cfbbackupLets 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.

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

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...
Date: 2013-01-19 11:14 pm (UTC)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...
Date: 2013-01-19 11:15 pm (UTC)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...
Date: 2013-01-19 11:21 pm (UTC)*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.

- Molly
Are you serious?
- Greg

That does tend to make denial difficult, yes.
Gregory is surprised as well.
*texts* Of course I am, Gregory.

Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...
Date: 2013-01-19 11:34 pm (UTC)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...
Date: 2013-01-19 11:44 pm (UTC)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
Re: At a cafe in Amsterdam...
Date: 2013-01-20 01:31 am (UTC)I haven't indulged like this before. *picks up a brownie and takes a bite*
- Molly
You know I had to work, Mycroft.
- Greg

*takes a bite of his own brownie*
It's nice to do on occasion.
*texts* Only because you wouldn't let me intervene, Gregory darling. Want me to bring some brownies home? They're as good as I remember.
~Mycroft
