Re: Dilemma - please help (none / 1)

The train to Frankfurt/Cologne would be an overnighter so to get in some scenery I want to do a bit of daytime travel between the two. There are things I want to see in Frankfurt as well as Cologne but Cologne is easier for getting to Paris I think.

I seem to have figured out the itinery now. I'll arrive in Frankfurt early am, spend a few hours exploring after I dump my bag in a locker. Go to Cologne and stay overnight, spend a day exploring and go to Paris late aft, and get the overnight to Toulouse.

Arrive all worn out at afew's!

Sounds like quite a trip you are planing. When are you taking your train to Frankfurt?

So we might be travelling a part of the way together after all. :-) I also take the 20:36, and as far as I know it passes through Frankfurt.

lol! Probably not in the same part of the train but it will be good to travel to the station with you.
