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.

Why he faked his death? Why he made John watch? Does he know how much he hurt the people that care about him?

Any of the above, really.

Protection. He did what he was required to... to save John and Greg and Mrs. Hudson and maybe us too.

Save how?

*sips her coffee*

Certain death.

Jump or people die?

*nods*

Maybe I should have bought one of the other brownies. *looks up toward the counter*

- Molly

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

My treat, if you do want one.

~Mycroft

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

*leans in and murmurs* I just want to feel something that isn't... completely helpless, depressed, lonely... completely sad all the time.

- Molly

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

Perhaps we both need a break from reality for awhile.

~Mycroft

((stoned!Mycroft has popped into my head and won't leave.))

If you're buying, I game. *stares at her phone, tempted to text John*

- Molly

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

You can have as many as you want.

*notices her staring at her phone*

Unless you're expecting someone else?

~Mycroft

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

Nope... no one else. Though you must know how tempting it is to tell John that you're about to get high with me.

- Molly

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

*chuckles*

I doubt he'd believe you. Gregory probably wouldn't believe it either if I were to tell him.

~Mycroft

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

So you're sleeping with him, aren't you? *smiles*

I'm observant too.

- Molly

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

We are together, yes. Gregory's kept me from completely falling apart.

~Mycroft

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you've had someone.

- Molly, who can't help feeling a little jealous

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

There's someone out there for you too, Molly. You'll find him when you least expect it.

I'll go get us some brownies. If you do text John, I want to hear his reaction.

~Mycroft

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*makes a face* Sure.

*grabs her phone and texts John* On vacation. Saw Mycroft out of the blue. We're about to get high together. Funny old world.

- Molly

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

*splutters when he reads the text*

Mycroft? Mycroft Holmes?

~John

*returns with four brownies, two for each of them*

We can get more later if you wish.

Would you mind if I text Gregory? I imagine his reaction will be at least as amusing.

~Mycroft

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

I don't mind at all. *smiles softly*

John's surprised. *holds the phone up and takes a quick photo of him, plate of brownies in front of him, and sends it to John*

- Molly

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

I'm not shocked that he is.

*takes out his own phone to text Lestrade*

Ran into Molly Hooper in Amsterdam. We're sharing some brownies of the special variety. MH

~Mycroft

*eyes widen at the picture*

Jesus christ, you're serious.

~John

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*texts* When am I not?

He can't deny it now that he's seen photographic evidence.

- Molly


Are you serious?

- Greg

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

Did I wake up in a parallel universe where this shit is normal? Oh god, he found out the truth about Sherlock didn't he?

~John

That does tend to make denial difficult, yes.

Gregory is surprised as well.

*texts* Of course I am, Gregory.

~Mycroft

((stupid html))

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[queer-theory.livejournal.com]

*texts* He figured it out himself. I think I freaked him out when I started sobbing.

It's just such a strange coincidence. Us both being here. And this isn't an activity most people would associate with either one of us, I'm guessing.

- Molly


Am slightly jealous.

- Greg

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...

[csichick-2.livejournal.com]

*rolls his eyes, even though he knows she won't be able to see*

Of course the bloody git figured it out himself. Fucking Holmeses.

~John

It's been years since the last time I indulged like this. I believe the last time I was in Amsterdam.

*smirks as he looks at his phone*

Gregory's jealous.

*texts* Pity you're not here with me, then.

~Mycroft
