Thanks to both of you. We are now considering the train but have a few questions and I'm hoping you can shed some light as we've never done this before.
1. On April 1st well be visiting northeastern Hungary. If I could get my tour guide to drop us off in Kosice would it be any easier to get to Krakow from there?
2. If we do take the sleeper from Budapest how do washroom/shower facilities work? We'd end up in Krakow at 6:35 am and then hit the road with another tour guide to central Poland an hour later so I'd like to be able to freshen up before we leave the train.
