2h40 hop to Budapest. The train was definitely flagging that we are in the European Feb school holiday season. We’ve never been in Hungary before, so this should be interesting.
Budapest
February 4, 2023 in Hungary ⋅ 🌬 2 °C
What a city Budapest is. We don’t have the time to tick off sights on this trip and, anyway, prefer to wander, look and see everyday life. However, we’ve had a look inside the Parliament building,Read more

Prague to Krakow

Krakow 1

Krakow Old Town amazingly beautiful and strikingly relaxed; maybe because it’s February!
Auschwitz-Birkenau
February 10, 2023 in Poland ⋅ ☁️ 1 °C

Bialystok to Vilnius
February 13, 2023 in Lithuania
Every train day is different and this one was no exception. A fairly rammed train from Bialystok meandered up through Northern Poland. The full house of train theatre… folk with the wrong ticket,Read more
Vilnius
February 14, 2023 in Lithuania
A gem of a city. Compared to others we’ve been to on this trip it seemed relaxed, uncrowded. There was a young and positive vibe to this city. A historic centre, immaculately preserved surrounded byRead more

A temporary hiatus in the rail trip today as we took to the bus as there are no direct rail connections between Vilnius and Tallin. Until they come (via the ambitious Rail Baltica high-speed lineRead more
Tallin

It snowed overnight so we wondered if Parkrun might be off… But of course not! A hardy crowd of friendly locals and tourists turned up. Ran a steady but so enjoyable run in lovely grippy snow,Read more
Helsinki to Kemi
February 19, 2023 in Finland
Well the trip up Finland to Kemi was today. Somehow we’d imagined small trains meandering through valleys, Alpine style.
