Amazing! Looking forward to following your journey 😄 I did Southampton-Budapest by train 2 years ago: it sure is an adventure! Are you taking the MÁV Hungarian sleeper or another one? 😀

Ah, nice, that's the smart choice, probably. The Hungarian sleeper carriages are Soviet-era 😅 (Or at best early 90s). They go direct to Budapest, though, but ÖBB is probably much more comfortable.

Ah, no, not quite that far unfortunately. I broke my journey at Stuttgart and took the Hungarian sleeper to Budapest from there. If I did it again I'd probably take the route you're doing instead 😄

Good morning from Budapest ☀️🚆

Time for the next international train, this time heading to Prague. That makes capital city number five on this trip, after London, Brussels, Vienna, and Budapest. Not a bad way to travel across Europe.

Onwards by rail.

The windows on this train are filthy. I'm tempted to get out at a station and clean them.
