- Good 'ay mate's.
- That's not what they say here.
- Ahoy chips, and fish.
- 'Ello Governor.
- Ohhh, but the Governor doesn't live here it's the Queen!
We're at the Queens house.
Were here in London, Worth It, One Stop.
Were gonna do the ultimate Europe travel experience.
This is my massive bucket list item,
traveling through Europe by train.
- What type of trains are we taking here?
- We're gonna be doing the Euro Global Pass.
It's a 30 day pass, you can go to as many countries
in Europe, as you want.
We're gonna take this to hyper speed.
Seven days, seven countries.
- It's more like a seven stop not a one stop.
- Ahhh true. - We're in the UK,
we're going to Belgium-- - Belgium.
Then the Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic,
then Austria and then we're gonna finally end in Italia,
Italy. - Verona,
home of Romeo and Juliet.
- Let's go tour the city.
- All right, how much quid you got?
You got quid? I'm a footballer.
- What is quid?
(upbeat music)
- We have; Big Ben and little Ben.
- Medium Ben.
(upbeat music)
- I'm Clarissa Mattos,
I'm the Market Manager for North America, for Eurail Group
and it's a pleasure to have you here in Europe.
- Thank you so much!
- Thank you. What is Eurail?
Is Eurail a train company?
- It's a rail pass, we have like 35 railways
and shipping license, 28 countries.
So you have Europe in your hands.
- Europe in these babies.
- It's not about one trip, It's about the travel date.
You could take as much trains, as you wanted,
in one day, in 24 hours.
- Challenge accepted. - Bring it on Europe.
Let's do it.
- I don't want to fight Europe though.
- When you purchase a rail pass;
you receive a pass cover with a ticket and a travel diary.
You just put the date, day and month, before boarding.
- I just write it down and it becomes true?
- Yes. - Magic.
- Let's go to Brussels. - Let's go to Brussels.
We're going on a Euro trip,
I've been waiting my whole life for this,
we're gonna see so many things,
in such a short span of time our brains are not gonna know,
how to take it all in.
- You are gonna visit seven countries
and you are gonna travel in three kinds of trains.
- The first one is a high speed train?
- Yes it's the Eurostar, that connects London to Paris
and Brussels.
It's a very comfortable train, you have amenities,
you have meals and also very comfortable seats.
(mimicking telekinetic powers)
- Dude, this is so nice!
- Ohhh, these are the seats people in their lairs sit in.
- With like a cat, like a bald cat sitting on their should--
- Either a bald cat or some kinda bird.
- Isn't that pirates with a bird?
- Oh yeah.
(electronic chiming)
- We're moving.
- Bon voyage, mateys.
- So, the cool thing about this train is that it goes
under water, through the English Channel.
They call it the Chunnel too.
- They call it the Chunnel? - The Chunnel?
That's not a good word.
- I don't like the sound of Chunnel.
- Eh no.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Cheers, to Europe.
This is the First Class meal, cheers.
You know what, we learned a plane fact once;
when you're flying you actually taste things differently,
than when you're on land.
Now, we get the real experience,
of food, at it's proper elevation point.
- I mean, all restaurants are at this elevation too.
- Yeah but we're traveling at 200 miles an hour right now.
You can't eat a meal like this when you're driving,
or doing a road trip. - No you can't.
Train fact!
- Choo Choo.
In India, some trains use solar energy to power the lighting
and other systems that are on board.
- I like that, why don't we do that in the US?
- If we're gonna talk about,
trains that run on renewable energy; all the Dutch trains
run on wind energy. - What?
- Running a windmill for one hour allows the train
to travel 120 miles.
(squeaking)
Double train fact!
- [Conductor] This is now the Eurotunnel.
- Oh we're in the tunnel.
- We're in the tunnel, tunnel time.
(both singing) Tunnel time. - Tunnel time.
- Seamless transition into; Ben's bathroom breakdown.
(whooshing) (apple crunching)
- Let's go.
(splashing)
Mirrors on mirrors on mirrors you can really
check out your outfit.
Your standard toilet situation, gotta check the flush sound.
(toilet flushing)
It's not scary.
We got a hand dryer in here,
I'm giving this two big thumbs up.
One, two, great job Eurostar, you're a star!
- There's something just so romantic about
the French countryside, you know.
- Kinda listen to an hour right now. (laughing)
We have about an hour left on the trip,
I'm gonna just relax, take a nap, enjoy the countryside.
We'll see you in Brussels.
(upbeat music)
- Now that's refreshing.
- Ahhh no!
- Do I look tough?
(upbeat music)
(soft classical music)
(electronic chiming) (upbeat classical music)
- [Steven] Why are trains the best form of transportation?
- Trains are comfortable and your fun begins
while you are traveling.
You have the landscape passing by
and you can connect with the culture,
connect with your fellow travelers.
You can go to a bistro car, taste a German beer
and when you arrive you don't have to take any taxi,
or any other mode of transportation.
You are ready to explore the city.
So, the train that you are gonna experience more,
in this trip, is the ICE Inter-City Express.
Comfortable seats, a lot of space for yourself, WiFi.
- All right, our train is here.
- Oh yeah.
(train door beeping)
Oh shoot.
- Too many souvenirs.
- We're on the train, let's talk about this.
- Comfortable leather seats.
- We are not sharing an arm rest.
- Which is huge, for travel.
- They got USB ports.
- Whoa.
- Which is pretty crucial,
since none of my things fit in the outlets here.
- Train fact.
- For a train to hit the Euro City criteria,
which is what we're on now.
It must; travel through two or more countries,
conductors must speak at least two languages.
- There go my hopes,
of becoming a train conductor in Europe.
- You don't speak two languages?
(speaking Spanish)
Is this sufficient to be like a train fact?
- Train fact is anything about a train.
Train fact; we're on a train.
- Okay.
- You wanna hear a train joke? - Let's hear it.
- It's not one of your Ben masterpieces
and I just came up with it on the spot.
What do you call an Autotune artist in a storm?
- I don't know, what?
- T Rain.
(chuckling quietly)
Can you believe I just came up with that one?
- Yes.
It's very comfortable and they all have this,
trash bin right here,
just gonna fill that with all your jokes.
- We got a (imitating Texan accent) "Nase Menu".
To the Prague life. - Cheers.
I could hear them frying this up in the back,
this wasn't like they just popped it in the microwave.
They're actually cooking this food here.
- They have the tools on a train.
It's like a food truck.
- Yeah.
These views, look at that.
What is that building? - Oh my God that is,
wow.
- This is the way to travel.
In a plane you don't get to see the views like this
and you don't get to eat like this.
And I get car sick if I'm like reading,
or focusing on anything close to me.
- Nothing is sick about this train, other than the views.
- Ha (laughing sarcastically).
- Yeah.
All right, let's go to Prague.
- (clapping) Let's go.
(upbeat classical music)
(electronic chiming)
(upbeat classical music)
- Oh my God!
Oh, sh--
(upbeat classical music)
- Yo, yo, yo we got some--
(Ben speaking German)
- Oh wow that's kinda legit.
- [Spectator] That was perfect.
- I'm part German.
(upbeat classical music)
- Our final train.
And this is the one I am the most excited for.
Vienna to Verona.
- To Verona. - Yes.
- This is a Rail Jet that is an over night train,
I believe you're sharing a cabin.
- Sleep over.
- Woo.
- Our final train is going to be the OBB Nightjet,
it is as sleeper train, it does not come,
totally included with the Global Pass that we got.
We had to pay an additional 44 Euros to reserve,
this sleeper train.
- Okay. - All right,
let's get on this train.
It's a Nightjet.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
- Yeah baby, yeah.
- Okay. - We got nice,
deluxe suite, just so you know,
if you're booking this in the future,
your Euro-pass gives you a discount,
on any seat on this train.
We only get the best here man so.
- That's why I ride with you.
- Whoa they got, what?
They left juice for us.
Oh they know me. - They do.
- Beautiful.
(laughing) - What the (beep).
I thought it was juice.
(both laughing)
it's apple sauce.
- Champagne, from Italia.
- This is the farthest thing from Champagne.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
(laughing)
- I'm so ready for Verona.
- I need some good pasta in my life.
- Look at these views.
- Wow, dude I just wanna move,
to one of these ginger bread houses
and have a goat and just live off the land.
- Oh yeah.
- Beautiful, rumor has it that there's a shower in here.
- There's no rumor, the rumors are true.
- Let's go.
(splashing)
This is a first on Ben's Bathroom Breakdown;
we have a shower on a train,
there's actually plenty of room in here,
to get a good shower, well done Nightjet!
One more important thing, we have to test the flush sound.
Is it terrifying?
Woo, mild, okay we still got action.
I'm gonna take a shower now,
you'll see how I do after.
Shower was awesome, great water pressure,
I'm giving this, one, two, a knee, would give a second knee
but that flush was just traumatizing.
- Oh, we're in a tunnel, (singing) tunnel time.
(beatboxing) ♪ We're in a tunnel ♪
♪ I am a funnel ♪
♪ I like to eat ♪
Okay no more tunnel.
Look at this view Ben.
- It's so crazy.
- This is stunning.
Wow, I will say, there's one drawback,
but it can also be seen as a plus,
there's no WiFi on board.
- You need time to disconnect, we're too connected.
This train feels just like a throwback to a different era.
I'm just imagining Mozart sitting here,
composing on this window.
- Seriously.
(beatboxing)
♪ I love tunnels ♪
Okay, it's over.
(laughing)
- Let's pull the mattress down, see what it looks like,
go to bed and then we'll wake up in the morning
and talk about how it was.
(beatboxing)
♪ Tunnel, is a time ♪
Oh dang it, I can't get past the first verse.
They do put this down for you if you want,
but we wanna kinda see how it works so,
we're gonna just pull it ourselves.
Oh, nicely done Ben.
Wow, I'm gonna get in this bed.
Looking out at the view from here.
- Oh yeah. - Oh dude,
this is sick.
- This is the life man.
- Dude we have our own bathroom to go to,
you don't have to walk by all the other people
and honestly, the train movement is making me really tired.
This bed is more than enough space for me, I'm six feet tall
and from, head to toe I'm completely covered.
Oh, nice it's actually not right above.
- Oh yeah, - Wow,
I did not see that coming.
- Dude this is straight outta the movies man.
I've always wanted to be on a train like this,
I haven't had a sleep over in years.
- Get over here Ben.
- I feel like I'm a kid again having a sleepover.
- Yeah, this reminds me of me and my brother,
we would play games at night,
we would just tell stories.
- My brother and I would throw socks at each other.
- Nope, that is not happening tonight.
How's the comfort level for you?
- It's really comfortable.
I can sleep on my stomach and actually get some sleep.
- You know what's crazy about this?
We're knocking out both transportation and hotel with one go
and it's cheaper than just getting a hotel by itself.
- It's a hotel on tracks.
How come you get the good view though?
Oh dude your gonna (beep) kill me.
Do not do that. (laughing)
Bed time.
- Bed time!
(electronic whooshing)
(soft upbeat music)
Ben, - Yes.
We did it!
Seven countries, in seven days.
- We could have faked this for the video
and like spaced it out over like three weeks,
we actually did a different country every day.
What an experience man.
- That OBB Nightjet, pretty cool.
- I didn't expect the train tracks,
to be as soothing as they were,
they kinda like rocked me to sleep.
- And the shower was really remarkable.
- Top notch shower.
- To Italy! - To Europe!
- To Europe.
(electronic whooshing)
