It's all written as if it were intended for unvaccinated travellers, but 70+% of people arriving are going to be vaccinated...
They'd do better to show this instead
And what country is a "Hochrisikogebiet"? Of course that's *not linked* from the system of filling in the form... but is available from the RKI here rki.de/DE/Content/Inf…
And when you submit your evidence of being vaccinated... it doesn't tell you *what* proof is even adequate
It's a bit 🤯 more than 18 months into a pandemic these systems are still such a mess...

vMax 280km/h (good)
The best quality ride, airy carriages, and these are the quietest ICEs (no motors whirring) and there's a proper Bordrestaurant
RANK 2️⃣
IC3 / Baureihe 403
vMax 300km/h (v good!)
One of these on the Köln-Frankfurt HSL is a joy, and the interior is good and being modernised. Ride is a bit bouncy. The best looking ICEs too
So how do you do sustainable travel for a work trip across a Europe in various stages of lockdown?
This week I am going to find out!
Quick 🧵
My work this week:
- webinars for a political client every morning 09:00-12:45 Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri
- moderation of an event in Bled, Slovenia all day Wed, and I need to be *present there* for this moderation
And as ever the requirement:
- do all of this without flying! 🙂
Today:
- webinar this morning at home in Berlin
- hop on the foldable 🚲 to S Hermannstrasse, then S-Bahn to Südkreuz, then ICE to München Hbf and EC to Villach Hbf 🇦🇹
- ticket booked 17 November cost €57,15 1st Class with a BahnCard25 1st Class
- hotel in Villach
As mentioned a few days ago, @OmioGlobal & I have had to postpone the #ZugGegenFlug experiment until early 2022 as rising Corona numbers and possible lockdowns mean doing it next month isn't possible...
The reason we had wanted to do this in December is because that's when rail companies across Europe introduce their new timetables, and we wanted to test if these new, faster rail services do work as greener replacements for flights
The crux is this: these 4G/4G+ routers - especially from SFR/Bouygues/Orange - are positioned as DSL replacements in areas of France where DSL speeds are >10MBit/sec
In rural Bourgogne where I might need to be for a while, promised DSL speeds are:
Bouygues 12MBit
Orange 12MBit
SFR 6MBit
Free - no idea, their website is clear as mud
BUT... SFR can offer a 4G+ Box instead, with speeds of *up to* 260MBit/sec download and 50MBit/sec upload
