in Russian there's кровать, постель and койка. Meaning bed, bedding and a bed you get in a hospital (so, I guess, a berth). I'm not sure койка is used for railways though, it's been more than six years since I've travelled on any railway where Russian language was in use in any capacity besides toilet safety notices 😄

Very sadly, it’s not a direct van, as originally planned, but a regular logistics forwarder. Which means I was unable to use the inbuilt super stable four-point stand: the #bakfiets had to be leant against the side of the lorry instead.

How to package a #Bakfiets? Very slowly and very painfully, especially if your office/shop/showroom is on the first floor. This one’s currently travelling to a customer in Croatia.

Fun fact: most of the packaging material I used was recycled from whatever packages I’ve received. The only exception are two rolls of cling film (I had to start the second as the first one’s got stuck), some sellotape and a bunch of cable ties.

So, instead I went to Cegléd by bus to try to catch the last connection to Bratislava via Hegyeshalom. Unfortunately, the train's got delayed too, which pushed my planned arrival home to 0:44.
I then took a bus from Kelenföld — but, alas, it's also got delayed by 45 minutes.
I have finally arrived home around half past midnight.

2025-10-20T13:13:42Z

Total meltdown in Budapest. I needed to go to Tápiószele (direction Szolnok), but since there was no sight of the train, I thought I'd board the train to Nagykáta, which is two stations earlier.
That was a smart decision, as this train, although delayed, did run, whereas the train to Szolnok was eventually cancelled.

Cycled across the city to get the COVID booster jab, and was faster than if I went by public transport: 32 min vs 39 or 44. Also, it turned out 9°C is not too cold to cycle in a knee-length skirt (without leggings or tights). The last ten minutes of the ride were unnecessarily noisy and smelly though.

Louvain-la-Neuve is an interesting and quite beautiful car-free town. Built to primarily support the university, it's not all about the university and still has the things you would expect from a regular town. Except cars — you will only find them at the town’s perimeter, or underneath the main square where a major road passes in a tunnel.
