I can't quite remember what ICE stands for but it is a very fast International train.
Firstly we checked out of our hotel and dragged our bags through the snow to the train station. The first leg of the journey was just to get the local train to Amsterdam.
After a few delays at Amsterdam and changing from one train to another we were on our way. All was going quite well until Frankfurt Airport. One of the guys was stuck behind someone in the corridor, the doors started beeping and he was stuck on the train. thank heavens the next stop was Frankfurt and only 10km down the track (very lucky because some staions are hundreds of km apart) WWe waited for him to return and that meant we misssed our connection. Instead of having a straight through train we again had to change. By now you have a very paranoid goup of people who weren't game to take a seat. We hovered around the doors for the remainder of the journey just to make sure that we could all get off. By this time it was peak afternoon and the trains were full.
Prior to this excitement we did get to travel at and amazing speed
So it was a very exciting trip. It made it a very long day and we problay had three or four extra changes and arrived about an hour late, but when we got to Stuttgart there were two SATA men waiting to pick us up and we have been treated like royalty since we got here
