What a truly magnificent contraption the postman of Villeneuve has. #FinalProblem2024

And given that, there’s one more place we need to visit before we can sign off… #FinalProblem2024

Don’t pollute the sea with your gitanes, paella and general garlicky muck. #FinalProblem2024

Can’t believe I managed to fit so many forms of transport into retelling #FinalProblem2024, yet somehow missed this quintessentially Sherlockian form of travel. Apologies.

Tomorrow, we start a new Traveling Turtle adventure. We’re going long-form and literary. In April 1891, the most famous fictional Londoner set off on what his creator hoped to be his final journey, to an appointment with nemesis at Reichenbach. We’re following his footsteps. #FinalProblem2024

Just paddling along. #FinalProblem2024

That’s only the second most magnificent Swiss postal vehicle, of course. #FinalProblem2024

A lake ferry with a postbox. Obviously. #FinalProblem2024

Or most likely, the poor guy probably just wanted some frites and a Trappist beer. #FinalProblem2024

I thought it lasted a bit longer than that, to be honest. #FinalProblem2024

There’s quite a good view while waiting to be served at the bar. #FinalProblem2024

However, on another baking hot day, we would both like to thank the Ville de Strasbourg for this innovation. #FinalProblem2024

The fire escape arrangements from our hotel last night (15th century wooden chalet style-thing) are an abseil kit. Tempted to borrow it for later waterfall visit. #FinalProblem2024

Already the doors had all been shut and the whistle blown, when --
"My dear Watson," said a voice, "you have not even condescended to say good-morning."

I thought we weren’t doing dressing up.

Apparently we are doing dressing up.

Slicing our way up the Brienzersee in the late afternoon sunshine. #FinalProblem2024

Well, there’s an appropriately named unit for the 12:23 to St Pancras. Any relation, Dame Kelly? #FinalProblem2024

Very pleasant bus route, the 164. #FinalProblem2024

It is just possible we are in Switzerland. (Kandersteg, to be precise.) #FinalProblem2024

And we will leave Holmes where we left him, at Reichenbach. As Conan Doyle put it: ‘I thought if a man wanted to meet a gaudy kind of death that was a fine romantic place for it.’
The thread ends here. Thanks so much for coming along!
Video in due course. #FinalProblem2024

Surely if you were going to have a pub of this name on the corner of Baker Street, you’d rename it The Engineer’s Thumb? #FinalProblem2024
August 27, 2024 at 3:20 PM
Coo? Oh come on, you are just making up place names now. Apparently, this is where to come in Belgium to go bobsleighing. Why are we even bothering to go to Switzerland? #FinalProblem2024

The other way you can tell this is a French ship is this large map of the London-Paris cycle route. Attractions demarked on the French side include Giverny, the Isle of the Impressionists, chateaux, Neufchâtel cheese. On the English side: Crawley. #FinalProblem2024

…and that is - as Holmes of course did - to return to 221B Baker Street, truly lovingly recreated in the basement of the old English Church in Meiringen. #Finalproblem2024
