    Night trains are amazing. It’s basically a mobile hotel room that’s a little cramped, but spits you out in another country at 7:00am.

    You may be woken by someone yelling something in Romanian at 2:00am when the train stops. And you may be woken for passport control at 3:00am, so try not to be naked when that happens. (Lessons learned)

    Some snacks, a bottle of wine, and a good time. Night train!

    I wish the Scandinavian trains weren’t so sought after. Or rather I wish they’d have more capacity, it’s great that people want to use them!

    We have a saying in Spain that says that Europe starts in the Pyrenees.

      Si no, quitas la magia al turista de norte de europa. Portugal y España son tan exóticos que solo puedes volar hasta ahí /s

    Are the night trains in Ukraine inspired by that Elf on a shelf thing?

    From my student years I even know the names of the 2 night trains between Bratislava and Košice - Zemplín (top route) and Poľana (bottom route). Sigh, sometimes I miss those travels
