Today was another train day.  We’re took InterCity Express trains from Zurich to Hanover and then onward to Berlin.  Both Valerie and I are worn out by the pace of this trip.  Hopefully, a rest day in Berlin will help us recover.

While reading WikiTravel, I discovered that tap water is not served in restaurants in Germany.  This is a bit disappointing since tap water is usually our beverage of choice.  To see what all the fuss was about, I tried some of the tap water at our hotel.  It tasted almost as bad as the Bath Spa water.  I think it may actually be worse than San Jose water.  Luckily, there’s a Kaiser supermarket across the street that sells 1.5L bottles of water for less than a euro.
