Half the fun is in the planning they say.

Had planned to travel through France on the 10th but a rail strike saw me routing through Brussels instead.

This morning I thought I’d better check for strikes in Italy and lo, more planning fun! National rail strike 11th June.

It looks like my Intercity Notte will run from Milan but I don’t know if any trains will run from the Swiss border. Fun and games…

Hello Dublin! 🇮🇪 #nofly #slowtravel
Irish Sea much calmer than forecast. #nofly #slowtravel
I'm not in Manchester anymore! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #nofly #slowtravel
Ticket inspector says it's not often we see one of those tickets 😔 #nofly #slowtravel
It's adventure time! An inauspicious start as my train to Manchester is cancelled. Fortunately there's another one that makes the connection. #nofly #slowtravel

Did you know there is an actual desert inside #Greece? The Gomati sand dunes on #Lemnos stretch for kilometers inland. Stumbling into a desert landscape right in the middle of the sea is a strange feeling. I am curious: Do any of you deliberately choose difficult-to-reach places over huge #hotel chains for your summer trips? I dropped a very specific route plan below for those who just want an empty #beach.

Habt ihr gewusst, dass es in Griechenland eine echte Wüste gibt? Auf #Lemnos ziehen sich die Sanddünen von Gomati kilometerweit ins Landesinnere. Mitten in der Ägäis stehst du plötzlich in einer Wüstenlandschaft. Mich würde mal interessieren: Wer von euch zieht im Sommer absichtlich Orte vor, die keine Direktflüge oder große Hotels haben? Für alle, die leere Strände suchen, habe ich hier eine ziemlich konkrete Routenplanung: https://europa.tips/de/nordaegaeische-inseln-sommerurlaub

We talk a lot about overtourism in #Italy. But on Alicudi, there is no asphalt and no cars. Mules haul your luggage up endless stone steps. No power lines at the top, just the wind. I am curious: how far are you willing to give up modern comfort to get genuine silence on vacation? If you want that kind of extreme isolation, look into these 7 car-free or highly remote islands off #Sicily. #SlowTravel #Mediterranean https://europa.tips/en/aeolian-islands-sicily-itinerary
