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.

Miss Hooper. I wasn't expecting to run into you here.

*startles* M-Mycroft... hello.

- Molly

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

So, what brings you to Amsterdam?

~Mycroft

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

Um... vacation. *smiles awkwardly*

- Molly

((Translation: Trying to get away from Sherlock Holmes and anything having to do with him for awhile.))

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

I wish I could say the same. I'm here on a business trip.

~Mycroft

((Poor Molly.))

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

*nod* Would you like a coffee? *motions toward the counter*

- Molly

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

That would be lovely.

*softly* How are you holding up, Molly?

~Mycroft

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*rubs her eyes* Fine. Just... tired. *order two coffees and a brownie of the unspecial variety*

- Molly

((Nice icon.))

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

*studies her, trying to figure out what she's hiding*

I know you were a lot closer to my brother than I was.

~Mycroft

((It was part of my Tashmas gift.))

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

We weren't that close. *eyes Mycroft* He was never close with anyone... but John, I suppose.

- Molly

((RIGHT. I remember now.))

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

Yet he clearly trusted you.

~Mycroft, totally fishing

((I only got around to uploading it yesterday though.))

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

I hope that's true. *picks up their coffees and hands him his*

- Molly

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

*takes a sip of his coffee*

He may not have always treated you well, but it's very much true.

~Mycroft

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*texts* Probably. They *are* sleeping together these days.

Is it? *takes another bite* I'm trusting you not to let me do anything too crazy here.

- Molly


I don't want to mix you and work, love. I need you separate. And yes, please.

- Greg

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

I want to be far, far away when Sherlock figures that out. It won't be pretty.

~John

*texts* I'll respect your wishes on that, but if you ever change your mind... Is a dozen brownies sufficient or should I get more?

If you do anything too crazy, I'll be doing it right along with you.

~Mycroft

((I've dumped Mycroft off in the new thread, if Lestrade wants to show up there.))

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*texts* You and me both.

Fair enough.

- Molly


Should be enough, love. I'd say not to get yourself arrested on the plane trip home, but then I'd be forgetting who you are, wouldn't I?

- Greg

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

Maybe we should go on holiday when that happens. I hear South America is lovely.

~John

So, what do you usually do for fun, Molly?

*texts* The only person in law enforcement that will ever know about the brownies is you, darling.

~Mycroft, trying to make small talk

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*blushes slightly, shaking her head at the idea of John Watson ever wanting to take a vacation with her*

*puts her phone away*

I'm a workaholic, Mycroft. I watch Glee and knit.

- Molly


Good. Now stop texting me. I'm very busy and important.

- Greg

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

*texts* Yes, dear.

What is Glee?

~Mycroft

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

It's a really bad TV show about singing teenagers. *finishes off her first brownie*

How quickly am I supposed to feel this?

- Molly

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

I don't really have time to watch telly.

It depends, but it usually doesn't take too long. *is only halfway through his first brownie*

~Mycroft

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*nods* So what do you do for fun? Besides Greg, I mean.

- Molly, who just really wants to be high and not care as soon as possible

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

Considering you just asked that question, I think you're starting to feel it.

*quickly finishes the rest of his first brownie*

I'm also quite the workaholic, so doing Gregory is really the only fun I have time for.

~Mycroft

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*nods* I like Greg. He was nice to me once when he didn't have to be.

*sits back in her seat* I don't know what you do. It's... secret, yes?

- Molly

Gregory is a wonderful man. He saved Sherlock when he didn't need to. Pulled him out of the gutter and gave him a reason to get off the drugs. Even I couldn't accomplish that.

Officially, I occupy a minor position in the British Government. Unofficially, well let's just say I have the ability to make Gregory's ex-wife's life very unpleasant. Just don't tell him I said that - he'll be cross that I'm meddling.
