A note on curfews: there are no imposed curfews, except for tonight and as noted when the hostel/hotel has an institutional curfew – beyond which time there is no one staffing the front desk to let you in. If the doors are locked and you return past the institutional curfew, don’t be surprised if you spend a cold night outside on the front steps. You are free to keep your own hours, but are expected to manage your sleep cycle as mature adults with an early schedule to keep. If you do choose to stay up late into the wee hours, please keep things quiet in consideration of those old folks (like your leaders) who really are trying to sleep.

Tomorrow we begin European train travel. German and Swiss trains leave on the precise minute (and often the very second) they are scheduled to depart, so there is literally no chance of making a train if you are running late. Please please please take the timeliness of the European train schedule seriously. Your leaders and your classmates will thank you.

Note also that next to each day in Germany only, there is marked a “NO DB PASS” or a “TRAIN PASS #1” indicator – this tells you whether you may use (or not use) your DB pass for unlimited train travel on that day. The DB PASS you will be given CAN ONLY BE USED ON THE DAYS INDICATED, otherwise you will not have enough travel days to get where we are going. Pay attention to this so you do not accidentally “use up” your train pass before we are finished with Germany.

Bahnhof = Train Station; Hauptbahnhof = Main Train Station

With your permission, we would like to have your top ten pictures at the end of the trip in order to create an official souvenir album that we may make into a print media or multimedia document. We would also like to use some of these images for future advertising/promotion of this tour, and since you are part of the historic “first” event of this kind, we would like to have it be exceptionally well-documented. We are also going to be creating a short film, so any footage you get of real magnificence, from snow-covered Alps, to waterfalls, iconic cultural images, trains going over viaducts, students frolicking, etc, please consider letting us use your excellent footage.

WELCOME TO SWITZERLAND: You will notice that from now on, you have an unlimited train pass (SBB/CFF/FFS) for the remainder of the trip. This pass is good for all trains on all remaining days in our itinerary. It is also valid for almost every boat and bus, and all yellow Post Buses. If for a given transportation sector you don’t know, assume it is valid and get on. Your SBB SwissPass is also good for free (or heavily discounted) entry to over 500 museums in Switzerland, so you should Always Carry it With You, even on days you are not traveling on trains. It is a bit like an “all-access pass” to the entire country, and so you should use it to its fullest potential. Keep any/all ticket/stubs/receipts as proof of your visits, as we’ll want to see these for consideration of just who is the Most Adventurous Traveler. In addition to Museum Passes and Passport Stamps, collecting the free Train Schedule booklets in the train stations is a good way of proving you went to a far-away destination.
