    As viagens de comboio sempre me fascinaram.
    Neste caso, com estes cenários Alpinos, foi de facto um trajecto maravilhoso.
    Obrigado pela partilha,
    Saludos

    Preciosas fotos y hermosos lugares.
    Me gusta veros con mascarilla en el tren, yo soy de los que siempre la llevaba hasta que cometí la torpeza de quitármela para la vuelta un viaje que hemos hecho a Alemania y la mala suerte me ha llevado a coger el covid.
    Suerte que llevo las 4 dosis y aún así me ha dejado chafado.
    ¡Me sigo maravillando con tus extensas vacaciones!
