Europe 2025 {Day2- Munich & Vienna}

On December 12th, I had an 8:31 train to Vienna.  I took a taxi to the train station and once I got there,  my train showed it was delayed.  I had breakfast at McDonalds and then I waited in one of the huts on the platform to get out of the cold.  At the time my train was now supposed to arrive, a train rolled in.  I boarded said train and found my car/seat assignment.  As soon as the train departed, I realized I had made the dumbest rookie move by not checking the train number.  After 10 years of traveling like this I like to think I'm not a rookie so I don't know what to say other than maybe jetlag had dulled my brain power!   I was now on a train to Munich!
