For the price of a eurail pass, you could fly from London to Amsterdam, to Rome, and then to Prague, and back to Amsterdam and still have money left over,

Those cheap jets like Ryan Air and Easyjet are too cool.

The lowest-priced adult eurail pass goes for $569. Booked right, and early, easyjet tickets will set you back less than $100, round trip. There're all kinds of cheap flights in europe.

On the train you won't see anything nice, don't worry. But you'll waste a lot of time.

Of course, if you want to see someplace a little different, go to Lithuania, maybe even Latvia. Don't worry, they speak McDonalds there, too.
