Hi Everyone,
I am in the final stages of planning a summer theme park trip around europe with 2 of my friends. The trip is going to be 3 weeks long and we have already booked the Interrail passes as they were on sale just before Christmas! I will post the plan below so people on here can give me any tips/improvements that could make. The plan is to spend about £2000 all in so any more saving tips would be ideal.
Thanks to everyone in advance!!
