Writing from Oslo, Norway: Four countries and three trains and two days from Venice we’ve made it up to Oslo and will fly back to PDX tomorrow. It’s been harder than I expected to keep up with the blogging so I’ll be doing a lot over the coming weeks to organize the trip pictures and posts:

Thanks to Eurail Pass for helping to sponsor this adventure – it’s been amazing.

The family and I are well into our Europe Rail blogging adventure and things are going fairly smoothly with only a few hundred exceptions, most in magnificent Italy where the spectacular history is a bit eclipsed by the confusion of getting around and getting good information.

Thanks to Eurail Pass , we have nearly unlimited train travel available to us for the trip and I think we’ve made good use of that generosity, though I’m hoping the long haul back from Venice to Munich to Oslo is easier than our long haul south, when Julia was sick and we made the mistake of having one night train without beds.   Both nights up will be in the four bed “Couchettes”, which the kids enjoyed before.
