OK kids, this is how it's shaping up if we fly into Amsterdam but don't plan those nights yet Chickpea
Dec 27- Arrive Amsterdam hotel in amsterdam - day in Amsterdam - Redlight District, Brown cafes, Museums etc.
Dec 28 - Day in Amsterdam/ Trip into Alkmaar (wood shoe carving, cheesemaking, delft etc in one place). Overnight train to Paris
Alternately, we could head out for a train ride down the Rhine and take the overnight train from Frankfurt to Paris. I ldon't like Frankfurt but the Castles down the Rhine are great.
Have to check, we might be able to make it to Munich for the Hofbrauhaus that day and then take the overnighter from Munich to Paris (I think there's one) In any event we'll take an overnight train to Paris
Dec 29 - Day in Paris, hotel in Paris
Dec 30 - Day in Paris, overnight train to Salzburg
Do you want to see Moulin Rouge (can-can)? That would add $100 for just the show.
Dec 31 - New Year's eve in Salzburg - Night in Salzburg
Jan 1 - Day trip to Neuschwanstein (Disney Castle) http://www.castles.org/castles/Europe/Central_Europe/Germany/germany7.htm
Day train to and Hotel in Lucerne, Switzerland
Jan 2 - Either the Golden Pass or Glacier Express Panoramic Train
Glacier Express will take us to the foot of the Matterhorn but these mountains take time to get over so need to work on the timetable to see what we can do. We'd need to pick up an overnight train into Rome
Jan 3 - day in Rome Hotel in Rome
Colloseum, Roman Forum, Vatican in Day
Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps and Piazza Novona at night
Jan 4 - Morning in Rome early train to Venice. Overnight train from Venice to Amsterdam.
Jan 5 - Fly home
Got to check times on trains etc and would like to spend a little more time in Rome and Venice so if we can extend our time that would be great or I can try to rework and maybe trim somewhere else. Ali, as soon as you know when you need to be back let me know.
Let me know if there's anything you'd rather see.
Just general stuff. Do you want to see Castles, Monuments, Mountains, Shopping, Niche things? I tried to mix it up for you guys. Do you want me to check on the price of a hotair balloon over the Alps? I think it's about $250.
Also, do you want to see the Vatican City (if they are allowing tours) or the Sistine Chapel.
Also, do you want to see the Louvre (takes forever)? Need to know so that I can make sure we're not in Rome or Paris on the days that they're closed. So tell me your must sees or you'll be disappointed.
