Thank you Jo and my best wishes to you and your wife for the up coming happy event.

I’ll never get how ‘actual’ YouTubers cope, but it’s been lovely being accosted at stations, pubs, theatres, etc. My poor boss now often starts meetings with ‘Does anyone want to tell Jo they like his travel threads?’
Thanks for it all. It’s not the end, just a v v exciting break. #Schengen200

¡Allá! La Restinga (La Laja bus stop) on the island of El Hierro, the end of the longest point-to-point journey you can make in the Schengen Zone by surface public transport. 5650.2km from Vardø Havn. 192hrs 31 mins. Now excuse me while I go and find my room and shower and I’ll be back. #Schengen200

Jo as TS Eliot wrote
"What we call the beginning is often the end
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
The end is where we start from"
I think that sums it up. We have all travelled with you and loved every minute. Enjoy your next adventure!!

Monuments and tributes to those lost defending the strategic heights near town and the citadel here are everywhere. The sombre eyes of gigantic soldiers bore into the town. The tricolours everywhere a call to remember the glory and sacrifice of France… #Schengen200

We moved from Kuwait to Luxembourg in the mid-1980s, the phrase like chalk and cheese comes to mind.

Well some of us could have been saved the trauma and sadness if you had used a safety leash! Something worth thinking on!😭😢☹️

Misty motorways give way to misty minor roads as we weave around and over the fjärds of the High Coast. Not a typo - a fjärd is a flooded glacial depression, a fjord normally has cliffs and is more glacially carved (whisper it: quite a lot of Norwegian fjords are actually fjärds). #Schengen200

That’s good, because it means that for dessert course, I can continue my odyssey through Swedish confectionary that sounds very dodgy if you are English. #Schengen200

Arriving in Gällivare, junction for the Inlandsbanan, a sporadically open backwoods line south. The summer passenger service is some experience: it’s the only train I’ve taken which stops for some passengers to go skinny dipping in a wild river, and to visit a mosquito museum in a bog. #Schengen200

Do you get comments or odd looks when you unpack Mrs Turtle so that she can enjoy the view?

The diversion off the main road to serve Björkliden station (where no one departs and no one arrives) nets us a great view over the immense, 70km-long Torneträsk lake. RAF bombers heading to Tromsø to sink the ‘Tirpitz’ rendezvoused over the lake, a bit of a no-no given 🇸🇪 neutrality. #Schengen20
