Trains Europe

[ian cruz]

Hey, I’ve just come up with this master-plan to keep me and my friends entertained over the summer. Neither of us have loads of cash to spare, but we are dying to see a bit of Europe (beach holidays don’t really count). So my thought was to make use of the trains Europe (http://www.railpass.com/) has to offer. I’ve been reading a lot in the news lately, that there are loads of high-speed railway lines connecting all these countries and making it heaven for backpackers to get around. All my friends agree, so we’ve decided on doing it either way. However, none of us know, if there might be an extra-cheap deal out there or some sort of ticket that will allow us to do the whole “hop on, hop off” thing, so we can be more independent and won’t have to stick to strict times. Any tips?

I'm pretty certain there's what they call a Euro Rail pass available, but it might be for students only. Sorry, don't know where to get it.

Tip: Don't be 30 seconds late for a train over there or you'll be watching the end of it disappear down the tracks. They all run pretty much on time. You will certainly enjoy it.

I had a buddy spend 3 months backpacking around Europe. The Eurorail pass was the best money hey spent.
