As an introduction what more can I say; this was our honeymoon! During which we planned to visit Austria (Salzburg, Vienna & Graz), Slovenia (Ljubljana, Bled & Postojna) and finish up in Zagreb, Croatia; the latter being a cheaper and better place to fly home from more than anything else. Armed with Interail tickets and Read the Rest…
During October I traveled out to Greece, namely the Peloponnese part of Greece, to ride on a charter train on the now closed Peloponnese railway network. While the trip was mainly railway based I joined the train towards the end of its “Culture” based trip, before returning with the “Enthusiast” trip at the after the Read the Rest…
Having travelled round Eastern Europe for a few weeks in September 2014 we managed a quick dash into Montenegro; it was in overnight from Belgrade (Serbia), the day there and then back out overnight towards Belgrade the following night. It’s right what they say about the scenery in Montenegro, all of what we saw was Read the Rest…

The trip was in two parts, the first bit being solid trains and the second bit being a relaxing week, with a bit of trains, drifting from Zurich to Budapest via Prague & Bratislava with my girlfriend and a cracking week it was too; with weather that couldn’t have been better but was verging on Read the Rest…
Having spent a week in deepest darkest Arkansas doing railway related things our railway related things then took us on a journey across the USA from St Louis, Missouri, via Chicago, and ultimately to San Francisco. While the journey was marred a little by Amtrak’s late running it was certainly worth the while and some Read the Rest…
Italy is a country we’ve been threatening to visit for a couple of years now and as with every new country you visit it wasn’t the easiest to get to grips with straight away. There is literally so much to see that a five day visit barely touches the surface of the place and even Read the Rest…
This was our third trip to Switzerland and while visiting some places we’d been before there were still plenty of things on offer in the vicinity of said places that we hadn’t been. The one thing we hoped to do was visit Jungfraujoch as neither of us had been close to a glacier. One thing Read the Rest…
This trip had been a long, long, time overdue and very likely too late with Peru Rail having modified their train service over the last 10 years quite dramatically; there now being no service at all to Arequipa and the trains to Machu Picchu no longer start at Cusco San Pedro. Still, things are what Read the Rest…
This trip was more of an opportune trip than anything else; we had a voucher to use from January, when our previous Eurostar journey hadn’t gone as planned, and it was about the only weekend we could use it by the time we realised we might end up losing it. The outward trip by Eurostar Read the Rest…
This trip had been planned very early on in the year. Part of it was to cover NE India after an ill-fated trip a couple of years previous resulted in us not getting to the far reaches of Dibrugarh, Ledo & Dangari; the resulting plan had me covering vast distances and crossing the following states Read the Rest…
After our very enjoyable trip to Switzerland in April we wanted to visit some other equally as scenic parts of Europe and Austria was one such place. As an add on to that I soon became aware, through my research, of an impending disaster; whereby the Mariazellerbahn, which operated their train service would 100 year Read the Rest…
During early September I had a mad dash round Germany; all by train of course. The following are a few pictures take on my travels, my favourite of which has to be the sunrise at Piene (near Hannover), although the “Graffiti is Gay” nicely in full view of everyone that passes through Hamburg HB has Read the Rest…
Having been pondering doing Brazil since 2007 I finally got round to doing it; and not before time! Places visited: Natal, Joao Pessoa, Recife (Olinda), Maceio & Sao Paulo Our entry into Brazil was from Cuba on the back end of a visit there. We booked a return trip through Copa Airlines, via Panama City and would ultimately Read the Rest…
Flights to Cuba It was my first time flying with Air Europa, a Spanish based firm, but they were by far the cheapest option to get to Havana and it made perfect sense to use them, especially as the flight times worked quite well with our train arriving/departing Havana on the day of arrival. I’d Read the Rest…
As we’d enjoyed our trip to Switzerland so much in January a quick return offered itself up as a trip away for my girlfriend’s birthday. Having planned it quite well to get between the places we’d visit there were some cracking opportunities to get some Re420’s in, among other stuff. As our journey from Doncaster to Read the Rest…
