I love train travel. I could just tour all over Europe and stop for a night or two in different places. Heading towards Florence now. A bit about Venice the train goes right onto the island and that last bit going across the water feels like the north New Orleans area mostly water and some oil refinery looking facili http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Tuscany/Florence/blog-278074.html Update...from Ireland up to the Netherlands...April 27 about 2 weeks ago I took a ferry from SE Ireland to Wales. I stayed in Wales for a few days in a town called Swansea where it was very restful and productive. I worked on music read wrote did laundry and ate well. It rained a bunch.On May 1 I trained to London met up with Anne's good friend Carla and later on with Elan and his honey D http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Netherlands/North-Holland/Den-Helder/blog-274741.html Hey folks thanks for your interest. I got to Ireland Friday 4.18.08 and left Sunday 4.27.08 yesterday rented a car and basically went 3 different places First Galway town in the west including the rural Connemara area to the northwest of there then heading eastward I happened to stop in a town called Bundoran in County Donegal where there was decent surf and nice folks. The last part of http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Ireland/County-Donegal/Donegal/blog-269527.html 4.18.08 Update since back in Londonhellip Dartmoor was incredible. Got back into London and enjoying it better this time. A tale from the hostel...rated R First night back at the hostel a pretty young lady stepped in the room while I was about to go down and make dinner. We got to chatting and decided to go get some dinner at a Greek restaurant just down the street it was raining. Shersquo http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Ireland/County-Galway/Connemara/blog-268703.html 4.10.08 Caught ferry to Dartmouth down the River Dart very scenic and peaceful. The commentator spoke near the entire time and I was interested that everyone was fascinated with near every bird and creature. Perhaps the downside of a long history if there is one is less wild lands. Busked more in Darthmouth. 4.11.08Stayed at the YHA in a beautiful coastal town called Salcomb. Classic town with http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Devon/Dartmoor/blog-268673.html So folks after much ado here's my travel blog.
