Inspired by some on here - just back from 6 weeks
We clocked up
4800 miles
51 Trains
4 Ferries
9 countries (Sweden and Norway were a first)
24 cities (22 new to me, 21 of them new to my partner - Copenhagen def worth a 2nd visit for us)
What a blast.
Quickly worked out it’s pointless reading on the trains - the scenery is breathtaking (especially the Bernina Express)
Big shout out to Italian Trains - Fast (clocked 300kph) and 1st class food and drink was good.
Armed police on trains too.
Although we went 1st class throughout - it’s prob not worth it in general.
German network makes ours seem efficient.
Got a bit emotional on 2nd last night in (Oslo) realising it was all coming to an end.
We had a long chat and realised - ‘these are the best of times’ anyway …. And we will just keep on enjoying ourselves.
Get back to UK and experience those stupid ticket barriers for the 1st time in 6 weeks
