Now that I call an appetizing name for a train! This train connecting Vienna with Freilassing (Germany) is named ‘Gutes Essen im Zug’ (English: ‘Good meals on train’)

Candles for Václav Havel
4 days before my visit in Brno the essayist and politician Václav Havel died. Many places in the city were covered with candles, photos, letters and even drawings. It’s impressive to see that a person has found its place in the hearts of the people, isn’t it? It reminds me of we all should do something to find our place in someones heart.
Beautiful ceiling in Brno
If one dare to look through open doors of buildings built in 19th century one often get awarded by seeing wonderful ceilings and staircases. For example I saw this wonderful ceiling behind a door in Brno, Czech Republic.
Marvellous facades in Brno
Some facades I came across near the railway station of Brno. In cities with railway stations built around 1900 one can see a lot of fascinating architecture near these stations. Therefore I love to stroll around these quarters and to take photos like these ones.
Lunch at Czech dining car

Gasometer City in Vienna
On my train journey to Brno, I passed the Gasometer City in Vienna. Can you see the modern houses inside the structures of former gas holders?
Construction site of Vienna Central Station
My 10th day of my InterRail journey started in Vienna. From my train to Brno I had an excellent view of the huge construction site for the new Vienna Central Station (Wiener Hauptbahnhof).
1st class at a Czech EuroCity
10th day of my InterRail Journey: A visit in Brno, Czech Republic. A Czech EuroCity is waiting for me in Vienna.
The 1st class coach of the Czech train was one of the cosy ones. No big tables, only folding tables in the back of the seats.
Power outlets were only at a few of the seats available. I liked the train though as there was a great dining car with Czech specialities at the next coach.
Monument to Sisi at Wiener Westbahnhof
The 9th day of my InterRail journey ended at the railway station Wiener Westbahnhof in Vienna. It was nearly midnight when I arrived. Only the statue of Elisabeth of Austria (‘Sisi’) bid me welcome.
1st class of the Frecciargento
Inside the 1st class of the Italian high-speed train Frecciargento. It offers large tables which I generally prefer. What are your experiences about working on tables in trains?
