This week I get a break from the tropics to enjoy a week of springtime in Europe. I jetted out of Dar es Salaam on Friday nights (only two hours delayed - due to a sick pilot and lack of replacement pilots on short notice) and arrived in Geneva on Saturday morning.
From Geneva, I caught a train, or rather four trains, to Turin, Italy. It's a mere 246-ish kilometers and should be doable in about 3 hours by road. But by train the route was some 464 kilometers and took 6 hours and 45 minutes.
So instead of doing this:

I did this (more or less just via the train tracks):

But to arrive a day before the training and catch up with a family friend I hadn't seen since 1996 (we think), it was all worth it.
And I got some sweet views of the Alps along the way.
