Helen was young but confident that as a seasoned traveller Edward would guide her to Europe's oldest cities with their historic treasures. Lodged at the best hotels, they discovered mutual interests and with his library of travel guides, Edward often adapted their route. After the Low Countries, with landscapes viewed from the comfort of well-sprung carriages or new rail tracks, they explored Germany's Rhineland to reach Switzerland. They crossed the Alps by carriage and relaxed by the Italian lakes and then discovered ancient southern cities bathed with autumn sun and Sorrento, Naples and Pompeii, under magical night skies.
