Two of the most beautiful cities, mixing Swiss efficiency with relaxed, Italian charm.
Can also do (long) day trips to Aosta and Mont Blanc
So Mrs. Zygotic has agreed to my idea of spending a week travelling the āBelgian Triangleā of Brussels, Antwerp, Bruges and Ghent by train. What a wonderful woman she is. Canāt wait. Havenāt been on Eurostar in yeeears!
bugger - we missed out on the deal because I couldnāt buy a ticket with my passport number, and my passport was off being renewed
Flying to Paris in mid-May, first flight in nearly ten years and of course itās hit just as thereās an oil crisis ![]()
Would anyone care to make me feel less anxious about my flights being cancelled somehow? Already eyeing up some eyewateringly expensive (but fully refundable) Eurostar Premier ticketsā¦
Last I heard is the UK is buying jet fuel off the US (otherwise we would be running out by may)
Also standard Eurostar tickets are non refundable but transferable without a fee (but plus any price difference in new ticket), idk if thatās an option
Lucerneā¦..nice.
If you get a chance you must go on a river boat cruise. Stunning region.
Scratch this plan. You see how it goes through the Alps? Turns it does exactly that - the worlds longest rail tunnel apparently. If we want a holiday seeing the mountains, this isnāt the way to do it.
Lookās like Churās back on the menu.
Really canāt be arsed with this EES stuff maaaaan
Looking at interrail map/journeys, looks like would be fairly easy to do a similar route avoiding the tunnel. Thereās a regional train from Zug to Bellinzona (which connects to Milan) that doesnāt go through it. Probably cheaper to as wonāt need to book seats
This is the plan now that the 15% offer has finished, that we figure out a route using the interrail site, but look to see if itās cheaper to book individual tickets
Meant to add I would go to Chur though is a lovely small city. Train from there to Arosa was probably one of my favourite trips too.
