Did anyone get tickets for the Tube steam run? If so, can we get photos and an account?

Do they offer any of those "private" three-stacked bunk beds with the aisle in the middle? Those aren't half bad unless there is a drunken football team lurching down the aisle and crashing though the curtains (personal experience).

I compare a night in a couchette to a bad night with a bottle of bad booze...both lead to a morning of swearing "I'll never do that again." But then that bottle starts looking pretty good a couple of days later. Just as does the couchette. A little reminder: You will be crammed into a dinky...

Scooter, the gourmet wonder dog, is disappointed the provisioning stop in Milan has been scratched. This means none of those hyper-yummy sweet sausages washed down with crackling cold bottles of Piedmonte whites. Bourdain stopped in Rome in his new show "The Layover" and had comments and scenes...

What, no Puce or Mauve? I thought Roma was out...which would mean no Vaticano either. Yes?

Do we have a (semi) final design? If so, can we see it? Colours, costs in various currencies, sizes, etc.

My comment regarding rinsing the whities was misinterpreted. My point was that if the bog tap water is darker than my unmentionables, I will use bottled water to rinse out my delicates. I have mixed feelings regarding piebald toilet paper and brown rain wafting down on the villages of our...

Humph!!! And you guys had the brass to accuse me of being indelicate regarding my "ring stinger", "tidy whities" hygene and "Passengers will please refrain..." comments!

If you shave hours off Budapest for any more time in Bratislava, you will be performing a communal circular butt kicking once you get to Budapest...seriously!

Bratislava...eh! Get off the train, grab a European Budweiser, and get back on. So, what is the new game plan in Budapest? You arrive at what time in the morning? You are still leaving on the 19:05 out of Keleti for Romania? What is it you propose to do with the time while in B-pest? Are you...

Please note they are seperate items and are very different. The park is where you want to go (look it up) an will afford the chance to ride the electric light rail to add miles. The cousins and neice and nephews aren't just shoppers. You will get a male who speaks perfect English for you to...

Now that I have developed dispepsia from your discourse on "food", I can only say that many of you will be anxiously awaiting your arrival in Budapest for the antidote! There are indeed the dreaded silent trolley buses, as well as trams, regular buses, Metro, light rail, funicular, cog and...

Not the infamous Scottish note again!!! It is a pity you boys are rolling into Keleti rather than Nuygati station in Budapest. The latter was designed by that French guy that built the radio tower in Paris in the 1880's. Also home of the second most ornate McDonald's in the world.

is indeed a country, the smallest in the world at about one square mile and around 886 residents. Of course it doesn't have a tram, but I believe you can ride one almost right up to it. You can also send post cards from there with Vatican stamps.

I don't know where I got this link, it might even have been here. But in case you haven't seen it, it looks to be helpful especially for the Balkans. http://europetrainsguide.com/Countries/Hungary/Hungary-MAV.html

Don't buy ANYTHING in or near the train station! Grab your bags, take the vaporetta to the Plaza, walk across in front of the church and go over the little bridge. Walk down about a block or so and turn right on the left hand side of the street. Go to the end of the street. You realize when I...

There might be an answer to the Venice rucksack problem. There are a number of Pensions that have stored luggage rooms. I know of one that is only two (small) blocks from St. Mark's. I am willing to bet if a few Euro were to grease the palm of the front desk clerk you could stash all your...

I'm a little confused. They have security checks for knives on the Chunnel? You can't take a Swiss Army Knife on because somehow you can crash down the locked steel door and demand the engineer take the train to Cuba? Hate to say it but that YouTube "loop the loop" is small potatoes to some of...

As I recall, there is a cookware shop in Centraal somewhere along the shopping arcade close to the large Burger King. My question is this: What constitutes "unpleasent odors"? Isn't the train going to be full of Froggies returning home?
