Thanks to the "Man In Seat 61!"

SUMMATION:

Thanks to "The man in seat 61. The title of this last blog sounds like a mystery novel, but it is in reference to a website called "the man in seat 61." This site saved our souls many times during this journey. It is a complete European train travel guide and we recommend it to anyone considering train travel in the future.

Visiting nineteen countries over a 100 day span, we are giving this European trip a 9+ rating.

TOP 3:

#1 Norway - the famous Oslo to Bergen and Flam railway trip - spectacular scenery

#2 Prague - architecture and colours, took my breath away

#3 Lagos, Portugal - gorgeous beaches

This adventure started with a desire to vacation in Portugal. Obviously, it took us a long time to get there. Seeing country sides and city sides that you could only view by travelling on the train. In fact, we rode over;

15,000 km on 78 trains

500 km on 5 ferries

1,000 km on metros and subways

Not a rental car in sight.

The positives and negatives of Europe were obvious; immigration, homelessness, climate change, and political unrest which has placed a great strain on many countries.

Thank you for being part of our family, and extended family. We so appreciate your comments, and for caring about our adventures and well being. The many people we met along the way who started out as strangers, and ended also as friends, we will always remember.

Here is to future adventures!

Love,

Thelma and Louise

aka Bonnie and Clyde
