Carcassonne No Cees you don t have to change trains and not like entering Russia they change the wheels.I think its the wheel system that is adjustable by going very slowly over a part of special rail and slowly slowly the wheels adjust to the european size of the track
They only need a few trains with this system, the ones who cross border regurarly
Dear Bert,
What a real experience you had : how france people, organisations acting!
I am almost daily in the circumstances to see, feel how business, administration and you name are going. And always wondering that such a "developed" country is acting the way it does.
English come on that's what young people are learning on school. And well that's all there is. Exercise outside school?Now way!
But what a nice country it is on the other hand.
Take care Cees
Hai Bert,
Thanks for your reaction. Nice to read your daily experiences.
Know the area Narbonne Carcasonne, have been there a lot if times in my "former" live passing by.
Must be a very special occasion for you to visit Carcasonne.
Is not the Spanish raiway of a wider size as the rest of Europe? And if so you always have to change into other railway coaches if on an international track?
Take care,
Cees
Thats different cook Hai Bert,
What an enormous quantity they have in stock. Has sherry also to be "aged" for brandy it's sure. Did you get some samples' to taste. And are there some really old spirit's on stock.

Take care and have a nice trip again.

whau Hai Bert,
Nice to see your schedule. It's very impressive. Although you are a very experienced traveller this is noty really a piece of cake.
Whats your rough estimate in time.
Very sunny in the Auvergne, Dana has hollidays so we have in mind to plan a trip to the south of Spain. But you never know what , in the end, our real destination is.
Take care,
Cees
It's in the eye of the beholder? Dear Bert, you know "shit" happens. And about the veal it was just a cow and the cook called him calf because it was mentioned on the menu!
Are you visiting your "old"
Dear Bert. You know "shit" happens. And the very old cow transformed in a calf was a special trick of the cook, because vael was said on the menu!
Are you visiting your old sherry supplier?
Have a nice time and take care.

hoi neef Hoi Bert, gaaf zeg wat jij allemaal doet per trein. Zo heb je al enorm veel van de wereld gezien. Ik wens je een hele goede reis en als je het leuk vindt: Mijn dochter Frederike is voor 3 maanden naar Indonesie geweest om stage te lopen in een ziekenhuis in Surabaya. Ze heeft een weblog bijgehouden en dat kun je lezen op frederikewilschut.waarbenjij.nu
Nogmaals goede treinreis.....
