As this is a terminus we can head back down on the return journey. That isn't for 35 minutes so we take in the mountain air and the views. Refreshed we board the Snaefell Mountain Railway tram and depart at 1930 returning to Laxey arriving 2000 on Saturday night. Source: gov.im

Genuine horse power, think that's new for us. So from Steam to horse to electric tram. By my reckoning the summit of Snaefell is still possible using the August Saturday timetable (tables D&G). From the terminus at Derby Castle in Douglas we join the 1740 tram operated by the Manx Electric...

Bumping up

Unable to decide whether to travel North or South on this line we wait for the first train. This is heading South and leaves at 1500 and we travel on something of a rarity despite all our travelling - a narrow gauge railway - a first? First or not this IOM Steam Railway service takes us to...

That would appear to be all for Thursday. Don't have to wait too long into Friday for onward travel. At 0345 an ÖBB train number REX 1952 has us on our way. We arrive nice and early in the Austrian capital at 0536. Our location is Wien Hbf / Vienna Central and the day is now Friday...

A little bump up me thinks.

After admiring city we take our leave aboard... ÖBB train number R 4436 on what is a regional international service. As the train operator will have already given away we are heading for Austria. We leave the Slovenian capital at 1050 and having just crossed the border we alight at Spielfeld...

Thanks for the link to buscroatia, got an earlier departure that doesn't show up on Google Maps. This is the 0100 departure by what looks like Croatia bus-Globtour-Salinea-Jadran ekspres. The bus route is 684 and we are bound for the capital. We arrive at Zagreb autobusni kolodvor at 0345 on...

Walking whilst admiring the seaviews and the beach we find ourselves 400m later at the similarly named bus stop. Simply known as Portorož, Portorož. Here we can get long distance coach services operated by Flixbus. The Flixbus (Operated on behalf by CEE South) coach on route number 943 leaves...

Hello Slovenia. A first in our travels? We have fifty minutes till the next departure and seeing as only have to walk 220m, the time is passed by leaping back and forth over the border yelling "Italy!, Slovenia!, Italy!, Slovenia!..." Reluctantly we have to stop as our bus has arrived. So...

Taking the chance to explore this little border village we walk 650m to the bus stop named Strada per Bagnoli 263 (Centro Sportivo). Having popped into the supermarket across from the stop for some lunch we eat al fresco in the Italian sunshine and await our onward transport. It arrives in the...

Luckily for us the railway station is exactly 1 km away. From here we can reach one of Italy's extremities - Trieste. To do so requires travel abroad Trentitalia's RV 2205 which departs 0817 and reaches this large port on the other side of the Adriatic at 0946. We have arrived at Trieste...

We walk to the bus station (Punta Sabbioni) and having our pick if the benches, we get a little shut eye. We are woken by an arriving bus. As good an alarm clock as any. The alarm clock will take us onwards. It does so at 0550 and is the AVTO 23a service to Lido di Jesolo - Autostazione...

Not long to wait and then we head to the heart of the city. We do this by taking an ACTV number 2 which leaves at 2100 exactly and we take until we alight at Rialto 'C' the time now is 2140 on Tuesday night. Source: Google Maps
