Easy train holidays, part 1

I´m thrilled about the renaissance of train holidays in Europe and elsewhere in the world (sadly not yet in South Africa where I live). I used to be an adventurous inter-railer in the 1980´s and early 90´s. I mostly travelled in Eastern Europe, on the other side of the iron curtain, with very little comfort.  In this past year, I did two shorter train holidays with my children Nils and Tindra. I was inspired by Facebook groups for train enthusiasts doing the most amazing journeys. But I wanted to re-start easy; Travel for maximum five or six hours at a go, sleep in a proper bed and be able to book seats etc. I, too, wrote about my experiences on Facebook and got a surprisingly big response from mainly parents and elderly people who are longing to travel by train, but, like me, are looking for a lighter version of inter-railing. I thought I would share our journeys here as well, hoping that it could assist and inspire more people to take the train to a few wonderful destinations.  Trip
