Arriving into a very sunny Bucharest. Slightly behind schedule, but a great overnight trip. I've now got two nights in Romania before heading to Istanbul 🇹🇷

And I'm on my first sleeper train of the trip! Going from Vienna to Bucharest. I'm in a four-bed couchette, but am currently the only person in here. Im sure that won't be the case for long.

Spending the day in Vienna as I "wait" for my sleeper train from Austria to Romania.

Geneva to Vienna by train today, via a rather convoluted route through Zurich, Bregenz and Feldkirch. The cost of a cheaper ticket, I guess...

I have arrived in Switzerland! 🇨🇭 1.5 hours late into Geneva, but not too bad considering we had a pitstop at a tyre garage.

The impacts of current storms in Spain are very visible between Barcelona and Girona. Let's hope they aren't supercharged by climate change like in previous years.

Emergency text alert reading: Locally heavy rainfall in Valles Oriental and Maresme over the next 2 hours. Exercise extreme caution when travelling. Do not approach flood-prone areas. In case of emergency, call 172.

Last night was also my first train of the journey. High-speed from Madrid to Barcelona. Almost on time.

Two high-speed trains wait at a station while people board.

A nightmare of closed metros and over-capacity buses at Barcelona-Sants last night, but only one coach today all the way to Geneva 🇨🇭

First leg is Lisbon to Madrid. I'm taking trains for as many sections as possible, but the connection between Portugal and Spain via Badajoz is a nightmare, so I'm starting on a coach.

People with luggage wait to board a coach at Oriente station in Lisbon, Portugal.

The term "employment site" feels like it has been lifted from a developer's press release. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Google seems to be trying to make translations more nuanced/informational, but is instead introducing factual inaccuracies. This article was about the Polícia Judiciária (PJ) in Portugal. I wonder if it is happening with other language pairs.

A screenshot showing Portugese text translated to English, where "A PJ" has been translated as "The PJ (Brazilian Judicial Police)".

Some shops are as busy as ever. Aldi continues to operate in the dark.

The power is still out in Lisbon. Metro closed but fully evacuated according to station police. Large number of police, firefighters, etc., passing through Avenida.

Great visuals in the 2024 European State of the Climate report. Wild that pretty much all those big red blobs over Portugal were caused in just one week.
