I think I had expected the sleeper cabin to be a bit more spacious but once we had stuffed all our bags and selves in, it was lovely.
Leon and I got complementary fizzy wine ‘trocken’ and the kids a juice. We spilled the wine and water everywhere, obviously.
There was an assistant on hand to fold down the beds.
As Zaki’s under 6, he didn’t get his own bed, so he was in with me, which was a bit squished. We fashioned some extra room with the suitcase that was wedged in beside us.
Oren in his top bunk:
It was very nice to wake up to the German countryside rushing past and the kids were very happy.
We had ordered fruhstuck the night before. Zaki invented a chocolate burger which was Nutella and salami in a roll. Surprisingly nice, sweet and salty.
