If I was in Europe, I don't think I'd ever fly.
Trains are a lot more fun, and in Europe you can actually get somewhere on
'em.
Let's see... Oslo -> London by train...
Route will go through:
Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, France, and UK.
No central itinerary planner, will have to do it by studying the
national railways of at least 5 countries/languages.
Longest stretch I can book from Oslo is to Gothenburg, Sweden. It
costs about as much as a low-fare airline ticket to London, takes 3
hours 50 minutes, and I haven't even traveled _one quarter_ of the way
yet.
And, without looking at a map, I'll guess that the distance is somewhere
between that of San Francisco to LA, or maybe as far as Seattle.
London to Oslo is about 1100 miles as the crow (or cormorant) flies. A
lot of water in between: Makes putting down train tracks difficult :)
Time to start digging a tunnel...
Or about LA to Seattle.
I was referring to the Oslo to Gothenburg leg of the trip.
