See Europe by Rail

I know Europe might not be the most favoured place to visit this summer ( due to the exchange rate ) but it will be so lovely to go on a holiday to Europe. My must do trip to Europe one day will be by exploring the continent by train. Imagine travelling through rolling meadows, lush green mountains with snow laden ice cap and beautiful, historic architecture.
