Twingomania, day three: Utrecht Spoorwegmuseum!

On day three of my trip to #Utrecht, I went to the #Spoorwegmuseum and, inevitably, had beer. https://www.siegeavecvue.eu/twingomania-day-three-utrecht/

Twingomania, day two: Utrecht In which I find God in a library and the King’s Bollocks in a bar.

I've never seen a more beautiful Post Office. #Utrecht, day two - a few days late. #Travel #PTT

Twingomania, day one: Bordeaux - Utrecht My descent into super-mini madness

Apparently, #travel should have a purpose, so I decided to travel on the #train to buy a car (unsuccessfully, so far).

1,200km, one feral child, a Hilfiker clock sighting, street art in Antwerp, and a #Flixbus.

Hello also from Utrecht 👋

I feel harmed every time I go through it.

Snow on the distant peaks of the Vercors.

How dreadful is it?

The Tour Montparnasse serves two purposes: it distracts from the hideousness of the station, and it provides a place where you can't see the Tour Montparnasse.

This is why people don't have enough money for headphones.

I, for one, am entirely comfortable that I'm travelling through a Yellow weather alert for rain on a train line that I hope to return by tonight, which appears to be less than 2m above a saturated floodplain

Winterrail: doing the sums Financially responsible rail hedonism, with receipts.

Here's the long-threatened "doing the sums" post from my recent #Interrail adventure.

I apologise if it inadvertently contains useful #travel advice.

There is no more, you'll be pleased to know -- apart from the "sums" post which I'll do later. #Travel home from #Donostia on the #train. https://www.siegeavecvue.eu/going-home-donostia-perigueux/

Córdoba, day four: Mezquita-Catedral Bonus smells and bells, and the world's worst boy band.

I visited the #Mezquita-Catedral and survived Mass in Spanish.
