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.

Oh! Okay... *nods, looking a little shy all of a sudden*

- Elijah, who couldn't help noticing that Derek is hot

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

I really only have one ex. *smiles shyly*

-Derek, who thinks the same of Elijah

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

Seriously? I have too many exes to count. Only some of them are worth counting, to be honest.

Is it that you do one night stands or that you were in a committed relationship? I don't know how people do that.

- Elijah

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

One really bad ex and a few one night stands. *shrugs*

-Derek

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

So many bad exes, a few one night stands, and my college girlfriend - the only girl I've ever dated. She's my roommate now.

- Elijah

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

My ex was the only girl I dated. *jaw tenses when he thinks of Kate*

*tilts his head* That's not awkward?

-Derek

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

You'd think it would be, but it really isn't. She knows I'm gay and... she's cool, you know?

- Elijah

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

*nods even though he really doesn't know*

Do you live here?

-Derek

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

God, no. I don't know if I'd want to. Beautiful city, but I feel like I'd lose my ability to appreciate it.

I live in New York. You?

- Elijah

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

California.

Did you come here to just see the city?

-Derek

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

I suppose. It felt like a good time to get out of New York for a bit - see Paris, Amsterdam... meet people... enjoy life for a change.

I've had a rough few weeks.

- Elijah

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

That sucks, about your bad weeks, I mean. *frowns, feeling awkward because he's really not used to the small talk* Are you enjoying yourself though?

-Derek

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

Sort of. *leans in closer* We both agree that the art is boring, so why are we still standing here looking at it?

- Elijah

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

The other views? *smirks and cocks his hips*

-Derek

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

Some other views are better explored in hotel rooms.

- Elijah (whose other views are pretty spectacular (http://24.media.tumblr.com/cc324fd869a460a2c7131fbb2b5e2584/tumblr_mgnkqcyEL61r5t5sio2_500.gif) - and nsfw)

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

Yours?

-Derek

((THOSE ARE SOME VERY GOOD VIEWS))

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

I came in on a train, but I'll happily get a hotel room to spend more time with you.

- Elijah

((TOTES))

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

I'd offer to take you back to mine, but my room's next to my friends' and I'd rather not think about what they're doing in there. *grins*

-Derek

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*laughs*

Okay then. Mine it is... I just need to find a place. *offers his hand to Derek* Coming?

- Elijah

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

Once we get that room. *winks and takes Elijah's hand*

-Derek

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

Promises promises. *winks and leads Derek out of the museum, pulling out his cellphone to search for hotels nearby and leading him toward one*

- Elijah

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

*growls out lowly* Don't worry, I'll follow through.

-Derek

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*stops in his tracks, turning to face Derek*

I cannot tell you how hot that growl was.

*leans in to kiss him tentatively*

- Elijah

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

*grins* Lot more where that came from. *wraps hand around back of Elijah's neck and pulls him in for a deeper kiss*

-Derek

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*rests a hand on Derek's hip, squeaking slightly in surprise as he's kissed*

*struggles to catch his breath as he says* You're really good at that.

*kisses Derek again*

- Elijah
