Following what had felt like a longer travel day than most, probably not helped by the hour delay to my flight, I arrived in Košice later than planned and so my explorations of Slovakia’s second city started in earnest the following morning.

Having arrived at the City of Derry airport following a delayed but enjoyable flight with Loganair, I was looking forward to heading into the city to explore. Unfortunately, public transport connections are pretty non-existent with a bus every 2-3 hours which does not link up with flight times and would have departed six minutes before we landed if we’d been on time

The middle of April saw us returning to Scotland for my fifth visit of the year, although this time we were heading to spend a couple of nights at our favourite place. Caledonian Sleeper had taken us to Fort William and a ride back south on Scotrail brought us to our destination. This post is all about why we were Choosing Corrour Again!

Having arrived at the imposing station of Roma Termini onboard a Trenitalia Frecciarossa service from Bologna, my first task was to make my way to my hotel to regroup. Having arrived into Rome in the early evening I opted just to get some food and leave the exploring for the following day and so it was in the cooler morning air that I started to make my way across the Italian capital.

With the one full non-travel day having been spent exploring the city and country of San Marino, I had made sure that my train out of Rimini was late enough to give me a chance to explore the city before I had to head to the station. As such day 5 of (Not Quite) All the Small Things started with me heading away from Rimini’s station to the first of many Roman ruins, the Roman Amphitheatre.

Having arrived in Rimini onboard a Trenitalia Frecciarossa from Bologna, I had two nights and about one and a half days based on the Adriatic Coast. Whilst I wanted to spend some time exploring the city itself, the main purpose of my stay was to tick off another micro-nation, San Marino.
