At the weekend I was in Edinburgh and I decided to get a Borders Explorer ticket which entitles you to a return train journey from Edinburgh to Galashiels/Tweedbank and then unlimited use on Borders buses from Galashiels Interchange to some of the towns and villages in the Scottish Borders

Yesterday I had a disastrous day in Berlin, I was on an S-Bahn train which hit a fallen tree on the line so I was stuck for over an hour while the line was cleared. When we finally moved it crawled to the next station where it terminated and in the confusion I left my phone on the train seat 📱😭

It's time to head towards home, yesterday lunchtime caught the overnight Lux Express Coach from Tallinn to Warszawa. For this journey I had booked a solo premium relax seat on that coach which offers more comfort and space but unfortunately I got downgraded to a standard seat due to a coach change

Good luck to me 'ol pal Stu who's embarking on a mammoth walk starting today for Charity from London Kings Cross to Inverness 👣 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Myself stood in front of two Azuma trains at King’s Cross station

I survived my first ever overnight coach journey and arrived in Tallinn, Estonia a country I've never been to before. Is that the end of your longest journey I hear you cry, well not quite I have one more to get to my final destination. Had a quick look at Tallinn Station before going to the port 🛳️

I left Warszawa last night to continue my long journey into the Balkans and I took the overnight Lux Express Coach, I'd booked a premium solo relax seat for comfort but unfortunately the coach got swapped out and I got bumped down to a cramped standard seat so I didn't have the best night sleep 🥱😳

I arrived in Warsaw more or less on time 🙂 First thing I wanted to do was visit the railway museum but when I got there I found it was closed due to a special event 😔 I made my way to the old town and first thing I saw was the tomb of the unknown soldier, it's watched over by 2 armed soldiers 💂💂
