Hello!
So, if you recall, my last proper episode was all about my Inter-Rail trip in 2000, and how times and events had changed. I want to spend this episode talking a bit about my follow-up Inter-Rail trip in 2019, which was very different in scope, duration, and overall vibe. It's actually going to cover two podcasts as it appears travelling around Europe for two months means there's a lot to say, plus it gives more time for some contributions to come in.
This episode looks at some of the places I went to, with themes such as border crossings, old places, small countries, and seaside adventures.
Topics discussed in this episode are:
* How I'm still injured from Parkrun
* ADHD Update
* Websites I have contributed to recently
* Other people's 1980s Inter-Rail adventures
* My odd 2019 routing
* Crossing borders past and present
* European Microstates I have visited and been indifferent to
* A couple of sporting events
* Wearing shoes at the end of the universe
* Channeling my inner Asterix
* Lots of Romans and post-Romans
* Very wet seaside adventures. And dragons
* Sun, sea, sand, and (not) snogging
Contributions in this episode came from:
* Alison in Andalucia
* Matthew Woodward - On The Rails
Links to the other websites I mentioned at the start of the
pod:
* Caledonia Kelly Interview
* Happy Little Traveler
A PDF transcript of this episode is available.
As always, if you have anything to say about the topic, or indeed about my podcasting in general, leave a comment or let me know. I have a newsletter with extra content, and where I'll be mentioning future podcast episodes if you want to make your own contribution.
I also have a Patreon - if you like what you hear, and want to access exclusive content (or just to show your appreciation), then head on over.
Until next time, bye for now. :)
