed a schnitzel sandwich (€5) and an American coffee (€1).
The sandwich came with lettuce and tomato—surprisingly hearty.
The restroom system was classic German: borrow a key from the staff.
By 8:05 I was done eating; my 9:20 train hadn’t arrived yet, so I wandered the platform, half people-watching, half zoning out.
RB77: Füssen → Augsburg
First-class ticket. The carriage had sliding acrylic doors—quiet and spacious.
No Wi-Fi, but who needs it when you’ve got rolling green fields and tiny villages flashing by?
Arrived in Augsburg around 11:09, right on time.
Transfer at Augsburg Station
A 30-minute layover. Took a few photos, stretched my legs, and prepped for the next leg: ICE708 to Berlin departing 11:48.
ICE708: Augsburg → Berlin
Another first-class seat. Plenty of legroom, adjustable tables, power sockets, and clean restrooms.
The 2-seat rows have cup holders—small detail, big comfort.
The train started half-empty but filled up after Nuremberg.
The Bordbistro car served light meals, coffee, and even beer.
I just stuck with caffeine and the window view.
Arrival in Berlin
After 5½ hours, we rolled into Berlin Central Station around 17:30—slightly late but smooth overall.
From there, I took a bus to my Airbnb. Important note: Berlin buses are prepaid only and don’t take credit cards. Get a ticket in advance or risk the death stare of a German driver.
Quick Grocery Run
Once settled, I hit a nearby supermarket. Prices were similar to Munich—Volvic about the same, bananas slightly cheaper.
Dinner was light; the travel fatigue hit hard.
Looking Ahead
Tomorrow’s plan: the Brandenburg Gate, Potsdamer Platz, and the Festival of Lights in the evening—a full contrast to today’s quiet cross-country ride.
