"So far I
have travelled just only through the western Europe; but what there's eastward?". So,
me and a sweet girl called Sara decided to buy an inter rail ticket and leaving from Milan
headed north-east. An inter rail ticket is a special ticket that lets you travel
throughout Europe by train for one month without any limit on the number of the travels;
for sure it's the best way to do a real (and cheap) travel in the old continent.
Frankly I had no idea about how far we could have got in one month, but I was very
attracted by the small unknown countries called the Baltic Republics, and I would have
done everything to get there.
Moved by the enthusiasm, we left from Milan with a
big rucksack and a pair of rollerblades on our shoulders. We got on and off a bunch of
trains before getting in our first leg: Budapest.
It took more than 20 hours including a long night on the train, right during the conflict
in the Kosovo region (ex-Yugoslavia), that, in Slovenia, led to find a dangerous travel
mate quite interested (unsuccessfully) in our money. After some days enjoying the capital rollerblading and having
so cool thermal baths we jumped on the train to head north.
