LISBON 27 OCTOBER 2013 - NEW IN ALFAMA - Luis Vieira

The latest interesting place at Alfama (Near Saint Castel).  Luis preferred inside, with this marvellous "replica" of Lisbon tram on line 28. You should´t miss in your next visit. (Lisbon was basking in sunny 24 degrees whilst we were battening down the hatches for the storm) which I hope you all survived unscathed. Kath

MESTRE TRANSLOHR 3 OCTOBER 2013

We had a free day in Venice and decided to visit Mestre Translohr in the evening.  Unfortunately it was dark when we arrived and finally found the tram.  It's town destination is the Railway Station, but it is not yet running there as the underpass it will go through is not yet finished.

A day trip to Trieste was taken, even though the tram line is not currently running.
We took the coach up the hill to a view point and while we were there this tram appeared on test running


We carried on up the hill to the depot and managed to get permission to go inside the depot area.

This car came out for a run too
