The Flixbus service from Milan to Palermo, on the island of Sicily, is Italy’s longest domestic route at 22 hours. Naturally this had to be done. I was looking forward to the ferry from the ‘toe’ of Italy over to Sicily. It had all the trappings of a memorable adventure. As mentioned on the video… https://www.paisleydrinkscompany.com/

  1. Scott! If you get the chance, take the coach from London to De Panne, Belgium (Flix Bus) near the French border. Then take a ride along the coast of Belgium on the Coast Tram all the way to Knokke near the Dutch border. Very highly recommended! The tram costs just a few euros.

  2. Ah, Italians trying to impress….privacy and such crap..duh. He could stand on his head if i would get to argue with him. Sicily; once and never again (character you called it…correct) . No thanks.

  3. We have just completed a trip to Italy using the trains from London.
    Eurostar to Paris.
    De Lyon to Chambery
    Coach from Chambery to Turin (Flixbus)
    Overnight train from Turin to Naples.
    Naples to Rome.
    Rome to Bologna.
    Bologna to lake Como.
    Lake Como to Paris via Basel, Strasbourg.
    Would highly recommend the railway services.
    Great video and thoroughly enjoyed.

  4. I guess the driver felt harassed by you cause he was sniffing his daily dose of white powder. Some drivers need more than coffee to do their hard work.

  5. Catania has some pretty heavy roadworks at present. Im currently down on the south of the Island in Licata and i was in Catania last week. M25 has nothing on it at present!! Catania though is an amazing cosmo culture with some amazing architecture. And if you are ever down in the south of the island drop us a line! We can go sailing 😊. Agrigento (valley of the temples, truly amazing) brave man doing the bus ride. We did the train to Rome from Catania in May!! 8 hours a lot more comfortable. Keep up the great vids and thanks for sharing.

  7. I got asked by KLM to respect GDPR when i carried my gopro onboard.
    Even If artistic expression is protected then people If they get caught on you film then ask or say you will edit them out to calm their nerves.

    But yes I have met a powertrip FA on United In 2018 & i hope i never see her again.

  8. I saw the first part of your trip where you were complaining about the bus station in Paris, and I wondered why you didn't complain about the one in Milan. Now I understand that you didn't know it

  9. Isolate case. Milan is the most "European" city in Italy, cosmopolitan,…The driver was simply a common idiot like you can find in any city in the world…..
