This photo was taken in Thessaloniki, Greece in 2006. We had arrived there on the overnight train from Konstantinopoli (Istanbul), the first such journey since my inter-rail days of the late ’80s & early ’90s.
From then on until 2014, travels in the region, primarily by train, became a regularity, inspiring me to write On The Beaten Track, which was published this Summer.
I’ve asked Santa for your book for Xmas so am looking forward to reading about your adventures…
