Ever heard of backpacking Germany in the middle of winter? 

I’m not really backpacking – but perhaps you can also call it that as I only have my backpack and I’m sleeping in hostels for the next 3 nights.  (Hostels are actually a good place to meet people from all over.)

This quick holiday started coz I bought a ticket to a concert in Hamburg – so I’m watching that tomorrow.  After that I’ll probably just hop on the trains and see where that leads me.  The plan is to also stop by Berlin – being the cultural and bar hopping center of Germany.   

I’m meeting some Norwegian acquaintance down in Berlin.

For the past 2 hours, I’ve been trying to organize a bit on my transportations in Germany.  The country has one of the most efficient train system in Europe (I’ve been there before as well – so I’m talking from experience – plus my Lonely Planet guidebook says so!).  And the best thing is that you can easily plan ahead (or not) by going to their website www.db.de.
