Jules Brown

A laugh-out-loud train journey across Europe with a travel writer who should know better. Inspired by the budget InterRail trips of his youth, veteran travel writer Jules Brown thought he'd try and visit 9 cities in 9 countries in 9 days. Sadly, that wasn't his only mistake. It soon turned into a hot and steamy adventure (no, steady on, not that kind) by rail across Europe, taking in Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Bratislava, Ljubljana, Zagreb, Liechtenstein, Zürich and Milan. A tale of relaxing train rides to famous tourist destinations and guidebook sights? Not so much. All aboard for an offbeat travel adventure with a very funny writer seriously in danger of losing his cool.
