The Ponte Vecchio, Florence, one evening in 1986
scanned from my own photos of an Inter Rail tour around Europe, including all the main sight seeing places of Paris, Cannes, Nice, Montecarlo, Monaco, Pisa, Florence, Rome, Brindisi, Corfu, we were green and met at the Port by Agents who persuaded us to stay at their place known as the 'Pink Palace' which turned out to be a bit of a camp bedded
Den-of-iniquity so we hired motorbikes, ate out and took our possessions with us (as someone nearby was robbed), but apart from that we had fantastic cheap lodgings and great food mainly in hotels arranged by an Agent at each Rail Station (looking to fill rooms), back to Brindisi, Venice, Lienz Austria, a day trip up the mountain road Grossglockner hochalpenstrassen by coach and then on foot using a lift down the slope onto the Grossglockner glacier and walked on the glacial ice and back; Salzburg, then back through Germany with a few hours in a City and back on the train to Ostende and home.
The struts under the houses that are hanging out over the Bridge sides
still surprise me!
I never kept a Diary, but have an envelope full of Hotel receipts and some places visited en-route and some photos of most of the stops and sites of interest.
