Things are finally coming together with the reservations for the trains I want to take on my upcoming Eurail trip. I have reservations for:

London-Amsterdam
Amsterdam-Berlin (sleeper)
Berlin-Kraków
Kraków-Budapest (sleeper)
Budapest-Braşov (sleeper)

Three more train trips after that will get me to Istanbul, but I can't book those yet. Getting there!

"The Gare Saint-Lazare, Arrival of a Train," Claude Monet, 1877.

You all know Monet.

This is one of a series of 12 he did inside a Paris train station. It's also regarded as one of this greatest works, with the billows of smoke/steam filling the cavernous terminal, and the blues that dominate the color scheme.

The series depicted the station in different weather conditions and from different perspectives. It also differs somewhat from the Impressionist cliche of gardens and parks; here Monet looks at industrialization in a world shedding the past and taking on modernity.

And now these trains seem quaint and old-fashioned.....

I just posted this at work and it seems like not everyone knows this.

You can take the Amtrak Coast Starlight from Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, Oakland, San Jose or LA in the other direction, to the Monterey Bay aquarium. On Amtrak.com, simply put Monterey Bay Aquarium as your destination and when you arrive in Salinas station at 12:20pm (daily), there will be a bus that waits for you and picks you up to send you to the doors of the Aquarium by 1:30pm (usually takes just 20min)

For a true car-free experience, book a hotel room in New Monterey near the Aquarium, like the Clement Intercontinental, Monterey Plaza, or Wave Street Inn or anything on that side of the tunnel (including Pacific Grove). You can walk / bike the coastal trail.

Rent a bike from Work Horse bicycles downtown.

If you bring your own bike on the train (check in without boxing!) you can put it on MST city bus no 20, the bus station is 5 min ride away. Wait at and have a taco at Tacos Don Beto next door. There is a small outdoor area for Covid cautious folks.
