When we got to Cologne we had used our Rail passes for the last time. It was one of the smartest purchases we made. Being able to just jump on any train allowed us extreme flexibility in our trip. Not only would we hop on any train on the days we used the pass, but 1st class was very nice. It was helpful because we were for the most part one of the only people in the compartment. This allowed some breathing space from loud people and lots of space to stretch out. We also got to see so much more of the countries out of our windows. Rail travel was also great for someone like me who doesn’t love plane travel and airports. When we travel like this again we will definitely have to buy a rail pass again.
Sure enough, we leave on our next trip in 5 days and our rail passes are ready for us to travel all over western Europe again!
