Jul 16, 2020My Mrs misses her family so much because of this stupid lockdown. Now travel restrictions are slowly being lifted she has said she is going to take the kids to her parents in Poland for at least a month.
First things first, I'll be living like a bachelor for a whole month!
But, on a slightly more grown up note. I'm going to take a week off work, travel through Europe for 4nts by train to go to hers, then spend 4 nights there and then fly back.
I'm thinking:
London>Amsterdam. Direct route. About 4hrs on the Eurostar. Overnight in Amsterdam.
Amsterdam>Berlin. Direct or 1 change at Hanover. About 6hrs. Overnight in Berlin.
Berlin>The Mrs.
That's the most direct route. Seems too quick tbh. I could drop down south a bit but it's still going to be Germany. Or spend more time in Amsterdam.
Has anyone had any experience of this kind of thing?
@Michael Myers any suggestions on direct routes from Amsterdam? About 4hrs so I've got enough time to enjoy where I end up.
Either going by myself or with my brother.

Amsterdam itself is pretty big and great obviously. But what ur describing Utrecht is a nice city. Its kinda in the center -not too much south or north- and public transport is great, u can get anywhere. Lots of cool bars and the city is nice as well. If ur more into nature etc the south (Valkenburg/Maastricht) is very nice, you got mines etc there u can get a tour. And of course the coast , close to amsterdam (Scheveningen). There really is a lot depending on what ur lookin for.
Sure if ur close !Ordinary Joel, DetroitDGAF and icecube like this. -

That sounds like a lot of fun man! I’ve always wanted to go through Europe by train. Some of the countryside areas are absolutely beautiful.
You should take some pics and post them itt.DKC, Ordinary Joel and Michael Myers like this. -

Stay safe out there. Don't let them catch you with the wrong color mask in the wrong hood.
But seriously, Amsterdam & Berlin sound like good choices. Been at both.Ordinary Joel, DetroitDGAF and Michael Myers like this.
