We are flying from the local airport to save the cost of getting to a London airport plus associated costs (yes, bar and restaurant). We wont be sleeping in luggage racks this time around. Apparently there are things called hotels that grown up use instead of sleeping on the train. We are still the queens of the on train picnic. Extremely socially acceptable in the Mediterranean countries as all of the lovely mamas send their families off to the big city laden with edibles from home. Eve is searching out flights for us today. I am very excited
Sound lovely and so much fun!
ReplyDeleteYes! And all on a budget xx
DeleteSaving your itinerary for future reference -- Would love to do similar!
ReplyDeleteHave a look at this website MW. So many possibilities! https://www.interrail.eu/en/interrail-passes/one-country-pass/spain-passes
DeleteAwesome -- Thanks Lizzie! And so sorry to hear about Fahed's bike theft.
DeleteSounds much better than sleeping in luggage racks. I slept on trains in college. So uncomfortable and the next day was horrible, stumbling around the destination city in a fog. Being an adult with enough money to pay for comfortable accommodations sounds so much better.
