How does the brain work? Someday, we'll figure it out.

Eurostar London-Paris

TGV Lyria Paris-Zürich

EuroNight Zürich-Zagreb

HZPP IC Zagreb-Split

But having done all of those... damn it's painful

Thank you, taking note!

Zurich-Zagreb doesn't seem that far that a night train would do much good time-wise; likely spends hours stopped somewhere in the middle of the night.

When in the year do you want to attempt this? There might be other summertime sleeper trains that do a better job.

I am missing a "hipmunk" website (a now defunct air travel website) that aggregates all train operators across all countries and lists all options by time and price.

If so then... you might need some patience. It is not yet a solid service, and the chances of delays or partial cancellation are quite high. Definitely leave a couple of hours spare after its scheduled arrival.

I am looking for a way to go from London to Split, Croatia in about 1 day by train, and the Venice sleeper train holds so much promise, perhaps by changing trains in Innsbruck rather than going all the way to Venice.

Hi nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqy98u6vcmvnxz0vt0z6d37827zxwzt7zy3dxzxr60x9sd9awh62mq3vc5n8 do you have any advice on the London-Berlin day train and London-Venice sleeper train routes? How reliable are they? Are they well-established European infrastructure we can rely on, or are they still at the holiday adventure stage? Thank you.

Only in Croatia. At the butchers (!), of all places. A box of frozen frosted doughnuts on top of a box of frozen fish and next to bags of frozen shrimp. Hats off.

Sea hollies are beautiful plants, and well loved by bumblebees and other native bees, as well as butterflies and beetles, and even unusual flies such as some tachinids.

Here, a paler, more silvery sea holly native of the #Pyrenees: Eryngium bourgatii, that goes by the local name of Panical Blau https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/127059485 Loses most of its blue tones upon drying out.

“Broecker … often described Earth’s climate system as an angry beast that humans are poking with sticks. And one of his most famous papers was titled “Climatic change: Are we on the brink of a pronounced global warming?””

“It was published in 1975.”
