Reading Harry Potter along Europe trip

    Based on our heartwarming 2011 family trip to Europe, we were not hesitant to consider another visit to Europe for our summer holidays. We once again sought inspiration for our travel itinerary from our Kindle travel guide book – the “Lonely Planet Europe on a Shoestring”. We settled on a mashup itinerary from their Itineraries chapter. Although we had found our EuRail passes quite expensive for our 2011 Europe trip, we still went ahead with the purchase of a three-country EuRail passes (10 segments) to support our travel in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.
