August 4-28 with no significant planning; just plane tickets and train passes and all of Europe to find something to do in.

Expensive Day :(
Well, we escaped Lisbon out to Madrid. From Lisbon, Madrid was as far as we could plan. We were hoping to get to Salzburg, Austria to see the band Lemuria, but once in Madrid the tickets were too expensive for us so we headed down to Valencia, because there's a kick-ass aquarium, planitarium, sciencey place here. Once we got here though, we tried to organize our trip out of spain to the east only to find that the same problem applies to all trains for the next half-dozen days, no seats available, only beds. We decided to stay the night here in Valencia, and we are taking a sleeper train to Paris tomorrow in beds, which will be cool, but it was pricey. It's disappointing, yeah, but we might be able to catch this band for Christian in another stop on their tour in a couple days, its just a matter of getting to Germany. From here we can only book trains as far as Paris, so from Paris we will maybe go to Brussels or something, because the place the band is playing is small enough that its not on the map. We won't be able to find it until we get to Germany, probably. So that will be interesting.It might end up being kind of a mad dash from station to station, but we can handle that. For now we're just going to relax, hit up the oceanarium tomorow morning and then get back into train station mode.
