After the meet and the party, we bid a fond farewell to everyone and crashed for the night. The next morning (Sunday), our gracious host Rob S. gave us a ride to the train station in Amersfoort and showed us how to read the timetables on the board.



Our pre-purchased train tickets were timed really tight: Six minutes to change trains in Utrecht, and nine minutes to change trains in Frankfurt. I was a little worried about it, but it all came out pretty good in the end. In fact, the Utrecht transfer was so smooth and easy that I hardly even remember doing it.



On the train from Utrecht to Frankfurt, we got to be in one of the "expensive" seats, a cabin with a close-able door. Very nifty. Here's Rachel with some snacks on the little table in the cabin as Germany whizzes by outside.
