matias, to maps

Are there any good software/websites that let you add notes to a map?
I'd like to write down notes of places in China where friends live or I have visited, to help me learn the geography.

Bit of confusion though - seems this might go only to Magyarbóly and I need a bus across the border… we’ll see (I’ve worked out a way by bike if I need it!)

Pécs-Külváros

Pretty sure no one got on or off here. Cool font though

Pécsbánya-Rendező

A hive of activity. But trees obscure the building

jon,
@jon@gruene.social avatar

Train manager comes by. Typical Central European rail dude. I speak no Hungarian, he speaks no English, he scans my pass and all is cool 😎

More than 80km/h on a Bzmot? This is exciting. And bumpy.

jon,
@jon@gruene.social avatar

Pécsudvard

More bus shelter than train station. A couple get on. The Bzmot’s engine scares a cat

Szőkéd

Brutalist station has seen better days. A dude with funky sunglasses gets on

Áta

A neat station building. A second track. But no people.

Kistótfalu

The tiny station was on the other side. So here’s what was on my side

Neatly painted hut

Never quite certain if the 4G will allow the photo to upload before the next station 🙂

Villánykövesd

An even better painted hut

Villány

This is where everyone was going. There’s even freight

Freight wagons

Magyarbóly

So yes the train did end here today. Then it’s a bus across the border… But it’s waiting.

The Bzmot I’ve just been on

jon,
@jon@gruene.social avatar

@strathearnrose here pretty much, yes!

#CrossBorderRail unexpected bus

Magyarbóly - Beli Manastir

This is border 211
Beli Manastir 🇭🇷 - Magyarbóly 🇭🇺

jon,
@jon@gruene.social avatar

Road borders around here are few. So the bus has to make a large detour - green line. Red is the train route.

jon,
@jon@gruene.social avatar

works here 🙂 No stop and no police at the border

@jon@gruene.social avatar

@jtwcornell91 oh that one tilts. Horrid thing.

These Macosa DMUs in Croatia might look ok outside, but they’re grim

The motors are insanely loud

Some have air con - a little less loud, but the air is very bad. This one doesn’t - air is better, but noise is deafening

Pro tip: the very front is the quietest there is. Still not great, but passable!
