Okay so yeah, if you’ve followed this blog for long enough you will know that I am a major fan of one kind of transport – and that’s train. It’s pretty awesome and leaves buses for dead! But why do I love it so much? Train travel is varied There are so many different types …

Howdy all. I thought with today’s post I would get all sentimental-like and reminisce about my first time as a backpacker in Europe, as part of my first time around the world back in 1999. Yep – LAST CENTURY! I’m old. So anyways, on this occasion I concentrated on Western Europe. For the sake of …

Howdy all! Today I turn my lens to Mongolia, the incredible windswept country I visited last year on my Trans-Mongolian train journey. I entered from China in the south to Russia in the north, with time spent in the capital Ulaan Baatar and a short visit to Terelj. Enjoy! Thanks for stopping by today! …
The final rail journey of my March-April trip was from the glorious southern town of Galle back to the capital of Colombo. A distance of around 114 kilometres, there are several trains you can take a day from express trains to local commuter trains. So obviously the trains can vary muchly in time taken, from …
The final train journey in India for me this time round was the 611 kilometre, 11 hour journey from Rajasthan’s blue city Jodphur to the Indian capital, Delhi. I took the Salasar Super Fast, Train number 22422 in 1AC, a class I didn’t remember booking and one I had never taken before. This was the …
From the town in the desert to Rajasthan’s Blue City, this trip on Indian Railways was perhaps not as memorable as others I’ve taken. Why? Well, I was asleep about five minutes after we left, the scenery was mostly arid, and I’d already done this 301km segment of rail before. Mind you – I hadn’t …
Ahhh the Indian Train Journey! I am genuinely excited that I can properly recount a few journeys in India now. I took a number, all in relative comfort I should say, in my twelve days in India. This was the first major journey, nearly twelve hours across Rajasthan from the main Rajasthani city in Jaipur …
Welcome ye all to the last post of the trip. This time tomorrow I will be home in Melbourne and the last month will be but a memory. Thanks for sharing the memory with me! Saturday 7th of April 2018 Ahhhh this was a good day! We headed to Unawatuna, pretty much the next …
I woke in Kandy, I had a really nice hotel room there which was pretty good value for money. But it was only an overnight stop. I took a few photos in the morning before I left, including of the beautiful lake. I had a train to take to the station Verangoda, on the way …
23rd March 2018 So, the long journey into Delhi from Jodphur arrived on time. Delhi, my arch nemesis, a place that had knocked me over more than once. And here I was again. I arrived at Sarai Rohilla, not the main and usual station in Delhi, and had to negotiate an auto-rickshaw to the Paraganj, …
