Today’s borders & background
New borders crossed today:
Nea Vyssa 🇬🇷 – Karaagaç 🇹🇷
Marasia 🇬🇷 – Karaagaç 🇹🇷
A bus out of Istanbul first. Then the legendary Optima Express – Turkey-Bulgaria-Serbia-Croatia-Slovenia-Austria, with at least 6 different locomotives, 6 carriages and 6 car transport wagons. This train is not cheap to take, and as I could not fit it into my South East Europe trip in 2024, it’s a question of better late than never!
Today’s music track
Runaway Train
Soul Asylum
Again the title of the track appeals. And this is a genuinely good song!
