Posted on April 19th, 2008 in uncategorized
A few days a week I go roaming around Switzerland in trains with my portable traveller satiator.

Wait… You’re a trolley dolly? That’s amazing!
We’re driving through Switzerland this summer, in mid July – will have to get in contact with you before that and see if we can drop by.

Yip! armed to the teeth with sugary goodness and a Lavazza coffee machine.. extreeemly good coffee for a wee mobile thing!
Catching up in July would be class craic! You’re extremely welcome to drop in for visit..

Hey! Your rss feed seams to be a bit confused.
There was no activity on your blog and then the last 5ish articles appeared.
How far do you get to go with the trolley? Is it the same route every day or to you chop and change?
Bet you the coffee is better than the instant rubbish you get on trains here!

I think thats a little ping problem.. just have to make sure i ping properly.
Well.. on an average day its bern-basel*-bern-interlaken**-bern-basel*-bern-brig-bern (*=half an hours worth of break) so it’s pretty intense.. next month I’m a bit more in the lausanne-zürich-romanshorn axis. It’s kinda crazy working 12 hour shifts, but when you only do it two times a week then its not too bad.
The coffee is freshly pressed from lavazza coffee capules (do you know nespresso? kinda similar to that) using a coffee machine with a massive rechargable battery (which occassionally runs out.. hence the “not so trusty” label), but there’s no instant nonsense with me
I also a little tablet thingy with optical scanner, bluetooth, wifi, gprs/dialupand thermal printer.. the same hardware as the conductors get.. pretty funky wee thing – although I dare not play with it!
