    Wow so amazing. I am from Germany and have myself traveled on the Serbian train, first from Berlin to Budapest then to Belgrad and finally the legendary Belgrad to Bar Train to celebrate graduating from Highschool with my friends. It was a crazy cool experience and I still can’t believe that my friends where willing to do this trip. We also had to pay some extra to even get Tickets for the way back. And you always have to know someone who knows someone, so it helps to go in the 6 bed rooms and to get to know some Serbians and drink some beer with them and lean out the window. We had over 5h delay but is was nice how everyone was fine with it because for the Serbian people the vacation already Starts in the train. It’s special to see everyone so happy compared to people on planes and western trains. So overall a lifelong Memory and so worth it!
    Also love your videos and remembering all the good times and just keep doing what you are doing.

      😄 haha thats such a good sentiment, "The vacation already starts in the train"
      This one is certainly high on the list of trains we've taken but we didn't make as many friends as you thats for sure! Haha 😄 thanks for watching along with us!

    I love train travel. I sleep so much better with the movement but the broken sleep with border crossings would be tough.

    • @JordanandEmily
      @JordanandEmily  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Agreed! It’s like the train is rocking you to sleep - we were pretty tired but considering how long we were awake for in the middle of the night I thought we would be worse!

      Awesome video, planning to take this train, if I can manage to reserve a bed in early February while in Sofia, and then taking the Night-train to Bucharest a week later. Wish me luck, I hope reservations are easier in Winter.

    Thanks for this guys. If i may say so, the amount of ads in the video is just crazy. Far far too many ads and makes the whole viewing experience very unpleasant, in my view. Otherwise, thank for documenting your travel, it is very interesting.

    Thanks for the video. I´m planning to do the same route, hope everything goes well.
    Just one question 12:26 What did you say? 50 cents euro each? My mother tongue is not english and don´t understand that part very well. How much did it cost the train to the center?

    • @JordanandEmily
      @JordanandEmily  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I'm sure it will be a good journey! We actually said '50 lira each!' Which works out to be roughly €2.30
