All Voyagered out in The West Country. Quick hop and then a skip, jump and we'll be at Undisclosed Sekrit Location X.

Sadly, Barry was not able to do this trip so he's on Home Security and cat cuddling duties

One big, shorky adventure.

Now to plan the next one!
#AmTravelling

OK. Back on Cursed Island. We're at about 20hrs of wakefulness since our wake up, breakfast and leaving our hotel.
So, we've been on the go all day and it's starting to catch up as we Uber the last leg.
#AmTravelling

Arrived at Milan Malpenza, by surprise extra bonus train! (We expected bus transfer).

Total distance getting railed on this tour comes to 1,130 miles 😋

Am I train nerded out? No.
Do I need a rest, yes!

Just got a flight & then a last jump home.
Back to work tomorrow with a whole heap of memories, photos and stories.
We'll pull together the best photos and I'll upload some video sometime soon (when we're not ded & had time to review/process it all).

#AmTravelling

Ok. Milan Centrale.
Even more *everything* than I expected but also too tired and easily overwhelmed to actually want to stay, fight the crowds and get the photos. I did get a few tho.

There'll be a next time, and I'll plan for spoons and time to do this properly...
#AmTravelling

This is the trip I've been cursed to go backwards.. pretty much every train I've had facing backwards with the exception of Bernina.
Oh well....
#AmTravelling

New Train Operating Company has entered the game.... New challenger... Trenord!
#AmTravelling

Setting up for the last train of this trip - Tirano to Milan. Kinda sad, but excited for the chance to see the cathedral that is Milan Centrale
#AmTravelling

It feels like a revelation, but really it's not.
But public transport here Just Works.
Regular, frequent, reliable bus service, trains when they say.
I'm impressed
#AmTravelling

Good morning folks. So, it's the last day of this adventure. So I'm a bit sad, as I wake up to a bubbling river, blue skies and gorgeous mountains.
Tomorrow, I wake up and it's notloB.

But first, we gotta get home. And that's going to involve a ride on the UNESCO World Heritage railway - the Berninalinie.
Getting much more altitude at Ospizio Bernina 2,253 meters (7,392 feet) above sea level. So, literally the high point of the trip.
And then on to Milan & fly home
#AmTravelling

If I said I had some video from this spot, would folks want to see it?
#AmTravelling

From our room balcony. The river bubbles and gurgles just a meter or two in front. Behind, the main road into town. In the background, a snow flecked mountain of greys, brown & green, above a blue sky with white clouds passing overhead

And the view across town... The stream of running water sounds so relaxing!
#AmTravelling

View above and over the town of Sils. A small road on the left cuts through the town, buildings either side in very alpine style (pointed roofs etc) and to the right, a bubbling, clear stream winds through the town. In the background, a snow capped peak

Oh. Yeah. I even got to touch snow today... We're about at that height. And tomorrow, we go higher before eventually heading home
#AmTravelling

The travelling day ends at 79 miles (62miles on the rails, the reminder by bus) in Sils.
Being out of season, the hotel is quiet so I'm taking the opportunity to just stop and rest in the panorama lounge on the top floor.
The views to my left and right..
#AmTravelling

In my left, a view over the edge of town, over a flat, grassland before a big lake. Behind and to the right are mountains with the background mountain being quite well snowed on.

To my right, also out of town more flat grassland, mostly obscured by houses before another lake and mountains on the right side not as big or dramatic, somewhat snow covered

Ok, it's one thing to see this on YouTube, but actually being here... Wow!
#AmTravelling

A Rhaetian railway train in red, snaking around a curve in front of us, a field of green and yellow to the right and in the distance, snow topped mountain peeks.
Sadly, a slight window glare

A small town, nestled in the mountains, lots of white and brown alpine style buildings, clustered around a yellowy/white church tower

Passports stamped, souvenirs got. Onward! (And upwards...)
#AmTravelling

Good morning peoples! Today we head towards the high Alps, starting here in Vaduz at 455m above sea level, we're gonna gain altitude as we end up at 1,809m when we reach our end goal of Sils. I'm running out of storage space says Google but we'll see how snap-happy I get...
#AmTravelling

118 miles on the rails today has seen us from magical Basel through a surprisingly relaxing Zug, Zurich HB (Train Nerd paradise!) and to such a chill, amazing place as Vaduz.
I also got my steps in (3miles) exploring and just trying to take in this place. It really is so chill and unique. Definitely somewhere I want to keep memories of.

I, absolutely, recommend that you should come and see this lovely corner of Europe.

Tomorrow, the journey continues...

#AmTravelling

When snow tipped peaks literally rise up out of the ground before you - a short 15min walk to the edge of Vaduz.
It's quiet, chilled and thankfully, cooling down...
