TUE: Planes-Trains-More Trains-Taxi-Bed

First post to cover off yesterday's travel.

Vancouver flight to Munich just at about 10hrs went fine. About once every 20 flights I guess I get a poor seat and this was one of those flights. Struggled to keep comfortable, constant shifting and propping pillow and blanket to give some kind of lumbar support. Also we had the 2 middle seats of a group of 4 so we had someone on each side. Kind of felt blocked in as we resisted sleeping while our seat mates slept making it difficult to get up and visit toilet.

From Munch we flew to Zurich, and got our walking in from one terminal to another. They did have nice chairs in the boarding lounge though.

The flight from Munich to Zurich was just an hour and yeah baby bike made it.

Than we started our train(s) adventure.
We in Canada, specifically western Canada, have little concept of European train stations and just how many people use them and how big and busy these places are. We were overwhelmed trying to clarify which track platform our train was. We hauled our stuff down to the correct track and waited for our train (to Bassel Switzerland). Well we suspected the train that eventually stopped in front of us was ours but there was no identification like previous trains that came by. We just stood there wondering how do we confirm this is our train. I walked down 10-15 meters and there was the digital display telling us yep that is our train just starting to take off. Missed it. Yikes. Went to ticket office, they were very cool, and re-did our tickets to grab another train. Did not miss that one.

However, now we were at the main Zurich station. Holy crap, bigger and busier. I went to find out what track and got lost for 15min trying to get back to track we came in on and where Sharon and luggage were. Some minor panic but with help found her. Then we went to track 10 and caught next train to Mulhouse. Misread that ticket and we missed our next train to Belfort. Exciting, yep, one last train scheduled and we DID not miss that one.

 Finally arrived in Belfort 11pm local (only 1 hr really behind initial schedule which goes to say how many trains there are).
Next a taxi to hotel. No taxis. Eventually went to closest hotel and got the front desk to phone a car.
15 min later we were checking in and went directly to bed.
