40 years working on the railway and a lifetime travelling overland. Recently completed a no-fly challenge of travelling from my home in Belper, United Kingdom to Bali, Indonesia. Check it out at www.polarsteps.com/ShaunTreece/7559902-belper-to-bali
Should've given us a wave as you whooshed through Belper. We have two (count both of them) mainline services from Sheffield which stop in Belper 😂

Winter in SEA? You're nothing if not predictable. We've got a few weeks; Singapore, Malaysia, Sumatra and Bangkok. Who needs dry January in the UK.

One of the best. Two years ago we did this and we had so many roommates we lost count! We did it in two halves and then again in one go. One 20 hour trip was 10 hours late and Mrs T described it as 50% extra free! I'd go back in a heartbeat. Vietnam is an amazing country.

Loving the South American reports. Maybe 2028 🤔 September seems like a good time to visit.

Hmmm. Mildly annoying, we're planning that route on Friday 26/09 when the day train has ceased for the winter. The best option appears to be a daytime train to from Bar to Bijelo and then pick up the sleeper late evening. Unless anyone knows better?

It'll be interesting to see a comparison of Brasilian travel costs against Europe, Asia, Central America please. This is what us "mortals" base our travel choices on 😉 🙏🏻
