Well I ended up staying at a hotel last night. TV, shower, the works. I basically ended up trapped in Metz, the night train I wanted to take was full, then the tourist office was closed, so no info on places to stay. I managed to find the youth hostel, but it had a school group. So after walking around Metz, which is lovely, for a couple hours, I just stumbled into the cheapest looking hotel I found and coughed up 59 euros. I need a better backup option, so these things aren’t that stressful. I’m heading south now, where hopefully it won’t be so cold and sleeping in train stations will be more appealing.
