We're back in the Netherlands after a long 11 day trip through Europe. We rode lots of trains, ate in lots of restaurants, and saw lots of really old stuff.
I'll blog more about each part of our trip later. Here was our itenerary:
Day 1 - Friday, Nov 16 - leave hotel for train station at 9:30 am for the train station.
Train ride to Munich, Germany (changing trains a couple times) - get to Munich around 6 pm.
Overnight Train from Munich to Venice in a 2 person sleeper compartment. It reminded Barry a little too much of being on the submarine.

Dropped our bags at the hotel, and toured Venice all day.

Day 12 - Tuesday, Nov 27 - train ride back to Boekelo, Netherlands - Left Interlaken on train at 9 am, and arrived at our hotel in the netherlands at 9:30 pm. - very long day
It was a beautiful countryside to view from the train during the days. You could actually tell when you entered a new country because the architecture of the houses changed drastically. The people were all very friendly and most spoke English very well. The food was good, sometimes great. We have lots of pictures, and lots of memories.... and we'll never have to do it again. :)
