I'm back on the train to travel through three countries from Brno in the Czech Republic to Budapest, the capital of Hungary, through Slovakia.

I like the loco-hauled EuroCity trains, as you travel in quite some comfort and style. And there's also a restaurant car. Although, in my experience, the Czechs aren't great when it comes to vegetarian food.

Join me on my first ever ride into Hungary!
