Last Thursday we took the train to Berlin. All together an almost 9 hour train trip...on the way up I packed plenty of food for the girls. Made Salami (safe, from the butcher in town where everything is w/o any milk sugar) sandwiches, brought cookies, gummibears. It was fantastic enough to eat and we did not need to worry at all :) In the afternoon an icecreamwoman was announced and she walked through the train offering ice cream. We of course were sure that she would have popsicles w/o any milk. Where we wrong...the girls were both so disappointed. Good thing there is also a bistro on the train where they sell Pringles. Normally not the food of choice, but since the girls were so sad...the Pringles were a welcome treat. They loved them and forgot about the ice cream.
On the trip back we were not as prepared. We had stayed in a Hotel in Berlin and were not able to make sandwiches. We had plenty of snacks so. At lunch time I went to the restaurant car asking whether they had food declarations. And they did!!! There was one meal (Asian Noodles) the girls could eat and it was great. The bottom line is that it is quite easy to travel by train not really worry about the food. I speak German, but I certainly would have also found the information if I only spoke English.
Have a great day everyone...more from our European adventure soon :)
