Germany
Regrettably, we did not get much time at all
to spend in Germany, but it was the starting point for our big trip.
We first jumped a train from Munich to Fussen, to see the Famous
Neuschwanstein castle, (which Disney used as a model for the Cinderella
castled). With any luck, I will be able to go back and spend a week just
bopping around Germany. |

Rome Italy
After an interesting 12 hour on a sleeper car
train from Munich, we arrived in Rome on a very Rainy Thursday. We were able
to spend a full 12 hours in Rome and I can't wait to go back. We
started off getting off the Metro at the foot of the ruins of THE Roman
Coliseum, and the rest of the day just kept getting better and better.
In all we probably walked around 15 miles that day through the streets of
Rome, No tour busses, guides or Taxies, just walking, "when in Rome". |

Getting to walk through the Coliseum was
unbelievable.
Let's just say that this is DEFIANTLY one
thing that I can check off of my
"Things to do before I die"
list. |

The Netherlands
Getting to the Netherlands was of course the
real reason for the trip. We came in Friday night riding first class
on a bullet train from Paris (a story by itself). We met Robert Voss
at his club around 10:00 and that was just the beginning of the night,
and that night was just the beginning of a great weekend.
Robert Voss was an incredible host and the only mistake that I made was not
planning enough time to do all of the events that Robert had planned for us.
We all had a great time Thank you Robert. |
