* Enjoy seeing where The Coddiwomple Express has travelled by using this interactive map. It works best by using the map in full-screen mode which you can do by clicking on the square in the top right corner. There are a lot of pins because I have visited a lot of places but look for the special green pins as they will have a story that you link to. Happy travels!
