Thanks for the nice comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the trip. Appreciate the support from a new friend🤗

Thanks for the comment😊 I wasn't sure of the station's name, but I think it might be Kolding in Denmark. It looks like a big station.

@@LetsgowithD Yeah, maybe Kolding. Thanks😊 Once, I made Hamburg/Copenhagen. With ferry Puttgarden/Rødby. It was fantastic.

Thanks for sharing! That ferry ride sounds great. I’ve heard a lot of fantastic stories about it.

The green and white Suica card belongs to my wife; she’s had it for a while. The red and white one can be purchased and used for 28 days, which is perfect for a holiday in Japan😊

Thank you, I am glad you liked the video. Enjoy the trip next year 😁

Thanks for your comment! They’re aiming to finish it in time for the World Cup in 2030, which would be fantastic. After that, they plan to extend it to Agadir, but that will take a bit longer.

@@LetsgowithD yes. Amazing video.

Thank you 😊 glad you enjoyed it

Thank you! We only did the outbound trip, and it was a nice but long experience. When we arrived in Marrakech, we flew back. Overall, it was a great journey, but flying back in just 3 hours felt really good 😄

Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed the video 😊

Haha, your comment made me laugh! I guess I was a bit unlucky with the meals. They didn’t look great, but surprisingly, they tasted better than they looked. What airlines would you recommend for direct flights? Thanks 😊

⁠@@LetsgowithDthat’s great to hear, I judge the food by its cover, and what airlines would I recommend depends you can go to Frankfurt to Tokyo or Helsinki ( with JAL, Lufthansa, Finnair )

My wife and I are planning to take the train to Düsseldorf or Frankfurt and then fly with ANA. I've heard great things about Finnair too; their ratings are impressive. That would be a good option too. Thanks for the recommendations!

@@LetsgowithDno problem, ANA is also a good one

My wife says the same😊

Thanks for sharing! I loved my time in Sicily too. I was also thinking of going from Palermo to Sardinia and then to Barcelona. Greetings from Yokohama, Japan 🇯🇵

@@LetsgowithD Enjoy your trip!! Barcelona is awesome!

Thank you 🙏 we will…

Which airline caters better in your opinion in that price range ?

I get what you mean! This was my first time in Premium Comfort, so I don’t have much to compare it to. I was a bit nervous and wanted a Dutch airline. Next time, my wife and I are planning to try ANA based on her recommendation

That’s a good question! I don’t have much experience in Premium Comfort since this was my first time, so I can’t really compare. Next time, my wife and I are planning to fly with ANA, so I’ll be curious to see how it compares!

@@Thijs-g4l think Air France!

@@tjittekamminga5170 well Air France serves the same meal as in economy so I don’t think they are a benchmark in any way.

Thanks! I appreciate it. This was my first time in Premium Comfort, and I really enjoyed it, especially on a long flight like this. It was also my first long-haul experience😊

Thanks for your comment! I actually had a warm meal for dinner, not for breakfast. But that does sound interesting😊

@@LetsgowithD indeed! For such a long flight I would have expected at least a warm breakfast, given that it’s premium economy. Nevertheless nice trip report ;)

Totally agree, a warm breakfast would have been nice! This was my first time in Premium Comfort, and overall, I still had a great trip. Thank you for watching😊

I’m currently in Japan, and everything here runs a lot smoother and faster. Just yesterday, my train was delayed by two hours.

Thank you for clarifying. I didn’t know that-learned something new today😊

Thank you for clarifying. Ukrainian was my guess too when I heard it. It was a lovely welcome upon arriving in Berlin. Glad you enjoyed the video 😊

The past is heavy, but today we focus on the present journey😊

I think Stresa is a beautiful city, perfect for exploring and enjoying a holiday by the lake😊

Thank you! I really appreciate your support. I am glad you enjoyed the video. More videos coming soon 😊

I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😊. I don't speak Italian, but feel free to write in Italian if you like. I'll translate it with Google

@@LetsgowithD im italian,bye from Rieti ( search on Google Maps ) Next time you can try Milano Centrare - Paris Gare de Lyon

Thank you for clarifying 😊

Thank you very much. I am glad you enjoyed the video😊

Hi, thank you! I really wish I’d had lunch in the dining car. On the second train, there wasn’t a dining café or restaurant, and I was getting pretty hungry. There was just a mobile restaurant with a few options, but not much to choose from😊

Thanks so much for watching! I’m glad you found it inspiring. Greetings from Tokyo😊

That's interesting to know about the local pilot rules-it makes sense for safety. Now I understand why the boat came so close and then left again. Thanks for the information😊

Thanks for clarifying! It’s really sad to hear about the drought and its impact on olive farmers. I hope they see better times soon. It was interesting to see the trees-I noticed some looked like baby plants, while others were a bit bigger.

Thanks for the update! It's exciting to hear about the new Stadler FLIRT sleeper trains coming in 2026. The possibility of a sleeper train to Copenhagen sounds great too-let's hope it goes through! I’m really looking forward to seeing more sleeper train routes in Europe.

Dankje, de app heet Snelheidsmeter. Je ziet een teller met een rode wijzer en een zwarte achtergrond. De app is gratis.

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer all my questions! I really appreciate it, and it’s impressive that you knew all that! To answer your question about why I took so many trains when there could have been a smoother, faster route-I completely agree with you. My wife and I tried to book 24 days before our trip, but everything was already sold out. We couldn’t make reservations, so we had to improvise. This made our journey longer, but we managed! Initially, we planned to go from Brussels on a high-speed train to Valence TGV Rhône-Alpes Sud, and from there, take another high-speed train to Barcelona. This way, we would have avoided Paris, the metro, and all the local trains, making the journey much easier. Then, the next day, we would take the two trains to Algeciras. Unfortunately, everything was sold out, so we had to get creative. In the end, it all worked out and we had an amazing trip and really enjoyed the ride!

@@LetsgowithD Wow, indeed ! Shame you had to spend so much money on the reservations. This Interrail system is a bit strange : you can go wherever you want with a free ticket, but you have to pay expensive reservations. I have a subscription for the whole French Railways, and I was never asked to pay to reserve my seat. Even the bed is free in the night trains !

@richardprovenzano894 Unfortunately, it is what it is. I think they're in the early stages of integrating a Euro rail ticket system. Right now, there are too many differences with reservation costs. I hope and believe this will change in the future. I know they're working on an app where you can buy all your tickets in one place instead of using separate websites. I think it will be ready by 2025/2026.

Sorry to hear that! Hope you feel better soon.

Thank you for the compliment! We're doing our best with grammar, and we really appreciate your feedback😊

Some countries have very cheap seat reservations, while others are more expensive. I hope we can have a unified policy across Europe for reservations soon. I really like the German system where you can travel for free without a reservation, but if you want a guaranteed seat, the reservation costs just 8 euros. That seems reasonable to me!

I’ve heard that train companies in different countries are reluctant to give up control of their own policies, but I hope this changes in the future. If it does, Interrail will become even better for travelers!

Thank you, I enjoyed the journey 😊

hanks for watching, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video! The bus ride to the ferry was something else-happy it made you laugh! And thanks for the heads-up about Nestlé; I'll definitely keep that in mind.

Thanks for your comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It's an amazing trip, and I'm sure you'll have a great time with your girlfriend. I took the longer route for more of an adventure, but there's definitely a shorter option if you're interested. If you have any questions or need any tips, feel free to ask😊

I agree with you on this. Sometimes it's smarter to buy individual tickets instead of using Interrail. But for longer trips, Interrail can be really useful. I wish more countries would adopt Germany's approach, where you can board for free but pay a small fee for a guaranteed seat. That would be the ideal scenario for Interrail.

@@LetsgowithDI feel like for traditional interrail he high speed rail isn’t a good fit in the first place, with a possible exception for a pre-planned start and finish of the adventure.

I agree with you-Interrail isn’t quite where we’d like it to be yet. But I’m hopeful that we’ll get there eventually. It would be great if more European countries followed Germany’s lead with high-speed trains, or if we could have one unified system across Europe. Let’s call it an Interrail Deluxe Pass. I believe by the end of 2025, there will be one app to handle all the reservations😊

I use Interrail in Europe, so most of the trip is covered. For high-speed trains, though, you sometimes have to pay a reservation fee to guarantee a seat. In Germany, you can travel for free without a reservation, but if you want to make sure you have a seat, there’s a small fee.

I get that flying is faster, but I’m more about enjoying the journey, the views, and the experiences along the way. If you take the quickest train route, it’s actually about 34 hours, but I went with a longer route to make the most of the trip! Thank you for sharing your thoughts 😊

Thanks for the clarification! At first, I thought they were the same, but I noticed the difference once I went inside. The first AVE high-speed train had comfortable leather seats, while the second one had fabric seats. I definitely prefer the leather ones. Thanks for the compliment and glad you enjoyed the video 😊

That would be great news! I think the World Cup in 2030, especially with Marrakesh being one of the host cities, will really speed up a lot of processes for trains.

Ow really, I was lucky then, I guess! Which celebrities did you spot?

Argentinians are obsessed with being recognized, haha

Everyone enjoys being recognized😊

Yes, it's quite interesting! The Eurostar e320 trains are now being used for more European routes beyond just London. It opens up a lot of new travel options😊

This happens since Eurostar merged with Thalys in 2023…

Thanks for the info and clarification

This has to do with the fact that, because of construction and renovation work at Amsterdam, there are no direct Eurostar services to London from Amsterdam until December. Passengers now have to lay over at Brussels Midi to get to London. As these E320 sets would otherwise be collecting dust at a depo, they opted to used them on ex-Thalys routes from Amsterdam to Paris. I don't believe they will return on these services when the Eurostar facilities in Amsterdam are completed and operational once again.

Thanks for the detailed explanation! I had thought the change was due to the Eurostar and Thalys merger, but it makes sense that it's also related to the construction work in Amsterdam. It'll be interesting to see what happens with the routes once the renovations are complete. Thanks for the info😊

I had a feeling it was something like that! I actually saw it once before when taking the ferry to Newcastle. Thanks for confirming and explaining it further. It's always great to learn more details about these things.

Thank you for your kind words! I”m glad you enjoyed the journey. All my train trips are with Interrail, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask. I’m excited to share more of our travels with you. Have a great trip!
