Yes, it's only a pleasant trip if the journey is part of the pleasure for you and if you give yourself a stress-free time between connections. Or if there is a volcanic ash cloud keeping your plane on the ground. When I was planning my rail trip to Fez I built in some overnight stops in major cities to enjoy their museums, rather than rushing .
I don't understand why so many people who were recently stranded by the ash cloud spent money on long-distance taxis when a little thought could have put them on trains, but the reactions of many people on their return to thebosom of their native land was interesting (and bad news for some of us). They were thrilled to have seen so much of the countryside and villages of places like France and Spain which they normally fly over on their way to Costa Del Chipshop that they are thinking of holidaying there in the future. So every volcanic cloud has some sort of lining. Bob > > Wow, that's impressing.
