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.

Derek eases off and licks the spot he just marked. "Maybe that's the point."

Slowly, Ashley lifts his head, and blinks at Derek. He opens his mouth to ask, but can't find the words, so he ends up just staring.

Derek bites his lip and fights the urge to run. "Too much?"

Ashley shakes his head slowly. "Just... what I wasn't letting myself hope for."

"What are you hoping for?" Derek trails a finger along the mark.

Ashley's eyes flutter closed. "For this to be a lot more than just a fuck," he whispers, voice catching in his throat. His heart starts to hammer in his ears again, because he's terrified that he's saying the wrong thing, and that Derek is going to get up and walk away.

Derek slides his hand down to cover Ashley's chest where his heart is beating rapidly. "I want that too," he says, just barely loud enough for Ashley to hear. "But I can't stay in Amsterdam. I have to take care of my pack."

"I've... got a job to get back to in Leeds. Family. Friends," Ashley breathes out, looking down at where Derek's hand is resting on his skin.

"So. This is it, isn't it? All we get?" Derek strokes his thumb along Ashley's skin and swallows around the lump in his throat.

Ashley bites his lip, bites back his disappointment, and looks away. "Shouldn't get attached," he mutters.
