I see now that I did not post any pictures or video's of my #TrainTravel trip back home.
Let me explain the reason for this:
I am quite a lengthy person, almost 1.90m long. The 'beds' in the #EuropeanSleeper are not that long, in fact I estimate that they are at most 1.70m long. And that is just too short for me. Even when I carefully positioned myself completely diagonally I could not fully stretch my body. That, combined with the movement of the train, the width of the 'bed' and the fact that you are sleeping in a couchette with 3 other people (or 4 on the way back), does not make for a 'fresh and fruity arrival'. I was broken when I arrived back home this morning and I had to spend the whole day in our own, very nice, bed to get back on top.
Don't get me wrong, waking up in #Berlin and driving in to Hauptbahnhof with the window open is wonderful. The personnel of the train is very helpful and nice and the train was clean, on time and generally outstanding even though the carriages are old.
The takeaway would be: if you are 1.70 or longer, and not used to sleeping in very confined spaces, do not take the European Sleeper train.
Experiment execution: succes!
Experiment outcome: not for repetition in this form.

Renforcer la défense de l'Europe: #Berlin et #Paris veulent développer des armes à longue portée
Les consultations franco-allemandes au château de #Meseberg visent à améliorer la capacité de défense de l'Europe. Paris et Berlin souhaitent développer conjointement des #missiles à longue portée. L’industrie de l’armement devrait également en bénéficier.
Within the limits of #Berlin's permission to strike #Russia, #Ukraine can theoretically shoot down the aircraft of the invaders in Russian airspace with German #Patriot air defense systems. This was stated by the head of the special staff of assistance to Ukraine at the German Ministry of Defense, Major General Christian #Freuding
