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.

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

*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

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

- Molly

((Nice icon.))

*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

*nods, taking her coffee and brownie to a table and sitting down*

I hope I'm not rude for saying so, but I sort of came on vacation to get away from this stuff. Sherlock. Even now, he seems like such a part of my life. Constant.

- Molly

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

My apologies. I can't seem to get away from it all either - especially now that Moriarty's men have started turning up dead.

*watches her closely for her reaction*

~Mycroft

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*shifts uncomfortably at just the mention of his name*

I really don't... he's... *sips her coffee*

I hate that name.

- Molly

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

You're not the only one, my dear.

~Mycroft

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

Oh... did he date you? *raises an eyebrow*

- Molly, who is suddenly feeling really on edge

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

No, but he still played me.

How did you think he got all that information about my brother. It certainly wasn't from Doctor Watson.

~Mycroft

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*nods* I'm sorry. I... he's even harder to talk about than Sherlock, is all. I don't talk about him.

- Molly

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

You don't need to apologize Molly. The one who should be apologizing is my brother for forcing you to keep such a large secret.

~Mycroft

((There was no way he was going to be able to have a conversation with Molly without figuring it out. He is a Holmes after all.))

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*stares at him for a moment, then buries her face in her hands and starts sobbing quietly*

- Molly, who has had enough... of everything

((Of course.))

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

*sits there awkwardly because he has no idea how to deal with a crying woman*

~Mycroft

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*grabs a napkin and wipes her tears away with it* I'm sorry. I just... thought if I took a break, I could get away from it for just a little while, but I can't. I can't get away from any of it. Even if you weren't here asking me about these things, I'd still be having nightmares.

I can't get away.

- Molly

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

I know it's hard for you, but talking about it helps. Or so I've been told. It's not exactly a strong suit of mine.

~Mycroft

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

I haven't been able to talk about it. I've had no one to talk to all this time. *stares at her brownie, no longer hungry*

I'm tired, Mycroft. Just tell me what you want to know, or have you figured it all out? If you have, I don't need to be here.

- Molly, who is just... so miserable

((She's become more and more unhappy the longer I've played her.))

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

You're more than welcome to talk with me whenever you wish, though I should warn you I'd probably just end up saying the wrong things.

Let me help you, Molly. At least with dealing with him. That's one burden no one should have to shoulder on their own.

~Mycroft

((Poor Molly. And Mycroft totally isn't helping.))

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*pushes her brownie away*

I don't know where to start.

- Molly

((Not really. Poor thing needs a boyfriend or something.))

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

Did he tell you why?

~Mycroft

((John would sleep with her again, but that would just hurt her even more when Sherlock finally comes back.))
