I'm still here...

Hello

Here is my blog - I will hopefully be filling your screens with delightful anecdotes and photographs of my wild antics and all sorts after I set sail/train tomorrow - this is just the boring bit to see if it all works.

My itinerary traces my rail map of Europe's most scenic routes (they're highlighted in green you see) along the South coast of France, North coast of Italy and through Italian and Swiss Alps through to my summer resort of choice in Budapest for two weeks of Hungarian study. I'll return via Munich and the delightful night train to Paris.

I'm now packed and have done pretty well in not overloading myself - it will mean extra work in terms of hand washing stuff but that's something I am prepared to endure in the interests of non-back-breaking backpack haulage.

Anyway I won't go on because it's sort of boring when I've not even left my bedroom...

It'll get much more interesting after a glass or two of Italian red or Hungarian plum brandy, you'll see!

Adieu!
