7. kesäkuuta 2023, Itävalta ⋅ ⛅ 20 °CI didn't expect to stop here 🤔. The train left Zagreb at 7.05 this morning and should have arrived in Frankfurt at 19.40. Instead, it finished here, just 545km from my bed tonight!!

Starting on trip number 3, hopefully to somewhere well east of here (Dover).
Interesting to walk around this area, given its history.
Fairly famous place. Wenceslas Square. Having a beer to celebrate that particular king.
Part of the "Slovak Paradise National Park". Villa to myself. Silence!
At least 15 years since I was first here. Have discovered (so far), neither Hungarian or Romanian trains have refreshments. First time on a local train here.
Some trains are easier to sleep on to get here than others. Now exploring.
Photos are 1) sleeper, 2) changing axles at the border at 5am
Grand Railway station. Not sure if there are any trains. Not too sure what country I'm in.
Plan A = Bucharest - Varna. Plan B = Bucharest to Sofia. Beautiful scenery on the way here.
Matkaaja I caught the ferry from Bari to Durres a few days ago. Are you doing the same?
Matkaaja We were catching the one to Split! Staying here for a few hours then we‘ll go on over to Bosnia. How are you doing?
Matkaaja Now on my way back toward Calais. Almost accidentally spent the night in Frankfurt's Red Light district 🤣☹️. You should be OK going to Split (do see the old town!) but if your route includes Kosovo and Serbia then expect lots of changes of plan.
