Up about 7:00am. Stopped at supermarkt for breakfast on way to station and to buy supplies for our long train trip to Krakow. Train departs at 09:40 from Berlin Hbf. Border crossing to Poland approx 11:45am. Border police very through and walked off with our passports for 5 worrying minutes, not sure if they were going to jump off train and run off with them. The problem was that they did not know of Lewisham, but they were happy when explained that Lewisham is in London. Landscape for first half of journey is forest, farmland and small settlements. More opportunities to see live venison in the wild.
