Leg One, Perpignan, Odeillo, France (16 hours, sunday to monday)
update august 30thArrived! Interesting trip. Odeillo and the Pyrenees are obviously mountainous areas, its cold it lies 1500 above sealevel. The last leg of the trip was using a really old diesel, open top! Interrail sucks, most services have standard reservation requirement which means you always pay about 15 to 20 euro per leg more. The big competitor ticket is the eurail global pass.
