Pasta and Tiramisu course

Yesterday after having ridden round Trieste on a hop on hop off bus and then lunch, we walked to a nice flat for an evening's course in pasta making and tiramisu.

There were two other students (both Americans) of a similar age to us. Our hosts were a couple where the host was the cook and the hostess could speak English. The cook did however use Google translate to tell us what he was doing. 





This was arranged through TripAdvisor so I suppose it shouldn't be surprising that Americans would be heavily represented. Our two were very nice, and we had a very enjoyable evening. This was a very pleasant birthday present from Margaret, who just might get an electric pasta machine for Christmas!

We got home yesterday after nearly 6000km of train travel over almost three weeks away.  The sleeper worked fine in both directions, although you don't get a very good night's sleep.  Most places were interesting to visit.

We then got on a train for Norrköping and had an even longer wait there than we would have had in Stockholm. It was comforting to see that the competing Snälltåget was delayed by about 45 minutes, but ours was in time! I don't know if they made up that time or not, but we were about 30 minutes late arriving in Berlin.  There must be something big going on in Berlin at the moment because hotel rooms start at about 400 euros! We booked in Potsdam for less than half that, and have had a very nice day on a hop on hop off bus.  Potsdam is a very interesting city a bit bigger than Västerås, with history going back some hundreds of years with lots of kings, mostly called Fredri
