Hi herrbert, Thanks for your great help, you really gave me lots of idea and options as to how about doing the trip, really appreciate your effort and suggestions. Another big problem I have is with regards to the eurail. Which eurail selectpass you think its the best for the itinerary that you have helped us come out with?
FYI, we will be taking the selectpass for 3 countries, 8 days in 2 months. We have choosen france, italy and spain. An additional select pass for 5 countries, 10 days in 2 months. Countries choosen are germany, austria, switzerland, denmark and sweden.
P.s thanks for your great help again, I posted a similar question in the transportation thread, but was only advice to check out railsaver, which i did. And it suggested getting a global pass as well as seperate passes for eastern europe countries. But we think it will be too ex to get a global pass. Please advice. thanks!!!

Anyone brought a HD cam to europe? I intend to bring a 30gb JVC cam for my 3 months trip, but cant think of a better way as to store the video, other than buying an external dvd burner or laptop. Is it very costly to get it burn to dvd in the internet cafe? Pls advice.
