Hi,
I'm a bit a novice at this (I've never done interrail before) and I'm not sure what reservations I have to make.
I'm looking to go from Hamburg to Bruges on the December 27th (27.12.09). I've purchased a a 5 in 10 InterRail pass covering this date, but a friend of mine has told me that for France I have to make reservations.
Here's the itinerary I'm hoping to follow:
[b]Hamburg Hbf -> Köln Hbf[/b] : 27.12.09, 00:31 -> 06:14 (CNL40483 City Night Line)
[b]Köln Hbf -> Paris Nord[/b] : 27.12.09, 07:44 -> 10:59 (THA 9416 Thalys)
[b]Paris Nord -> Brugge[/b] : 27.12.09, 11:25 -> 13:54 (THA 9327 Thalys)
I tried to book this through [ux]https://rail.shop/bahn[/ux] , but it told me it could only book the night-train, so [b]I've now made a reservation on the CNL40483[/b].
I was wondering if anyone could tell me what's the best way to make the reservations for the [b]Köln Hbf -> Brugge[/b] part of the journey? Is there a website which I can cheaply make the reservations using my InterRail pass?
Thank you :)

You dont have to go via France resp. Paris to get from Köln to Bruges (the one in Belgium I think).
You dont even need another reservation when using the following connection ([b]Note:[/b] :arr: The new schedules from 13.12 onwards are not completely available online yet, so the following times are from the current timetable. However, a similar connection almost definitely will be available after the timetable change as well).
Köln 0715 - 0807 Aachen
Aachen 0834 - 0927 Liège
Liège 1000 - 1202 Bruges
