My trip finally begins : Tonight, the 
453 will bring me in a comfortable wagon-lits to Berlin, the first stop of my #FOSSRail trip from 🇧🇪 Brussels to 🇹🇭 Bangkok connecting the FOSDEM with the FOSSASIA by train.
I will spend the next two weeks on trains across 12 countries and 11.000 km on rails.
May the games begin ✊🏽.

Due to exceptional terminus of Frankfurt(Oder) of the Germany - Poland 
EIC trains these days, we're taking the comfortable 
Desiro HC regional trains for 45 minutes before reaching our 
🤝🏽 
finally bringing us to Warsaw.
The 
vending machine is not able to sell tickets over the border from Frankfurt(Oder) to Rzepin. There is no other vending machine nor a ticket counter. So a national online ticket from Rzepin to Warszara it is and we will ask the conductor so sell us the international part onboard.
After 4 hours in the 🤝🏽 EIC, we arrived in Warsaw. Two hours of transfer here allowed me to exchange some currency and grab some food before boarding the connecting 🤝🏽 
IC "Wigry" bringing me across the Lithuanian border to 🇱🇹 Mockava for the transfer towards Vilnius.
It's -20 °C outside and slowly the heating of the carriage struggles with the outside temperature ❄️.
After four more hours, my IC finally arrived in Mockava providing a transfer to the broad gauge train Vilnius for the dozen passengers onboard.
I'm joining the Pesa 630MiL unit up to my final destination of today : Kaišiadorys, a village in the outskirts of Vilnius saving me some travel time.
That was quite a stout beginning for my first travel section : Brussels - Vilnius, 30 h travel time staight without break.
Arriving in Kaisiadorys, #FOSSRail day two ends. 900 km further east and five countries crossed so far, I'm prepared to get up early tomorrow morning in order to catch the Baltic express connection bringing me across Latvia to the Estonian-Russian border.
#WhatsMissing : a night train Berlin/Praha/Krakow - Warszawa - Kaunas - Riga - Tallinn 🙄.
Good night !
