Waving past the last train back to France in 🇩🇪 #Karlsruhe, my final journey became a taxi ride across the border to 🇫🇷 #Alsace.

DB does DB things. Good night everyone, safe travels home. #Braidria

Last mainline train today : the comfortable

InterCity 2 Bombardier Twindexx Vario push-pull unit will bring me to the French border in 🇩🇪 #Karlsruhe

! #Braidria

And of course : the mandatory @diningcar visit. Today's choice was the seasonal Thai Curry they offer onboard of ICE trains. Tasty, but can't compete with the Vegan Curry Sausage.

This said, enjoy your meals and safe travels dear Fedi ! #Braidria

Hello 🇩🇪 #München !

- Generations. Quick and dirty (it's raining) change from the

to a spacious

ICE 4 bringing me to 🇩🇪 #Stuttgart with a quick glance to the

Siemens Viaggio Next in service on the Italy links. #Braidria

After waiting for three hours, I finally got my breakfast from the

@diningcar . I chose the bulgur salad with a cup of black tea ; an excellent choice. It's tasty and fresh, definitely an awesome start into a long travel day. #Braidria

After a relaxing night, our #RetroIstra safely arrived in 🇭🇺 #Budapest on time.

Sadly it's already time for me to return home : my first train is the casual via 🇦🇹 #Wien to 🇩🇪 #München. Considering the comfortable and luxury business class, I might even survive the seven hours of daytime travels. #Braidria

Good night 🇸🇮 #Koper ! Using the

#RetroIstra night train from the #Adria coast to Hungary my @direkter_weg #MostDirectConnection home goes on by night in the direction of 🇭🇺 #Budapest. #TeamNightTrain #TeamOpenWindows #Braidria

We've reached our destination : arriving in 🇸🇮 #Koper, we took the first opportunity for a relaxed swim in the comfortably warm #Adria sea with sight on giant container vessels.

Koper is a beautiful town. It impresses with playful Italian architecture, a nice sea flaire and relaxing beaches. Tested for you : the ice cream here is no bit worse than on the Italian side of the border 🍦. #Braidria
