Milano Centrale

Our second visit here. The first was the fateful night of the dishonourable hotel in Arona! I’m pleased to report that our second visit is MUCH less stressful. We arrived on time. Bought our seat reservations for €10 each (compulsory, even with our global pass InterRail ticket). And boarded our “FrecciaRossa” (Red Arrow) Italian Eurostar train bound for Florence. Which even left on time!!! A much swankier train this. Really nice inside – it even has air conditioning! We are travelling 307km

Good morning from Poschiavo

The view from bed this morning. Not bad really… Poschiavo will be swapped for Florence this evening.

Lake Como - Poschiavo

Good evening folks! Today was a lazy day to recover from our exertions after yesterdays Grand Prix! We covered only 150km and took 6 hours (yes, that is now my definition of a lazy day). We started with a walk from our hotel in Como to the Ferry terminal and waited in the sunshine, with some tasty Gelato! for our Hyrdofoil boat to arrive. Once it did, we were treated to a 2 hour boat ride along the entire length of the Lake. The views were stunning in all directions at all times - no part bett

You gotta respect dat altitude man

Lunch in Arth-Goldau, Switzerland as we await our 15:50 ICE to Milan in preparation for Sundays Grand Prix!! A late lunch as we’ve been awake since 5:30 this morning to get the first train up Jungfraujoch. Awesome until we got to the top where it was cloudy! The altitude didn’t agree with Alex, he went as white as a sheet and almost collapsed due to the 11,700ft worth of air thinness. We headed back down the mountain on the next train and at about 8,000ft colour was restored to his cheeks and

The Glacier Express

If you ever get chance to take the Glacier Express or anything along that route with the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn, do it. A sensationally beautiful route from start to finish.

Beautiful Yvoire

Made it to Yvoire! This is the view from our hotel bedroom of the sun setting across Lake Geneva. Disappearing off into the distance is the Ferry we just arrived on. It is just so beautiful. I’m sure you realise the picture hardly does it justice!!!
