Planes, Trains and Automobiles

You can't traveling throughout Europe without experience train travel. I quite enjoy it actually. The rumble of the tracks as you speed across the beautiful countryside. Of course I have romanticed Eastern European train travel a bit since I last did this 10 years ago. Or perhaps my standards have changed since then. We took an overnight train from Budapest to Prague in a compartment that is even smaller than our place in California (hard to believe). Fortunately we were blessed with great travel companions which makes being packed like sardines quite enjoyable! It also helped that they had fake Budweisers (seriously, a Czech brewed beer called Budweiser which is not the King of Beers).
