This is the latest of my trips to European capitals I hadn't been to before. Combined with trying out some new low cost travel options.

Step 1: Walk to local train station. It's about a 30 minute walk but the weather is fine. Cold but sunny. Since my plan is HBO and the destination is somewhere hot, I have eschewed a coat and gone for a T shirt and hoody but with a merino wool base layer. That will all pack down just fine and not hinder the rest of the trip. A few spots of rain started during the walk but I managed to get under cover before anything serious happened and "rained on my parade".
