Gary Seckendorf - Best Places to Visit in Europe

Hi, everyone this New Year I am planning to visit to Europe. This is my first trip and I don't know much about Europe. As Europe is big a continent, so someone tell me the best places in Europe where I enjoy.
Thanks
Gary Seckendorf

I cannot believe that you left out Copenhagen and Santorini.

Are you leaving in a few days like the last trip? I'm surprised that your September trip left you with no knowledge of Europe nor where to visit. Have you tried reading guide books?

Maybe he had so much fun he forgot what happened. That happened to me one night in Vegas.

Go where you can get one of those walking sticks where you can hammer on little curved metal souvenirs of where you've been.

>>Minsk, Scunthorpe and Torremolinos.<<

I thought they were a forgotten music-hall act. Like Wilson, Keppel and Betty, only with added slapstick.

I can tell you a lot about European trains and how for the average tourist only going to large cities trains are the best as cars are more and more useless in European cities and the public transports so good.

Great sites for planning a European rail trip: www.seat61.com; www.ricksteves.com and www.budgeteuropetravel.com - download the latter's free online and superb IMO European Planning & Rail Guide for lots of rail-themed itineraries, rail maps, etc.

Why include your name in your title...? Should it mean something to us?

Google "Gary Seckendorf" for a real hoot. He was born in Chicago in 1950, 1960, 1975, and asks questions all over the net in the same format, always using the name in the title and question. There may also be a real Gary Seckendorf who may be a financial advisor, and the troll may be trying to make him look foolish.

I am not Gary Seckendorf.

His first thread was posted just before he went back to school in the Fall. Now he is off on Christmas break.

The best way to get around is walk. I would start in the Italian Alps wearing sandals and shorts and head for the Pyrenees. There is a nice B & B in Stockholm where you can stop for the evening. Order the burritos they are best in town.

Please provide a trip report.

I Googled him too and immediately wrote him off as a troll or someone pranking the real Gary Seckendorf.

I love when people with false names get exercised over a fake person.
