Yep we’re gonna give it a shot. It’s gonna be a marathon of marathon 72 shows. It would be nice to have the break in the middle sometime but it will be nice to have time to explore a little in London and Paris. We booked hotels for all of the single nights and airbnbs for London and Paris. We figured out the travel by train, it’s all doable the next morning from city to city versus overnighting it. The one exception was Munich to Milan which was a 9 hour overnight train that bypasses the mountains. The bus the next morning is around five hours and cuts thru them. Would have probably done something like sleep on the train for some stretches but there’s the problem of having our bags with us at the show and dealing with that stuff. Me and Jake are doing the run, my wife is gonna be with us from London to Berlin and heading home from there. She’s got a friend out there so she’ll have stuff to do while we’re at the shows and will attend her second DSO show at the Olympia, her only other one was Red Rocks 2018 😄

We’re taking the train. Some long rides between cities and I think a car would be a hassle to deal with. All the venues are pretty close to train stations. Most of the train rides between tour stops you can walk onto with the Eurail pass, but the international ones (England >France, France >Germany) you need to book a seat in advance. The train from Munich to Milan is overnight and leaves too early to be able to catch the Munich show, so we’re taking the bus the next morning. Looks like a nice ride thru the Alps ⛰ It’s around 550 bucks for the Eurail pass to do the whole tour in first class, seems like a good upgrade with bigger seats, more space etc over coach which looks cramped and still around 400 bucks.
