Thanks for your reply. I've been thinking about this trip for quite a while, but haven't done much research as it didn't look like the trip would happen in the near future. As it turns out, I might be able to go this summer. If not, next summer. Anyway, my main question is about aquiring rooms. I prefer not to travel on a set itinerary and wonder about finding rooms as I go. Shoud I have a list with me to work from, or are hotel locators available similar to those I've used at or near train stations in other European countries?

I had great fun reading about your trip, and appreciate your passing on information.

Until later, Jackie
