Breakfast is ordered and tell Indian waiter it’s room 4 and only 1 person. He goes to kitchen and overhear chef say, “It’s impossible! That’s for two.

Regular readers of the blog will know that I have been to the very first Starbucks coffee shop in Pike Place in Seattle.

					<description><![CDATA[30-Apr-25 Overnight sleeper train Utterly dreadful night’s sleep. What sleep I had. Completely shattered which even a few brews can’t rectify. Suspect yesterday’s exertions in the heat and being dehydrated are to blame. So a leisurely stroll through the back streets of Budapest to the central market hall. Ornate exterior reminds of St Pancras station. [&#8230;]]]></description>

Delays on the line. Excellent views enroute. Green fields shimmering in the midday sun contrasting with a deep blue sky. Taxi at Budapest station. Ask how much. [&#8230;]]]></description>

My 55th birthday. Yikes. Closer to 60 than 50 now. Where did the past five years go. Oh. And am now retired. [&#8230;]]]></description>

The other main town in the area is Tivat. Much more upmarket than Kotor. And cleaner. And newer. With a lot of new development going off. Many shiny expensive boats in the [&#8230;]]]></description>

Along twisty roads and amazing mountainous scenery. Only become aware of the increase in altitude when the car’s outside temperature drops from 15C to 2C. And start seeing snow stuck by the roadside.
