I don't believe that. For me, whenever I go on holiday, no matter what transportation device I use (bike, car, train), the trip starts when I lock the door of my house. After that, I don't care about anything anymore. I want to go to my mother by train... It will take 24 hours...

Major roads passing the towns and villages, the minor (and more often much more fun roads) going through them... On our first week of our holiday, we crossed the country, avoiding highways whenever we could. We've seen some very beautiful landscapes that way...

As long as you don't think you can see Europe in a week...
(I've come across American tourists (organized groups), that went on trips like "Europe in 1 week!"...)
I think the best way to see Europe is to get an international trainticket. I've met a lot of Americans and Australians that way when we did that.

I've been to many places in Europe, but never to Australia
I'd love to cross that continent by train...
