Well, predominantly by train anyway. It was an Inter-Rail trip. Of course sometimes it turned out that trains were not necessarily the way to go ... !!
Some of this travel diary was written by Ian, and some by Laure. It thus might not necessarily flow quite as well as one would hope!
Day 16, the journey back to Birmingham, was not documented because we didn't really see the point. As far as we were concerned, the Inter-Rail trip ended once we'd hit Laure's home, despite the fact that she was not living there at the time! We didn't consider the route back to Birmingham to be a specific part of our holiday. Odd, but true!
Note that we played quite a lot of scrabble on this trip. We'd taken a game of travel scrabble with us; somewhere en route (we *think* it was on the way to Leon) we lost one of the letter 'N's but once we knew that we played on without it. We actually played it for forefits -> the loser got tickled that night by the winner for a number of minutes equivalent to the number of points they'd lost by!!!
