I will only spend 1-2 hours here before taking the night train 

Visiting 3D printed bridge, which happened to be located in red light district

The new thing from this year is that the Interrail pass is now digital as a QR code on mobile phones. Unfortunately I had several issues with the pass, as it could just disappear when I had to show it to the conductor. It was very annoying, but later on, the issue was resolved.

In the Netherlands (just as in many other countries nowadays), it should work to open the gate with the QR code. Unfortunately, when I put my phone close to the gate it opened my Apple wallet with my credit card instead, so the solution was to hold the phone a bit away from the scanner.

And now, the new night train from Amsterdam to Austria. The train has become much popular with sold-out tickets on many departures

The train is combined of two trains, one with destination Vienna, the other one is for Innsbruck

193 766 is a Vectron MS from ELL and rented to NS, the locomotive can be used both in Netherlands and Germany

I was lucky to book this private compartment just for myself

There is both a toilet and shower inside the compartment

A key is available, but there is not much use of it as there is no restaurant car in the train

It is possible to buy drinks and food that can be brought to the compartment, but I had bought the food at the station in advance

Already in Germany
