Dordal , would you be so kind as to tell us how much you are going to pay for your Eurailpass? and also your age? I'll try to find out how much you would have to pay for tickets as posted in the opening post.
This thread could go on for ages with each time one poster being against and one for it... As I am in Europe, I can make a few phone calls to find out what will be most adantageous to you.
