…and all in time for my Mum and Dad’s wedding anniversary party.
did you intentionally travel on the naked (nackt) train!?
extremely impressed! and an amazing price for london to belfast!
Hehe, it would have been an unfortunate if I took one of those! I have repaired my post to read Nacht Zug.
Rail and Sail tickets are ridiculously cheap, just be prepared to share the ferry terminal with a number of drunks (if travelling at ridiculous o’clock).
wired that you would be traveling to a location so close to someone with the same name, it freaked me out a little.
I hitchhiked once from Belfast to Berlin! Took me about the same time.
