To make a long (more than a day) train trip convenient and comfortable, you need to prepare for it. On the road, travelers will come in handy with many things - from hygiene products to entertainment.
Choice of food
Most passengers avoid eating at the train's restaurant and prefer food from home.
Often, thinking over food for the trip, tourists prefer instant packages - noodles, soups, dry potatoes. This is the easiest option if boiled titanium water is safe. Another option is to boil the vermicelli or potatoes in advance and put them in a food container. You don't need to take soups - you won't be able to warm them up.
It is important to remember about water - take a bottle per day for one. No need to take lemonade, nectar or juice. Due to the high amount of sugar, these drinks will increase your thirst. The best solution would be to take plain non-carbonated water. Tea bags are also useful.
Since there is no refrigerator on the train, there is no need to take perishable food.
Foods to forget about on the way:
- any dairy products - yogurt, milk, cottage cheese;
- boiled, smoked fish, herring;
- salads dressed with sour cream, mayonnaise;
- pates of meat and fish;
- cakes with cream, cottage cheese in the filling;
- all types of sausages, except for uncooked smoked.
In the case of perishable foods (such as the popular fried chicken), you should eat them as soon as possible. At the slightest suspicion that the products are unsuitable, they should be thrown away. Also, on the train, you should refrain from dishes with a strong smell.
Now about the food that is recommended to take. This, for example, any fruit - bananas, kiwi, tangerines. Better to wash at home and wrap in a separate bag.
Also a good snack would be:
- bread;
- hard boiled eggs;
- dried fruits;
- bakery products.
clothing
In luggage for a train trip, you need to put comfortable clothes that will be worn on the train. Tracksuits, indoor T-shirts and breeches will do. The seats in many carriages are not very clean, so it's best to do your laundry right away when you get home.
It will not be superfluous to put the following shoes in your suitcase:
- slippers;
- slates or slippers;
- lightweight sneakers;
- comfortable shoes without heels;
- sandals.
It is convenient to wear such shoes both inside the train and walking around the railway station.
Hygiene supplies
Since the water in the carriages is often of poor quality, it is good to have a supply of water to wash your face and brush your teeth.
Required list:
- cotton pads;
- soap;
- paper handkerchiefs;
- deodorant;
- hairbrush;
- towel, in case the conductor gives out stale.
Of course, the ladies' list will be longer due to decorative cosmetics, makeup removers, a mirror, dry shampoo.
The documents
Despite the fact that the presence of documents on the trip seems obvious, this point should be especially highlighted. The best solution is to keep your passport, bank card, cash in a small bag next to you or on your belt to prevent a potential fraudster from stealing it.
Useful little things
It is wise to take your utensils with you - a glass, a plate and cutlery.
It's a good idea to grab some earplugs - a restful sleep will be ensured, even if noisy fellow travelers come across.
For a long time on the road to fly by unnoticed, you can take an electronic or paper book, tablet or player. Many functions of these devices can be replaced by a modern mobile phone. A charger is required for gadgets. And, of course, all kinds of crosswords, sudoku, scanwords do not lose their popularity among railway travelers.
These tips will help you make your trip easy and enjoyable.
