Question: My husband and I (both Australian seniors 68 and 72 yrs) will be arriving in Frankfurt by Qantas and need to take the train to the main rail centre of Frankfurt where the Eurostar and main ICE trains leave as we will find a hotel there for travel in the next days. We are getting Euros in Australia so we have money to use in Frankfurt - would you please advise the one-way cost of rail travel from International Airport Frankfurt to the Rail Centre area Frankfurt. Thank you very much for your help.

Question: Hi! I’m flying to Manchester England June 3 and want to go from the airport to the Lake District, Keswick. I’m having difficulty finding local buses and local train lines. I think a train from the airport and then a bus would work. The one website that seemed helpful has no information past May. Do you have any website suggestions? I’d be able to get the train after 12:30 PM. Thank you!

Destination of the month: Trans-Siberian Railway. There’s not a better time than September to embark upon this epic rail journey. This is the magic hour after the heat of summer but before the chilling cold of the Russian winter.
The Trans-Siberian journey can be taken many ways, I personally would recommend taking the trans-Mongolian route from Moscow to Beijing. You’ll get to see most of the highlights of the Russian trip including Lake Baikal and Irkutsk, but you’ll also get to enjoy the isolation of Mongolia and finish your journey in the orient. The trip takes about one week and transverses over 7,000 km.

Destination of the month: Ohrid, Macedonia. While admittedly off the beaten path, Ohrid is a beautiful lakeside town in the Republic of Macedonia. Not known to too many tourists, here you can still find old world charm at bargain bin prices. If you’re a person who enjoys going to places not many others have, this could be your destination.

Destination of the Month: With the Olympics starting this month Beijing is the obvious choice but I personally try to avoid cities during the Olympics. Also Beijing in the summer isn’t exactly pleasant. So I’ve decided to go another way & choose St Petersburg, Russia as the destination of the month. I know what you’re thinking, Russia, seriously? But the truth is St Petersburg is one of the most beautiful cities in the world & with it being so far north there’s no time better than to go than August. Getting there shouldn’t be too hard as you can fly there directly from most major cities in Europe. You can also arrive via train if you happen to be in the Baltic States or Finland. There are even ferry services if you happen to be on the Baltic Sea.
