good day in wuppertal." i'm using the deutschlandticket to head north now, out of germany's cities and to its coast. train horn blares in the summer, the trains up here get busy with beach—lovers, but the sunshine and crowds have thinned a little by the time i arrive. oh, wow, 0k — very, very windy, and this is schleswig—holstein, in the north—west of germany. any further north and i'll be arriving in denmark.
