After a week of serious planning...

We'll attempt something like this: we fly into Frankfurt, Germany then take a train to Mainz, to Oberwesel, then Cochem, a day trip through Trier on our way to Koln (Cologne), then Amsterdam, Der Haag (The Hague), Gent, Brugge, sweet Paris, where we'll catch a night train to San Sebastian. After that, off to Barcelona, Carcassone, Grenoble, Geneva (or close town), Milano, Firenze (Florence), then Verona. Will we have any money left after Italy's high prices? Either way, we'll go up to Innsbruck, over to Munchen (Munich), down to Ljubljana and up to Budapest. To follow that, a stop in Vienna, Cesky Krumlov, a little stay in Praha (Prague) with a final stop in Berlin before flying back to the real world. phew. I hope my shoes are up to it!
