Very excited as my wife and I are leaving for Europe today. I have never been overseas so it will be a completely new experience. We will be starting our trip in Copenhagen, Denmark and doing a 23 day tour mostly by rail through the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, and Czech Republic On July 19 there is a marathon/half marathon in Fussen, Germany. I am running the half, wife is doing the full to celebrate her 40th birthday which is a few days later. Hopefully my lungs will be up for it after spending 3 days in Amsterdam and visiting a few coffee shops lol. While in Austria I hope to go to the site where my grandfather was a prisoner if war during WW2.
We will be doing plenty of beer testing in places like Munich, Germany and Plzen, Czech Rep.
The final 4 days will be back in Denmark. My wife's parents have close friends there. They own a cabin on a small island not far from Copenhagen, where I hope to get in some fishing while watching the huge ships cruise by.
One of the things I really am looking forward to is riding the high speed trains. The ICE train from Amsterdam to Munich travels 320km/hr. Fun.
We are travelling light, carry-on only. Hope to share some good stories and pics on our return.
