Inspiration. Travel. Life.
Our journey to the European 2015 adventure starts late aboard a night flight to Athens. This seemed like a great, efficient idea at the time but when arriving sleep deprived at 4AM in Greece the scheduling seems questionable, to say the least. The 95 bus from the airport takes us into the centre and as …
Train tickets have been reserved, hotels have been booked and the all important travel insurance has been renewed. What does this mean? InterRailing 2015 is T-minus 9 days away and with that comes the final all important task we all love to hate- packing. Packing for Europe (and three weeks on the road/tracks) is no …
Having left Rome in the midst of a thunderstorm we couldn’t have asked for a better juxtaposition of weather arriving into the most glorious of Spanish summer days. Before this we spent a tedious 3 hours in a minute departures lounge as our plane got increasingly delayed throughout the day. The type of airport lounge …
All aboard the high speed train to Roma Termini which is by far the most 21st Century train we have resided in so far- the screens above the carriage seats and reclining chairs emanate an aeroplane on tracks. I spend most of the journey trying to subtly stalk the two American girls next to us …
The train journey from Lake Bled to Venice included a short couple of hours layover in Villach, Austria which turned out to be a beautifully quaint alpine town probably visited by most as a intersection between journeys. The first person I saw upon arrival into the train station was in fact a Nun which satisfied …
Having made the sad decision to sacrifice some extra hours in Bled in favour of some R & R in Munich we arrived early afternoon which, granted, was a much more sociable time than the original 5am plan. Making the connection at Villach was a close call as someone (not me) took us to the …
Ah Germany. I was so looking forward to nothing more than a stopover in Munich to experience some authentic markets, Bavarian churches and all things Deutschland. Unfortunately that last meal in Prague had other ideas and I woke up at 4am on the day of our journey to some all too familiar stomach pains and …
After an ironically sleepless night on the sleeper train (which, evidently, is the loudest mode of transport in existence) and the most beautiful 4.30am sunrise over Berlin we arrive in sunny Prague backpacked and ready to go. We successfully navigate the journey from the station to the Old Town and even more successfully manage to …
Amsterdam- the land of waterways and the “liberal” minded. What felt like the world’s shortest flight from Gatwick saw us arrive with a mild case of post party exhaustion coupled with eager adventure anticipation. In short this meant my throat felt like it had been submerged in the fire of Hades and I wanted nothing …
My friends will know that no great venture of mine is complete without a video montage to accompany it. InterRailing Europe was practically perfect in every way. As an extra special way to celebrate Tom turning 30 we set off on the most incredible trip from London visiting Amsterdam, Prague, Munich, Lake Bled, Venice, Rome and …
