    Our train broke today, so now we’ve experienced everything.  We were supposed to take a train from Salzburg, Austria to Ulm, Germany and then transfer to a train to Memmengen.  But the train stopped at Munich and said it was having difficulties and would “terminate” at Munich.  Thank goodness for the Google Maps and Eurail Read more
