Tour of Europe
In September of 1998, Felicia, Susie, Larry, and I went on a two-week tour through Europe. We decided to take a group tour with Trafalgar Tours to see as much of Europe as we could so we could come back again later and spend more time at some of our favorite spots. We had taken a tour through Switzerland earlier with Trafalgar Tours and liked it enough to go again.
We took 2 weeks off after the peak tourist season when school had started back in Europe. This was before the EU was formed so we got our passports stamped with several different stamps and used the local currency in each country. Now with the Euro, I miss the different money from different parts of a trip.

During our 2 weeks, we did not stay anywhere more than a few days. We started out and ended our trip in London and then stayed there a few more days to see more of London. We went across the English Channel from Dover to Calais by ferry boat and then went through the following places:
- Paris for 2 days,
- Lucerne Switzerland,
- Four days in Italy – Milan, Florence, Rome, and Venice,
- Innsbruck Austria,
- Munich, Bonn & Cologne Germany,
- River cruise on the Rhine, saw castles at every turn
- Amsterdam, Holland,
- Brussels, Belgium
- Back to London
