On: Seeing America by train

[jonp888]

So you travelled 11 hours to Berlin in order to spend 9 hours there, then 12 hours to Vienna in order spend 14 hours there, then 11 hours to Venice? You would have been exhausted whatever mode of transport used.

For some reason Americans have a strong tendency to come up with these kinds of itineraries in the name of having a relaxing vacation, even though to any European it appears completely bonkers.

Reread his post - I think ultimately he's saying "lesson learned".

Am an American and wouldn't dream of doing something like this.
