His trip report will be in 14 parts-one for each city.

Not and feat and you have a long way to go, I hit 5 in just one day.
Left my home in Southern France and flew from Girona, Spain, to Charleroi, Belgium. My friends picked me up at the airport and drove me to their place in France via Luxemburg. We drove through Schengen to a roundabout appropriately called "three borders". Took a right turn and we were in Germany.......

We have been in three countries on one day many times. A flight, a transfer, and to our home country. Trip report forthcoming but it is mainly about a cart with inedible food blocking the aisle.

FWIW, when our feet and stamina were great, my dear departed hub and I visited 18 Italian cities in 14 days via a first class train ticket. This was before we had learned ANYTHING about trains needing reservations. We based in Venice (flew into), Pisa, Verona and Rome (flew out of).

Since several of the towns were 1/2-day trips, and we weren't losing time changing hotels, we felt like we got enough of a taste. When we liked something, we could stay longer or return on another trip. We based in the larger and/or more touristy places to have lots to do in the evenings.

EuroFred, I too want to read your travel report!

Give him(?) a chance. He only got home 4 days ago. He's probably still catching his breath.

Naw - I still think he's dead and buried - murdered by mutinous relatives.

But honestly - I do hope he comes back and reports . . .

Why do you want the opinions of fodorites if you have already set this trip up?

The people who want a trip report are the same ones who are amused by the Kardahians.

The thinnest of skins. I guess people can insult the OP with impunity but to equate trip reports and the Kardashians is a sacrilege.

OK, I'm sorry. Reading it would like craning your neck to see the results of a car crash.

IMHO, there never was a trip---Fred has been laughing at us.
