I've travelled across Europe - from Melksham to Svolvaer - mostly by train, but in some places trains have not been available and I've taken to other forms of transport. This will - I suspect be a hard set of "where is this" questions and exceptionally I'm going to invite members to identify as may as they can straight away. You folks often impress me - I suspect I may find a some answers coming up quiet fast, but some will "stick"

4 Santorini. It's a very long climb up the stepped path from the quay to the town. On a darker note, I have read of concerns for the welfare of the donkeys.

Yes, and I have read those concerns too. I don't know enough from seeing them on one day, but I did wonder about waiting around in the sun and heat and then climbing with some of those not-insignificant people on my back. There is now a more modern way to climb too

I so felt that Balti jaam should be an Indiaan dish.

Yes - the train service from Leer to Groningen is suspended. On 3 December 2015, the bridge over the Ems was destroyed by a ship colliding with it. Due back after 5 years, then in 2024, most recent estimate was this year. It's the only international rail link between Germany and the Netherlands to the north of the main line east from Amsterdam via Osnabroek

Something to be eaten with your Nan, perhaps?
