German Getaround ~ Hamburg to Erfurt

A video of my train ride from Hamburg to Erfurt, on my return trip from the Eurofurence 27.

I have no inkling that something is going to go wrong at this point, but as a matter of fact, this train should not take me all the way to Munich as I had assumed it would, but only to Erfurt ("He-Ford" (the most powerful ford in the universe!!!)) and no further.

It also takes a different route than the train to Hamburg, going via Berlin instead of Hannover. Distance-wise, that's a bit of a detour, but since that route is completely covered by high-speed tracks (unlike the bit between Erlangen and Hannover), it still takes about the same amount of time... or at least it should.

This first part of my ride home should take me mostly through the flat lands of northern Germany. Most fields have already been harvested by now, and there's a few forests, rivers and cities in between, but for the most part, the area is pretty clear, and dotted with many, many wonderful windmills. It is not until around after Leipzig that I start seeing the first foothills of the Mittelgebirge.
