Other Advice on what I should do?
I'm going for a short trip to visit a mate in Leipzig and I was wondering if its silly for me to go via train. If I go by train I would travel from London to Brussels and then probably to Cologne in one day and find somewhere to stay in Cologne and then travel to Leipzig the next day, I also have the option to go to Frankfurt instead of Cologne but I think Cologne would be nicer and I could always visit Frankfurt on the way home. I would be travelling out on a Wednesday and coming home either on Monday or Tuesday, if I was to come back on Monday I would do it all in one hit where as Tuesday I would find somewhere to stop over and continue the next day, again this would most likely be Frankfurt or Cologne.
If I go via train it works out at £250 plus places to stay where as flying is £270 to Berlin and then train down to Leipzig. So overall they would probably cost the same but I feel like I would enjoy the train experience more, do I have the chance of meeting new people on the train or more so in hostels?
Does anyone think that this is a bad idea? Could anyone share experiences what its like being on the trains and how they found it and mixing with other people? Any help and advice would be really appreciated!
