I've got an odd request.

Does anyone have any idea how to get from Australia to the UK, without flying?

My in-laws are currently stuck on the east coast of Australia. One of them got very sick on a cruise. And long story short. They have been told they cannot fly ever again. It's too risky for what has happened, they're in the ICU - recovering, feeling better, but cannot fly ever again.

Hubs might have to go over there for a couple of months to help them out (his studio has a studio in the city they are in. This is the easy part).

They are looking at getting on another cruise ship, but the next one is in March, and if they miss that. They're stuck there even longer.

So, I am making a request to see if anyone knows if there is any other possible way to get them back to the UK without using planes.

The in-laws are in their late 70s, so there may be some limitations (they are obviously not going to be fit to help out on a catamaran or something).

Please share!

Hi Tooters - I'm looking for your experiences of different ways of spending during European travel.

I'm hoping to write a blog post on the advantages & disadvantages of - for example - cash, credit cards, currency cards, phone payments, travellers cheques, and anything else.
Is cash still king?

What do you take on your travels? Have you ever had a big problem with your choices? What would you recommend to others?

Post suggested through Debby@hear-me.social

Boosts welcome

got a #travelling #lifehack for you: if you are on a flight with a screaming baby or child, put in headphones and listen to Nine Inch Nails' Quake soundtrack; their screams will add a new layer of complexity to the instrumentation

The cacophony of Italian #trains especially in summer is close to unbearable. People who have a telephone conversation, especially senior ones , leave the loud speaker on so you can also hear what the person at the other side is saying. Younger people listen to any sort of short or video or music just with the full volume on. On top of that, the train itself keep producing messages and music. What the heck 😭

Of course I missed the earlier train I was supposed to catch because it takes an insane amount of time to get to Paris Gare de Lyon from Paris Gare du Nord 😡

Now on my way to #Nice

Although I've never been there and I'm not a fan of the cold, I've always had a particular fascination with the Scandinavian countries.
I'll probably have to fix that.
