A large part of the day has been spent in front of db.de - a wealth of trainy goodness. It looks like a couple of mega-trips are on the cards. First it’s off to the overtly exotic South of France via Cologne (food, coffee, wine, wedding,  Swede of fine build, mustard, Frenchy and most probably mosquitoes) with the great iron road.  Then a short recovery period in the Swedish utopia before jetting off on an equally long flying adventure. Not with a whirlwind, red shoes, small dog called Toto and my whole house, but with the trusty Karrimor and a higher dose of mosquito repellent. It’s off to Mexico! Sister Giles, here I come!
