Eastern Europe trip by train

This article is more about the discoveries and the people met during the trip. Less about the trains.

Yeah, that's a train ride alright. In Bulgaria. Shaky.

Interrail in the Balkans

This time, I thought, let's try something new.

So after quite a lot of evaluating and contradicting, I finally gave in and bought an Interrail Global Pass for two weeks consecutive. This means, I could ride trains every day using all the Interrail member companies for two weeks. There are plenty of different types of passes: single country, multiple days in a definite time span, etc. The most common thing they have, is that they are not valid in your country of residence, except for going out and coming back in once (only for some passes). I chose a global pass because I wanted to cover multiple countries and wanted to cover the way out of and back into Switzerland.
