Monday, June 18, 2012 – The train ride from Amsterdam to Salzburg left the Centraal Station at 7am, so it was an early day for Julia & me.

European Honeymoon, 2012 – Day #5, Amsterdam, NL
Saturday, June 16, 2012 – Because of the EuRail pass and only being an hour outside of Amsterdam, Julia & I were in no rush to check-out and get to the train station. Regardless, we were out of the hotel room by 11am and made the 15-minute walk from the hotel to the train station. [...]

Italy, 2002 – Florence to Rome
The weather yesterday was incredibly nice – a little overcast, but that’s all. The weather reports called for rain, but it never surfaced, so I spent the day walking around Florence again and checked out the Boboli Gardens. The views from the Gardens were incredible, and the overcast skies really helped the views. I think [...]
Italy, 2002 – Venice to Florence
Bonjourno again, After taking in almost all of Venice, we decided to take the train to Bologna. Venice was REALLY nice, but aside from Piazza San Marco and the Church, the Rialto Bridge, and a few other attractions, it was more just a place to ‘experience’ than to tour. When we got to Bologna, it [...]
