You're saying that to the person that has swallowed all traintravel books by Paul Theroux: Riding the Iron Rooster, The Old Patagonia Express, The great Railway Bazaar, The Pillars of Hercules......to name a few.
If you've ever read one of them, you would change your mind. Really. So exciting!
I used to go by train from Switzerland to the Netherlands when I worked there; never got tired of it.
But I can see that travelling by train can be a hardship; interesting boys on the train and thinking what to do........
But serious now: the trains in the Netherlands are a disaster now. Practically never on time. I guess the same goes for the ones in Belgium? And that is very annoying; I agree.
But these far-away train-travels. Yippeeeeee and hurraaaaaaaah and so on.
