travel europe by train

And a great way to see a lot of countries in a few weeks. It’s a bit like a taster of a lot of countries, and later you might want to come back to a few of them for a longer holiday. I hope to do this inthe next few years.

I took the train from Oslo to Stockholm last weekend. It was a night train, so I got a sleeper car. It was hard to sleep, though. The train was pretty bumpy and noisy, and stopped a lot. For some reason the conductor had to blow the horn a lot. It was worth it though…Stockholm is incredible.

I missed my train back because I was waiting at the arrival track for Oslo instead of the departure, haha. That’s a good thing to check beforehand.

I got the Benelux-Germany pass. That was an awesome experience. Er, the trip, not getting the pass, I mean.
Some advice: reserve your seat beforehand! It will save you a lot of hassle on the busy trains. And always be sure to have your pass at the ready, as you will be asked for it every trip.

Next trip, I want to get an Austria-Germany pass. Ja, ich liebe Deutschland. Austria is beautiful too…I’ve been once, but didn’t get to see much.

be prepared to be flexible. and throw all your plans out the window. and take as much money as you can!

I’m probably going to Poland next summer, and I’d love to be travel various parts of Europe as well, but not having a job nor being an adult it’d probably be pretty much impossible. Someday, though…

It might happen this summer. I’ll be performing in Edinburgh, Scotland for a month and then will have 10 days off before I have to get back to rehearsing. If M comes out, we’ll have European adventures.

Traveled all over Europe with my son staying in youth hostels.

One of the best experiences of my life to date. I will do it again.

But I’ve done various journeys, from London to Paris and back, and from Bruges to Amsterdam, as well as around north Italy. A full on journey would be a dream, and I’d like to do that one day! But the experience of lengthy train journeys in Europe is always a pleasure, I’ve found—so long as the a/c is working on a hot day, at the least. (And it isn’t always…)

I travelled all over Europe and now that I see what it has to offer, I want to see more of the world. If you want details, check my blog – http://pad.freeflowjunction.org – there’s plenty of stories there…
