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.

*grins slowly and gives a nod*

Aye. Always.

*pulls out a silver lighter and flicks it open, cupping it with his other hand and seeing if the stranger will step closer*

*grabs a cigarette from his pocket and places it in his lips*

*walks closer and leans his head in to light up*

*breathes in deeply and puffs it out* Thanks. *smirks*

*watches him inhale, arching an eyebrow as he snaps the lighter shut*

I'll never understand not carrying a lighter. When I want to smoke, I want to smoke now. Then again, patience - not my strong suit.

-Ashley

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

*chuckles* Don't always smoke. Picked up a pack around the corner and forgot a lighter.

-Derek

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Ahhhh.

*nods knowingly*

Special circumstances, then. I'll forgive ye.

*smirks*

-Ashley

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

*rolls his eyes* Appreciate that.

Like the accent. Don't think you're from around here though, are you?

-Derek

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Ah. No.

*grins*

I know. Dead giveaway, the accent, yeh? You're from even further away, tho.

-Ashley

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

California. *grins*

-Derek

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Ooh. Exotic.

-Ashley

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Not really.

-Derek

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

*shrugs*

Never been to the States, meself. So you're an oddity to me, at least.

I'm from Edinburgh, but I've been living and working out of the country for a while.

-Ashley

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

Never been to Scotland, so you're an oddity to me too. *mocking tone*

-Derek

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

*grins*

It just so happens that I like tall, dark and handsome oddities.

*lights another cigarette off the butt of the first, trying to decide whether it's time to give the stranger a slow look up and down*

-Ashley

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

Haven't decided what I think of annoying little dorks who think they're all that. *smirks, but obviously checks him out as well*

-Derek

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Ohhhhh, annoying, hm?

*takes a long drag and exhales slowly*

Annoying is good. Means I'm getting under your skin. It's probably the accent, it literally charms the pants off of so many foreigners.

*smirks right back*

-Ashley

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

Need more than an accent to get in my pants, dork.

*blows out smoke and takes the cigarette out of his mouth, flicking the ash*

*licks his lips before sticking the cigarette back in*

-Derek

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Is that a challenge? Because I never back down from a challenge.

*watches intently as the stranger licks his lips*

-Ashley

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

Might just be. *smirks* Why don't you try and find out?

-Derek

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Might just.

*turns and starts walking, then glances back over his shoulder*

Coming?

-Ashley

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

*scoffs* I'm not a puppy. *follows anyway*

- Derek

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Wasn't implying that, was I. 'S usually big strong men that like to follow this arse.

*gives his ass a shake and keeps walking, slowly, just taking in the sights*

-Ashley

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

*rolls eyes and catches up with him, palming his ass when he does* Guess it is a nice arse. *totally butchers the accent*

-Derek

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Stick to Californian, handsome.

That hand'd fit okay in my back pocket, i think.

-Ashley

[sparklesdani.livejournal.com]

Not all of us are born with sexy accents, dork.

*slips hand into his back pocket* Wonder where else it'd fit.

-Derek

[nobodymove.livejournal.com]

Where I'm from, you'd be the one with the accent. And I think it's sexy. Not that anything about you isn't...

*turns to look at him, one eyebrow arched*

Oh, I think your hand's just right for lots of things. Hoping to find out?

-Ashley
