There is so much to see and do, it was hard to set limits. I know we will be missing a lot, mostly because we are never staying more than 4 days in any city, but this is a highlights only European Grand Tour. 6 countries, 21 days, roughly 3200 miles (5150 km), not including the flight from Seattle.<\/p>\n
We will start in London, hitting some of the museums and renting a car for a day to drive to Stonehenge and Windsor Castle (and for the excitement of driving on the wrong side of the road from the wrong side of the car). Then we travel by train to Brussels Belgium for lunch, and on to the Rhine River in Germany to view some old castles. From there, we go to Europa Park<\/a> for some roller coaster thrills. After spending a night in Basel Switzerland, we fly to Naples Italy so we can see Pompeii, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast. We fly back to Switzerland, this time to Geneva, and catch a shuttle bus to Chamonix France to hopefully see Mont Blanc, if the weather cooperates. Then we take a series of trains to get to Arles France to see old Roman ruins. Finally, it’s off to Paris for about a day and a half before flying home. Whew! We will be busy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There is so much to see and do, it was hard to set limits.
