Vienna

Riding around on the trams of Vienna while on a business trip for a couple of days in 2003 is a very good way to relax!

Croatia

The Dalmatian Coast

Cheap and cheerful - two weeks early spring sunshine with bracing walks in the mountains - and a bonus of trains in Split and some industrial relics in Krka.

The Cable Ingles

The Cable Ingles, a loading staithe for the local mines, was built in 1904 by the Alquife Mines and Railways Co. Ltd. using Scottish steel and fell into disuse in 1973. Luckily efforts have been made to preserve the structure

Almeria Station and loco yard

There is not a lot of activity in Almeiria any more, few trains and deserted loco depot, but it is still there, including traversers, a turntable, a preserved tank wagon and a collection of machinery including a small stationary steam engine. There are some good tiled walls inside the old station building, locked up and impossible to photograph.
