As of today I have finally had some time to actually make reservations for my train journey across Europe. As I said previously this part of the trip in not so much about places as it is about the journey.

Therefore, I will leave Yorkshire on a morning train on the 22nd of December heading for London, where I pick up the Eurostar, the first leg of the journey which takes me to Paris. Paris is only to change from the station where the Eurostar arrives, Paris Nord, to the Gare Lyon to catch the train heading for Venezia.
This will be an overnight trip arriving in Venezia Sunday morning at 9:30 AM. This gives me a day and a half to see something of Venice, Perhaps go and see Harry's Bar where Ernest used to hang out, having already seen his Cuban hangout in Habana, and take in some of the other points of interest.
Monday afternoon I head for Roma, and I am not spending much time here, just overnighting before catching my ride to Syracusa in the late evening. From Syracusa the Journey continues by sea. I must remember to make the reservations for the ferry tomorrow! From Syracusa I will have to find a local train heading to Pozallo from whence the ferry leaves.
