Yes. 1st time I was on trains in Germany, I was walking through all the 1st class carriages until I realised that they were, in fact, the standard class ones! The short haul trains are ok too, certainly better than the UK ones.

Plenty of camp sites, reasonable prices and lots of space still left.

We're driving over on Thursday, got an hire car for 10 days, eurotunnel booked, hotels in Frankfurt and Nurnberg. £377 each for 4 of us. Not too bad I think. dread to think how much the locals will be charging the English for beer, going to be skint when I get back
