Vienna. A garden. Another year gone. Plants, animals, vegetable, stories and more. A fascinating glimpse into a very green world. Nigel A. JAMES and Lisl Fischer.
This week we're taking a very slow train. We're in Hungary. On the train from Veszprem to Gyor. And this very slow train is very, very special. Hold on tight and listen to this very short story.
Diese Woche fahren wir mit einem sehr langsamen Zug. Wir sind in Ungarn. Mit dem Zug von Veszprem nach Gyor. Und dieser sehr langsame Zug ist etwas ganz Besonderes. Halten Sie sich gut fest und hören Sie sich diese kurze Geschichte an.
It was a very hot day when we took the train from Veszprem to Gyor. We were in Hungary. And, our short journey north was full of summer time fun. This very small train was packed full of families with kids. They were happy, excited, and on their home. And, there was noise. There was giggling, laughing and singing, and the sounds of kids chasing each other through the train. And, this giggling and laughing turned into incredible ear piercing screams each time the train went into a tunnel. Screams that lasted as long as the tunnels. And, there were very many tunnels on our route and some very long! There was, of course, much more than the noise. There was very much to see as we went on our very slow way. The Bakony, through which we were passing was pure natural beauty. Forest as far as the eye could see, rivers and streams, and colourful flora. A paradise for those who love nature. But, the hand of man was clearly visible, too. There was a very proud monastery that stood on a hill. Many small villages and churches. Farms with animals and tractors. And, even a castle that had seen many battles. And, this was the sense of the journey. Ancient and modern. Young and old and all having fun. All enjoying the ride. And, the train was the ride. The train, which we called the garden shed on wheels, was made up of 4 or 5 very small carriages. The seats which were plastic had seen better days, and the whole train needed a coat of fresh paint. But, none of this mattered. The train did the job and that was all that was needed. Fun doesn't need luxury. So, next time you have time, go down to Hungary and wait for the train. Gyor down to Veszprem and back. And, by the way, Gyor and Veszprem are well worth a visit as well. It was a very hot day when we took the slow train from Veszprem to Gyor. Eighty kilometres in three and a half very short hours. And, we enjoyed every minute. The train from Veszprem to Gyor. A very noisy ride on a hot summer's day.
