I have several memorable train journeys (also my favourite way to travel!) of which the most memorable is probably Glasgow to Fort William (and back) in 2019. stunning autumnal highland landscapes the whole way. on the same trip I did a steam train ("hogwarts express") trip from Fort William to Mallaig and back, which was very fun and a beautiful trip but the train itself was very uncomfortable so now that I've done that, another time going to Mallaig I'm taking the normal train. :D
I went to Cardiff the other week and spotted the Uffington White Horse from the train on the way there, that was also utterly delightful :)
I have gone by car from Oslo to Bergen (in 1998) on a family trip and I remember it very well, it was during the summer and the scenery was wonderful. at times I was very annoyed there were so many trees because often I couldn't see the scenery for the trees!! it was very 'ten year old child who grew up on iceland and has seen 5 trees in their life is now annoyed they can't see the mountains for trees', lol.
all my ferry trips have been memorable for the simple reason that I've been seasick on every single one of them. I hate travelling by ferry - it often is very convenient and a cheaper alternative to flying, and I do like being outside on the deck and watching the sea and whatever landscape passes by, but all the rest of it is awful. given how seasick I get I don't make the choice to travel by ferry lightly when I do make it. (and I'm actively looking into ferry connections to Europe atm for going home for Christmas because I don't want to fly but I also don't want to pay an arm and a leg for the Eurostar when it's neither cheaper nor more convenient than flying; I still have to turn up early and go through security and once I add that time on the journey time, I've taken the same bloody time getting to Amsterdam as it would flying, but it cost more. so might as well do the slower but cheaper thing with the ferry. if only there were decent ferry connections...still mourning the Harwich-Esbjerg route, and it's been dead ten years.)
