1987 Eurail Trip

 I first went around Europe with friends in 1987. Kind of DDLJ tour, by train, though Kajol was absent. There were 4 SRKs instead. We started at Frankfurt, and went around to Amsterdam, Belgium, parts of Germany, France, South of France, Pisa, Rome, Venice and passed through Luzerne and visited William Tell's hometown. The proof of travel..

Indian and Foreign Rivers

 Maybe a few in the U.S. and a couple in Europe..the rest are Indian. Those I have seen, I mean.

Colorado river leaves gorgeous gorges in its wake. I have also seen the Potomac in Washington D.C., and the Mississippi somewhere in the South. 

In Europe, it was the Rhine in Germany, Seine in Paris, and not sure which one in the Netherlands and Venice..could be canals.

In India, the Ganga, Yamuna, Bramhaputra, Godavari, Cauvery, Mahanadi, Gomti, Netravathi and Tungabhadra are a few prominent ones I remember. Here in Indore, the Narmada is visible in 2-3 places nearby, and also near Jabalpur among the magnificient Marble Rocks.

Europe

Europe Pics, and a couple from the Bahamas- scuba and bathing beauties.

European Odesseys

I had two of these. Some pics-

 The Eiffel Tower, and the Eurail Pass that got us there-

 Tintin country. And fooling around at a sandy beach in Europe (below).

 Gondola=Venice and on a train.

 Marseilles- that Bond-ish feeling! Heidelberg, below.

 Rome, and Chateau D' If, above and below.

 Leaning at Pisa, and straightened at Mt. St. Michael, France.

 The Roman fountain, and postcards..

 Mostly Greek, with mythology as the central theme. picture perfect, below.

Europe Tour of 1991

 Testing the porosity- Poros island, Greece (above) and Cape Sounion, below.

 This was a trip made by Eurail, a pass for 14 days that enabled us to roam around unfettered, staying with friends or sleeping on the train.. a nice and inexpensive way to look at much of Europe.

 More Greeks (above) and French (below)- Mt. St. Michael. Here (in France) we had our friend Anne who took us around in her car.

These Greek beauties came all the way to the U.S. just for this pic with me :) Not really, these pretty young women were daughters of Athena, whom my wife taught some English at Greenwood, SC, USA.

Europe by Eurail

 Mediterranean Blue.

I made two different trips of Europe by Eurail, and these are some pics from the French leg of those. Except the last pic, which is from Greece. You can actually travel overnight sleeping on the train, to cut hotel costs, bathe up at railway stations, and see a city a day across Europe- many countries are covered by a single pass for unlimited travel for a fixed number of days-I took a 14 day pass. This is a good way to backpack and get more bang for your Euros.

European Odyssey

Mediterranean blues.

Rural France, Pleudiry.

Scary French God/Devil.

Greek God?

They do have forts.

Stranded? No, Anne (below) rescued her.

This was a memorable trip that took us to rural France where a friend, Anne lived. Her mom is an artist, and we were able to see some of her paintings. Rennes, Dinan and a few other spots were visited with Anne. Mont St. Michel too, by the sea. Speaking of seas, the Greek odyssey saw us take a ferry from Brindisi to Patras via Corfu, which I had read about in Gerald Durrell's book My Family and Other Animals- a great book.
The colour of the sea in Greece is a lovely deep blue. Poseidon, Athena and a few other Gods and Goddesses came to life at various spots in Greece. Lively and quarrelsome people, chaotic just like us Indians.
