But the idea of nonstop travel proved too attractive, for there was always just one more country
13、 over the border, always that little bit further to go. And what did the extra miles cost us? Nothing.We were not completely uninterested in culture. But this was a first holiday without parents, as it was for most other InterRailers, and in organizing our own timetable we left out everything except
