B61: Europe by Rail (Part 2 of 5)

21/9/2021

Our European backpacking adventure in Sept 1991 -
Part 2 of 5: Brussels - Berlin - Prague

So this week’s blog continues with the second leg of my 1991 European Interrailing/ backpacking trip. If you haven’t read the first leg covering Dublin to Paris to Brussels you can catch it here. The second leg covers Brussels to Berlin to Prague. The late 1980s and early 1990s was a time of great change in Europe – the Berlin Wall had only come down less than two years before our trip, there was an end to communist rule in Central and Eastern Europe, an end to the Cold War, and the removal of the Iron Curtain between Eastern and Western Europe. The war in the Balkans was starting and the former Yugoslavia was breaking up.

Our European backpacking adventure in Sept 1991 -
Part 1 of 5: Dublin - Paris - Brussels

Thirty years ago this week (9 Sept 1991 to be exact), I set off on a European backpacking/ Inter-railing adventure with my friend, Trish, and her friend, Martina. The Interrail Pass is a train ticket that allows you to travel on almost all trains in Europe, with access to 40 railway and ferry companies in 33 countries. Nowadays of course you can download the rail pass onto your smart-phone….but back in the day we had a paper ticket that got stamped.
