Euro-travelin’ – Strasbourg
Posted by: | CommentsTo some people, buying a train ticket to a place you’ve never been in a place you’ve never been, with no idea where you’ll be staying that night or even if you’ll take that train all the way to your destination would seem like an exercise in stupidity.
