I have never taken a long train journey in Europe. I have done so on the Indian sub-continent many years ago, which was certainly an adventure. And so, in the best tradition of railway travel and thinking of Paul Theroux and The Great Railway Bazar, I have started planning.
This blog will document my wonderings, by train, through Europe and ultimatly, on the first stage, to Sicily. I envision departing London and travelling through Europe and passing through the Alps and down into Italy, ending up in Sicily. I shall stop for a day or two at interesting cities enroute, but this section of my wonderings will be more about the journey than the cities.
I will document my nomadic travels with photographs and commentary in chapters as I progress thereby enabling my friends and family to track my travels. I am looking for an App that will enable me to insert a map that will show the progress on a map. So far I have only been able to manually put my position on Facebook using a navigation app named MotionX GPS HD.
Departing from St. Pancras station in London and across the English Channel [what to the French call it?] for points east.
