European Train Ride Week

[philstar22.livejournal.com]

Lets see if I can get it right this time.

Sorry this is so late. Ended up in the hospital this afternoon. This will be a low key week because I don't have it in me for a lot of activities at the moment.



Welcome to The Ebbsfleet International Railway Station located to the east of London. From here, you will be catching the Eurostar train to Paris. Make sure you have your Eurail train pass handy. This is the pass that will allow you to travel throughout europe. If you lose this, you may have to buy a new ticket or remain where you are while the rest of us go on.


Feel free to have a look around the station. The train will be here shortly. As soon as it arrives, you can find your seat and then wander around and get to know your fellow travelers.

Day 2: Welcome to Paris. Feel free to wander around and enjoy the sites.

Check out these attractions: Attractions

If you just want to find a hotel, here are recommendations: Hotels

Day 3: Welcome to Amsterdam. There are sites to see for everyone. Check out the canals. Eat in one of the many fine restaurants. Or if you are into more risqué fun, check out the Red Light District. Here.

We'll be heading for Berlin in the morning.

Day 5:
Today we've arrived in Venice. Venice is really a collection of small islands connected by canals. Venice is the perfect city for couples. If you want to stay around, you can catch the Venice Carnival that begins the end of January. For now, you can take a romantic or relaxing Gondola ride. You can take a tour of the city by boat. You can crash in one of the many luxury hotels. There are museums, amazing architecture, or opera houses. If nightlife is your thing, there are jazz clubs, coffee houses, and pubs to enjoy.

Day 7: And our trip this week ends in Budapest. Stay as long as you like and enjoy your trip home.

*blushes too, as their fingers lace together*

I do, actually. And I'd be happy to show you something. Maybe... I could draw you?

*smiles widely*

If we're going on our second date, I think it should be romantic. As long as that's okay with you.

Oh gosh... I've been doing it since I was a kid. It was a good way to pass the time overseas, and now I do it to relax. When the world gets too loud, you know?

-Steve

Honestly? Yes.

*takes a breath and squeezes her hand, smiling gratefully*

But I'm learning how to deal with it. I'm moving... into the Tower. And apparently I can have my rooms there as soundproof as I'd like... maybe decorated to be a little less modern.

Of course, I have no eye for decorating, so that might be a disaster.

I'm pretty vintage...

*grins, teasing*

Oh! Here I was, proud of myself for flirting with you, and it turns out you were the one doing the flirting.

*laughs softly, but doesn't blush(!)*

I am, you know. Interested. I mean, in case I haven't made that clear, because I don't really know how to make it clear.

*impulsively lifts her hand and presses a kiss to the back of it*

You're just... so real. And timeless.

Does that sound strange? I realize it might not be the kind of compliment that gal - er, a lady - would go crazy for.

-Steve

Everything!

*grins* I think my ideas are so cliche, and old-fashioned. Like, I want to sketch at a table at a cafe along the Seine, while drinking strong coffee with a beautiful dame - er, lady - by my side...

*shakes his head* It's... what would Clint call it... "pure cheese", right?

-Steve

And then if I like the coffee too much, I'll know who can make it for me.

*beams, face lighting up*

You don't mind? When I say "dame"? Natasha threatens to take me to the mat whenever I say it in her earshot. "Gal", too.

My mother raised me to respect women, and never see them as weak. Treat them right, but understand they could do things for themselves too, you know? And Peggy, gosh, she was just... stronger than most men in the army, right until the day she died.

And I'm lucky, now. I meet so many strong, beautiful dames these days, too. Who are determined, and take care of themselves, and are everything ma told me a woman could be.

*grins almost sheepishly*

-Steve

*winces* That's... wow. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned...

I'm sorry.
