OK... I've got, like, eight confirmed cities with cumulatively 33 hours spent on trains. Getting rid of Munich, I've got three cities in Germany, and I'll get the couchette on the way OUT of Prague, to Frankfurt, which is where I fly out. If I buy a Selectpass, I will be foregoing about $300 of individual train tickets, looks like. Pity to spend $310-$350 on that, so I might just pass on that.

I might make Luxembourg just a day trip, but that would be a shame because it's one of the very few places where I'll actually know somebody. I do want to make some day trips, but I'm thinking that could be done in France instead.

Oh, to have thought of all this crap in advance. But now that the flood gates are open, at least I'm getting started.

what??

You can't skip Munich! I mean, beerhalls, and nude gardens, and LOTS of art museums, and did I mention beer and nudity? Plus it's practically on the way to Prague and/or Vienna.

What are your 3 German cities? I assume Berlin and Hamburg are two, but please don't say Frankfurt is three. Beyond the airport and train station there really is nothing there...

Well, Frankfurt's where my flight leaves, and I'm not getting off an X-hour train ride just to hop on a plane and sit for a twelve-hour westbound mid-day flight to Dallas/Fort Worth. So hopefully there's a day's worth of stuff there, if nothing else a place to just crash out for a little while and prepare to go home.

I guess that's why that's where the cheapest flights come out of.

Nothing to do?

Sure, Frankfurt is the least interesting city I've seen in Germany, but you could spend a day just eating there and not be unhappy. Especially when you're winding down from a trip. The city is open and easy to navigate, you can take a train right to the airport, and except maybe Amsterdam it's the most civilized airport I've ever used.

Food GOOD.

I'll probably take two days just to hang out at the hostel and drink beer.

Maybe I will find some women there who are equally bored and we'll find ways to occupy ourselves.
