RainComeShine: I must be lucky. Buses every ten mins and a small railways station I can walk to on the edge of town.
Still got the car though!
It is handy to have a good public transport system. I work in the middle of nowhere and just need a car for that and to get out and about in the evenings.

I only have to go over a bridge (it's an amazing walk) to go out of my home country.
I have sailed to continental Europe a number of times. I enjoyed that, even on rough(ish) crossings. In fact a rough crossing is less sickening that when a boat is quietly yawing from side to side, I find.

Haha yes I like boats too ,,ships ,
Yes I enjoyed going to France by ship ,,except when we had a bunk on the bottom and felt every wave we crossed ,
My stepdad deep sea man most of his life ,,I'm more a up in the air person ,lol,
Love swimming tho so if I had to jump I'd be okay ,
I depend on a bicycle because cars are too complex and costly both in money and time. Much of the time involves repairs, which mine continues to need. It needs more than I can keep up with.
I recall how much fun I had on my small motorcycles and the Yamahopper scooter I last had many years ago.
peachmelba: Ah I'm off to read a book now ,Travel brochure .Haha,
Thinking of hols now anywhere on a train even.
Love trains too,Orient express or next town,lol,
Orient Express.
This reminded me of an incident where my ex husband had invited his best customers ie a husband and wife to dine with us at a restaurant made up of the carriages from the Starlight Express.
We were happily getting along when it was suddenly raided by police who each blocked the individual compartments whilst they searched everyone and asked weird questions.
I was so excited and it really made my evening and we were all given a free bottle of wine for the inconvenience but the said customers were not at all impressed.
Does anyone remember hitching, its probabaly not safe anymore, but when i was 18 i used to hitch all over ireland and then when i was 20 i hitched to corfu island off greece, criss crossing europe for three months, it was great. years later i ended up seeing alot of europe in a truck, you dont get to see alot of the sites but did get to see the odd few strange places.... did that on and off for ten years... dont recomend trucking for relantionships though...
RainComeShine: I think mine would have to be train. What better way to see our beautiful country.
I hate wasting time and there are still things I can do whilst travelling by rail.
It's a shame we don't have those cute little compartments anymore. They were even more fun.
You would love the train ride through the Canadian Rockies! It is beautiful especial the glass-domed dinning car - the view of the mountains - magnificent!!!!!!

Yes i remember hitch hiking. I've never done it but came close to it when, age 17, my moped broke down. Loads of vehicles passed me by then a small truck stopped with a man who'd lost one of his legs. He threw my bike onto the back of his truck and dropped me right to my door. I lived way out in the sticks and I regularly remember his kindness.
