First Borderline – first problems

About 270km away from Istanbul on the borderline to Bulgaria the Orient-Express-Theatre-Train is standing right on the border train station, Kapikule. There seem to be some heavy activity and high level talks going on so that we assume that there might be something not going according to the plan. A few minutes later we know about it, the train`s departure has been delayed for unknown time. Having this uncertainty in mind everybody looks for something to do to make the time passing even faster. How much Türk Cay will be served, we do not know, but for some reason the locals “lay back”-way of life seems to also work for us quite well and totally relaxed we are waiting for some news.

If and if so with how much delay and with how much of the freight the train will start his trip in direction of Germany is impossible to tell right now, but tomorrow we will know much more …
