I rather like this story, but can't think of anything to say about it (apart from wondering what fines must have accrued). It could have been war - they've been fought over less in South America - but no, it was resolved in the best possible way, if a little tardily.
Another good news story - the Bishop of London has completed his year of no flights, thus becoming one of the very few high-profile climate change believers actually prepared to modify their behaviour in accordance with their professed beliefs. Though admittedly he left himself with little choice, having declared unnecessary flights and gas-guzzling cars 'sinful'... Highlight of his non-flying year was a rail trip to Transylvania. I envy him that.

A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
Do you think he went tourist class to Transylvania, or snuck aboard the Orient Express when he thought no one was looking?
ReplyDeleteI think he did it the hard way, Randy - took him 36 hours, but he was v impressed with the German railways.
