    So we’re going to go and get our sleeper train Looking for a sleeper train to Amsterdam It’s like Berlin all over again There it is, platform 8 A-E It tells you where your car is Can you see us? 252 So we’re in the middle I’d say The train arrives Look for 252

    It’s right down the other end, Charlie It’s our little room It’s better actually I told you it would be nicer. Comfy seats What do we get in here? We get slippers… Is that mine? No. Where’s mine? We get an eye mask We get water Two only And we get…what do we get here?

    We get some sort of…snack Goodbye Vienna Oooh, we’re getting champagne already Do you want to use my one? It will be easier Free champagne Not much use for Charlie and you get a real glass Cheers Why am I doing this? So, room tour again Erm…so, very good seats

    Good seats? They do look comfy Ahhh, it’s my dream So you’ve got a little table A table which I believe we can take down What else have we got? We’ve got plug sockets We have a typical European plug socket Is there one under mine? No Do what’s in here

    Oh yeah, so there’s two plug sockets It’s in here You’ve got a light There’s the plug socket Turn the light on To me I’d say it looks like when you go in those fashion shows when you’re getting ready It’s like they got these lights, don’t they? These beams of light

    Is it quite big? Is it too big? No, it’s…how can it be too big? No I like these, these little headrests Toilet tour Toilet Hi there And a shower It’s not looking good We’re stuck Somewhere in Cologne and we’re already an hour and a half late Nice Sat there in your

    Pyjamas, and there’s those people going to work in the morning [Dear passengers] [due problems] [ at the traffic control centre] [in Dusseldorf] [how long this is going to take] [I will let you know as] [when I have more information] We’ve run out of water in the carriage Look at this Oh!

    Oh, you’re serious! There is water Hmmm? He’s bringing the breakfast now He said frühstück And look, we’ve got our room back It’s breakfast Roll… Got orange juice I’ve got some sort of coffee, I hope Charlie’s butter which he’s kindly given to me and I’ve got a yoghurt

    And Charlie’s got a yoghurt, you can choose which yoghurt you want, Charlie Oh no, I’ve got bircher yoghurt, you wouldn’t like that So they gave us two loaves And I’ve gone and chose nutella Probably what every kid in the car chose and Darbo honey [Dear passengers] [I don’t have any new information]

    [Of course when I receive new information] [I will let you know] [Due a lot of] [malfunctions and problems] [in Düsseldorf] [we don’t stopping in Düsseldorf] Party carriage… the not party carriage Last country, last day [Dear passengers] [Welcome in The Netherlands] [Estimated arrival time in Arnhem Centraal is] [11 o’clock]

    [Dear passengers in approximately 2 minutes we are arriving in Arnhem at platform 9] Classic Dutch train, Dad Blue and yellow? Guys, look at where we are That’s Amsterdam If you can see that little blue dot, we’re there We’ve just left Utrecht, is it? Should have been in Amsterdam at 10 o’clock

    And by now we’d be wandering around and having a look Ten to twelve and we’re still on the way there Well, a lot later than scheduled We were meant to be here two hours ago Two hours twenty minutes we’re late But we made it But how did it get delayed?
