Mijinden(NLD)→Utrecht(NLD)→Frankfurt(DEU)

	Today is Monday, June 25th. I greeted the rain morning at a campground called mijinden in the Netherlands. Today I will go to Utrecht station in the rain and pack the bicycle and place it on the train and go back to Frankfurt. And I am planning to return to Japan tomorrow.

	It's rain. It is a genuine rainy morning. A lot is falling.
	In the case of rain, I thought that this place was the best place to set up the tent. so, I set up a tent near the sanitary. I am trying to fold a tent under the roof. I wipe slowly and then dry it as much as possible and I store it.
	I complete the arrangement of my luggage, I will start taking care of my feet.I wrap my feet in a garbage bag.
		0737
	I run in the rain.
		0802
	I ran along the Amsterdam Rhine Canal. The canal connects the River Waal which is a tributary of the Rhine via Utrecht from the port of Amsterdam. Overall length 72 km
		0802
	A big sightseeing vessel came.
		0807
	There are also restaurants and private rooms inside, and it is a luxury ship.

	On the other hand, this is a figure that does not evena Japanese who runs in the rain by bicycle. It approaches Utrecht station and I am away from the road along the canal.

	This picture shows that today is June 25th, it is the day I will ride the train with "rail & fly" today. If the date on my smartphone was wrong by any chance. Then, I might not be able to ride the railroad, may not be able to ride on an airplane, so I can not go back to Japan. I will review it again and again.
		0851
	I arrived at Utrecht station. I go straight and it is a museum of miffy, but I will not go today. After all, no matter which road in the Netherlands, there were not utility poles and power transmission lines. For example, a telephone pole in Kamakura, Japan.
		0926
	I am going to the front door, but the stairs are big.
		0929
	I used an elevator.
		0931
	I went to the platform. I heard "Where is the ticket office somewhere" at the information desk and I buy a ticket. I need a "rail & fly" ticket. I might be able to buy it from Utrecht to Frankfurt in bulk, but I do not have the language skills to explain it at the ticket office. So, first, I bought a ticket from Utrecht to Duisburg, descended once in Duisburg, then I issued a "rail & fly" ticket, then ride again to Frankfurt.

I had such printed matter in advance. When I say "I want a ticket" while presenting this printed matter at the ticket office, the person in charge will issue it right away, and will teach me carefully with the departure time and platform kindly It was.

	Next is the packing of the bicycle. How will it be easier? As one method, I first make it with simple packaging to get on the train, then I will remake it to aircraft packaging at a hotel in Frankfurt. However, there are plenty of time this time, and I will pack it for aircraft from the beginning.

	Everything is wet so I am hard to work. I wore plastic gloves, but eventually it turned black. In addition, I worked on the packing bag so that the floor would not become dirty, so it was hard to work. Very hard. Still, it managed to finish in one hour.
		1059
	I went to the ICE platform that I was taught by the staff.

The train was very crowded. I was standing by the bicycle near the entrance. Even if I go searching for seats and sitting luckily, I have to worry about my bicycle all the time and I have to go down soon in Duisburg, so I decided to go standing.

	I arrived at Duisburg and tried issuing a "rail & fly" ticket, but the operation screen seems to be different from my memory.
		1242
	I went to the information desk and asked to the lady at the window, "It is different from the screen in my memory". "That's right, recently the screen has changed", she said, "I will operate for you." She took me to the DB room, kindly handled the screen and issued a ticket.

	Yes, we start from this part in the lower left of the photo above. I understand that it is written. I was just looking at pictures and did not read the text. So I did not understand.

And, such a ticket was issued. A railway ticket to Frankfurt Airport Station, which can be used from any station in Germany, was issued.

		1400
	Take the next ICE and head for Frankfurt again. It was crowded again. Because I have a heavy bicycle, I decided not to find a vacant seat in the car,remain standing again.
		1430
	I enjoy the end of the trip while watching the country scenery in Germany. There were no stores like convenience stores in France, Germany, and the Netherlands. And there was no telegraph pole. However, only the railway is different, running under the transmission line. I see the electric wire.
		1600
	I arrived at Frankfurt Central Station. When I arrive at the hotel, have a lot of things to have to do. for example dry the tent, wash only the necessary items, dry it, throw away what I do not need etc.
	When I started to Basel on June 3, I booked the hotel and I entrusted luggage. but. When I got to the hotel, the staff members said "There is no your reservation" , "We have no luggage that was entrusted from you". At all, it is in trouble.but the baggage I deposited was not very important. "Here, this is my deposit evidence paper, I want to have find my baggage without fail. ",If I said the claim Perhaps I will not be able to go home as planned.It's no use doing it. I regard it as nothing from the beginning and go on to the next. It is more important whether I can catch the plane than to whether my argument is correct or not. Even if my luggage comes back, it is a bad thing to me that I could not board an airplane. I was preparing my heart with the feeling that "well, such a thing can happen", so I do not mind. Today's weather is rainy then cloudy Mileage is 20 km
