MAGA FAFO

The NightJet 420 has officially stranded in Hannover and we are told to take an ICE train to Amsterdam that's also delayed.

We're officially stranded in Hannover and are told to take the ICE train to Amsterdam that's also delayed.

Our NightJet 420 has made it to.. Hannover apparently. And the electronics are acting up. I think. It's too early for this shit. I just woke up. I guess we won't be in Amsterdam in 2.5 hours. youtube.com/shorts/3Trw9...

More seemless travel by the EU as we enter a Germany from Austria on the NightJet sleeper train from Innsbruck to Amsterdam. And Hamburg.

Time for one more large beer before my train to "Amsterdam Hamburg" departs. 🔥

Difficult choices were made... 😇

🇮🇹⏩🇦🇹 @ Brenner on board a train without border checks. Gotta love the EU!

Thank you for the ride, InterCity Notte!

Breakfast on board the InterCity Notte 1964 north of Pisa somewhere. And yes, that coffee is an Italian one - one sip and it's gone. 🤣

While not always going that fast, the views from the InterCity Notte from Palermo to Milan are pretty nice I have to admit. The overcast weather with low clouds and rain showers unfortunately hides the Mount Etna volcano from our view entirely. youtube.com/shorts/Se54x...

Ooh look what we have here!

Waiting for my train to pull into Palermo Centrale station.

This horsecart with, I suppose, a bunch of tourists is stuck in loud Palermo traffic. Honking is a sport here, but the horse seems unphased by it. youtube.com/shorts/eVjnM...

Catholic churches don't like me. Had the same thing happening in Hanoi lasi year. 😂

Okay. Thanks. I guess?

Pedestrian zones said to kill a city center. Is that true though? Here's another example that confirms the contrary: Palermo has a bustling downtown area that looks like this on a Thursday evening!

Nice one, Italy. Printing real tickets to get from the airport of Palermo to the city. Takes a while to print it, you need to stress test those pesky tourists, but then you get this. 🔥

I for sure don't hope someone lost the keys. This airport bus is probably a worse place to be in than any Ryanair jet. 😜

Quick lunch at Rome Fiumicino airport. Cheaper for the size you get compared Eindhoven airport. That's why I had breakfast at home before I left. 🤣

Long time no see.

Ooh hello, Pakistan-India War experts! Didn't know you were here all along. 😅

Temu in Euro country doesn't have that pesky 'tariffs' section. Hell, I can buy a tree for 31 eurocents!

Lol. wut.

Skyline of Eindhoven as seen from the south on this splendid summer weather day in the Netherlands. Recorded from Dommelplantsoen just north of the Boutenslaan.

Just tell Americans the tariffs they're now paying is just a tip to the federal government and all complaints will go away instantly!

Verrekt elastisch hydrofiel windsel dagge bent!

Whehe. Go MAGA, go broke.

Weather in the Netherlands is summer-ish. Tomorrow even better, before it's all fugged up on Sunday again. Not sure what I want to do, guess I'll test the new drone I might or might have not bought.

The flags (left to right) of the municipality of Valkenburg aan de Geul, the Netherlands and the province of Limburg against a backdrop of the castle ruin of Valkenburg.

Stolpersteine are unremarkable brass covered concrete blocks. They're scattered everywhere if you're looking for them. These three show that members of the Jacob's family, living here, were rounded up and brought to extermination cams over the span of a few years during the Second World War.

Cheers to another splendid Sunday in the Netherlands! #Valkenburg

Yummie! Just a cup of coffee and a piece of Limburgse vlaai. Aan de Linde lies directly along the Geul river in Valkenburg.

I love this section of Dutch trains. #stiltecoupe

Dammit. Forgot to put on sunscreen. Yes, you need that when it's 20°C with blue skies. Now I probably have to hide in a cave, Roman catacombs or a castle ruin.. Too bad!

*SIGH* I don't want a replacement bus when making a video about a train, so that's off the table for today.

Added another Dutch train station today. And a nice cycling trip to Kaatsheuvel via de Loonse en Drunense Duinen. 🔥

I see a pedestrian path with pedestrians, but pedestrians can't go there? 10 points if you know where this is.

When you're finished booking and paying for a flight, and the first alert you see is to contact a call center if you didn't get your tickets in 30 minutes. Have not seen that before, but yet Garuda Indonesia displays it as if they know it's a common problem.

Batik Air doesn't want my euro's I suppose...

Never say no to less russian weapons to be used on Ukraine and possibly NATO.

If you bought Tesla stock on 31 December 2020, you would have made exactly nothing, while inflation ate away your actual purchasing power.

Bald and Bankrupt back in Ukraine. Damn.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3HR...

It appears you can park your Fokker 100 there. #Breda

And that's the end of my streak of train rides in the Netherlands without technical problems. Made it to Tilburg from Eindhoven, that's at least something. 😂

CECOT (Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo) - the concentration camp in El Salvador where Trump's MAGAstapo sends people without trial, without due diligence and stripped of their basic rights.
