Sunday 27th May

Maybe I'll need to change a few things around towards the end of my trip. Due to Spain and Portugal being located in the corner of Europe, trains are, what seems to me, the biggest pain in the ass. Overnight trains with bad connections, horrible times, changes at 3am, waiting at the station for an hour for the next train. So maybe I'll look at getting a flight from Bordeaux (yeah I know, getting flights while I'm going to be getting a train ticket probably isn't the smartest of ideas...) to Porto then train to Lisbon to Madrid and work backwards until I reach family in Switzerland.

Now I wrote Zurich because it's the nearest city to where they are, but it looks like a township...like a smaller scale version of Sunbury (minus the knifings I hope because in my mind, the locals should use swords still).

Oh and I even found out that getting the train from Berlin via Hamburg to Copenhagen, the train itself goes onto a ferrie. How insane!
