the problem caroline, is when the ONLY company in the US that sells Eurail passes to travel agents will not accept the routes you want, but rather wants you to take three trains to your destination, thus shaving off time in the places you want to be.
There is a nonestop train from Vienna to Krakow, yet this stupid company would only get me Vienna to Katowice (hour layover in the dark) next train to Krakow.......even though I have both Austrian and Polish Rail sites up that said I could do what I wanted.
I love European train travel too, but I am tired of them pulling this crap. So....next time, flights.
It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...
