After a run with Mamfa around Krakow, it was another long travel day today as we said goodbye to Poland and took the train to Berlin in Germany. Mamfa had his first travel stuff up by having a train ticket booked for 21 May instead of 21 June – what an idiot. Lucky there was space on the train and by the time they checked the tickets we were halfway to Berlin so they only charged for ticket for the remainder.
