It is said that getting there is half the fun … or at least it used to be before the advent of budget airlines. I’ve flown many an airline…
…but when time is not of the essence, I will always opt for a slower form of transport, to enjoy more of the ‘getting there’ … like travelling across the US on the Lake Shore Limited and the Empire Builder …
… or boating across Lake Atitlan …
… or even hitching a ride on horseback up Volcan de Pacaya.
Then there’s always the car…
… and the trusty bicycle …
… but for the ultimate in eco-friendly transportation options, I prefer these.
Hopefully this week’s theme will steer your train of thought towards some of your own transport photos and drive you to create your own post. If you would like to join in (everyone’s welcome!) here’s what to do:
- Create your own post and title it Travel theme: Transport
- Include a link to this page in your post so others can find it too
- Get your post in by next Thursday, as the new travel theme comes out on Friday

Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home! – Charles Dickens
Evolution can go to hell as far as I am concerned. What a mistake we are. We have mortally wounded this sweet life-supporting planet – the only one in the whole Milky Way – with a century of transportation whoopee. – Kurt Vonnegut
Where's my backpack? 
A brilliant take on transport!
I love all those options you’ve shown 🙂

Love it, Cristina, especially the trains 🙂
Thank you! We love trains!!!
Nice theme. The vintage cars are very attractive.
Those cars were amazing, Sayanti, I love the detail that went into those vintage cars, so much prettier than the cookie cutter things on the road today.
Really, those were more elegant than the modern cars. It is indeed a rare collection.
A great choice, indeed!
Thanks! 🙂

Each photo is special, Ailsa. The horses are my favorite, of course haha, but I also like the boots, the boat, and… the bicycles!
Take a look at this: https://figmentsofadutchess.com/2016/09/10/travel-theme-transport/. Does it seem familiar? 😉
