Croatia - Berlin - Paris

The final piece of planning has fallen into place (confirmation of our Paris hotel booking) for my/our Croatia - Berlin - Paris trip this summer. After a week's walking holiday in Croatia (Exodus' Croatia: Islands & Mountains trip, with Hazel and Cat) I'm rendezvousing with Phil in Berlin, staying with his friends Michael and Katja, which we are topping off (up?) with a few days in Paris on the way back to London.

We're travelling by train all the way back from Berlin, using Deutsche Bahn's City Night Line sleeper train for Berlin-Paris, and then the Eurostar home. The Man in Seat 61 comes up trumps yet again.

How:

• Croatia: Exodus' Croatia: Islands & Mountains trip
• Split to Berlin: Germanwings (Split-Köln-Bonn)
• Berlin: DIY, staying with Michael and Katja
• Berlin - Paris: Deutsche Bahn's City Night Line sleeper train (the Man in Seat 61 comes up trumps yet again)
• Paris: DIY, staying at L'Hôtel des Grandes Ecoles
• Paris - London: Eurostar

I've struggled to plot this itinerary on Google's My Maps for a good few hours, with nothing to show for it.
