…until finally the train reaches the 10.6km Arlberg Tunnel, completed in 1884. #Europe24
Out the other side, we’re descending rapidly. Most importantly, we’re now in the catchment of the Inn, which drains into the Black Sea by way of the Danube. On the eastern side we were in the Rhine/North Sea drainage basin. #Europe24
At the bottom of the steepest part of the descent is Landeck-Zams station. I’m resisting temptation to hop off here and get a bus over the Reschenpass to tick off Italy in a few hours. But even with 1 country now out of reach in original plan, think best to push east. #Europe24

I promised you an adventure!
What to do after #bus24, #train24? Well, you seemed to like little races round Europe, so just before 00:00 CET, I’m starting #Europe24, a challenge to see how many nations I can visit by public transport in 24hrs. Right now, I’m positioning myself…
First, I need to introduce understudy 🐢, Mrs Turtle, leant to me by my wife. If you followed #GoWest, you know Slow Travel Turtle disappeared somewhere in W Yorks. He’s regenerating, but for now Mrs Turtle is stepping in. The furthest she’s been before is Sainsburys. #Europe24
I also need to set out the #Europe24 rules.
✅ Start wherever I think is most efficient, at whatever time works best
✅ Passing straight through a country doesn’t count. I must arrive and leave on different vehicles (except 1st and last countries)
✅ Yes 🚄🚌🚃🚎🛳 No 🚗 🚕 ✈️
