I’m on my way from London to Paris with the Eurostar train. This is a neat high speed train that goes through the Chunnel (channel tunnel) from England to France. It’s really convenient in that it takes only a little over two hours to get from London to Paris and it drops you off in the middle of Paris or London, depending on the direction in which you are taking the train.  However, it is expensive.

Also, this video continues my journey through Europe.

Here are the links to the Eurostar train and the bus websites that are listed at the end of the video.

I will talk about how I took the ferry and train to get to London from Dublin and then I’ll cover the other two typical ways to make this journey.  As well, I will give you links to all of the websites needed to book your tickets and get more information.  Aren’t I nice 😀

Like most western European countries, Germany has a great rail transportation system.  Though expensive (unless you are a student), traveling by train is convenient, safe, and comfortable.  And best of all, THEY ARE ON TIME.  Hear that America?  It’s possible to run a train/transportation service that is on time!  Now, let’s explore some of the ups and downs of riding trains in Germany and I’ll show you how to save 50% on all train tickets within the country.
