Our fall trip is over. The flight home was uneventful and even a little luxurious. KLM recently took over the Amsterdam to Portland route from Delta. When we booked the flight on Deltas website I noticed that Business Class was about the same price as we usually pay for economy plus so we enjoyed the luxury of business class. KLM must have been trying to fill the plane for one of their inaugural flights, it was nice to see how the other half lives.
We added one new country to our list in Switzerland, and continued our fondness for Italy by spending some unplanned (originally) time in Italy. Since the purpose of this trip was fall colors we found the best colors were in Bled Slovenia.
We are looking at our options for the next trip. This could include a trip east towards Hungary while taking in Berlin and Vienna which we keep missing on our trips. We are also looking at going south towards Morocco.
We are still enjoying traveling this way, and I see a few more trips in our future before we wrap up our European adventure.
