@timrichards IIRC, Bill Bryson's *Notes from a Small Island *contains a great deal of detail about his travels through the UK but absolutely no mention of any clothes washing.
I listened to it on a flight back from a longish holiday in Europe (where finding somewhere to do laundry was an important consideration), and it struck me as very odd.
These hot springs form strange rock formations flowing down the mountainside. But beware of the nearby cavern, as it emits poisonous gas. This once-thriving city is now abandoned, and its nearby necropolis lies silent. #travel#historyhttps://cromwell-intl.com/travel/turkey/pamukkale/?s=mc
Getting around in foreign cities is completely different now that Google Maps tells you how to work the public transport system, and you can pay with your debit card.
This ruined city along the south Turanian coast is a most pleasant port. A shrine on a nearby mountain has a flame that some claim is eternal. Perhaps so. It has burned continuously for millennia now, serving as a beacon for sailors. #travel#historyhttps://cromwell-intl.com/travel/turkey/olimpos/?s=mc
Travelling Stockholm - Hamburg - Cologne - Brussels for a two-day conference about public metal detecting. It'll take 24 hours, one third of which I'll spend asleep. It's the 2024 way to #travel.
Weird how when you say the word “Amazon” you no longer think of the jungle. When you tell people you are going to travel to the Amazon you have to explain yourself. #travel#travelphotography#amazon
A mad king of Commagene in eastern Turan built a mountaintop shrine to himself and his supposed ancestors, the deities of nearby nations. Some say he was overthrown for his blasphemy. Others say he was taken away one night by these elder gods. #travel#historyhttps://cromwell-intl.com/travel/turkey/nemrut-dagi/?s=mc
