Som vanligt har jag knappast en aning

Men jag ser fram emot rapporter från vår chefredaktör när han är ute och reser

Man tackar för den smickrande tituleringen!

Men gammaldags som jag är, meddelar jag mig endast genom vykort, när jag reser – ingen annan kontakt under resan.

När jag kommer hem borde jag däremot kunna rapportera såväl från en kryssning med Hurtigrutens SPITSBERGEN från Bergen till skotska öar, Manx, Belfast och Glasgow, en fram-och-åter-resa med Corsica Ferries Toulon - Mallorca som från en flodkryssning med LOIRE PRINCESSE på Loire - såvida jag inte testar covid19-positivt när jag skall gå ombord på SPITSBERGEN, för då går hela resan åt helvete......

Jag önskar en trevlig och säker resa!

This picture looks like Wittower Fähre in North Rügen, just before 1994, until when both previous train ferries “Wittow” (1896) and “Bergen” (1911, initially named "Jasper von Maltzahn", which apparently replaced older ferry “Jasmund”) operated.

Narrow gauge (750mm) train route Bergen auf Rügen - Altenkirchen was active with connecting ferries between 1896-1968.

Inner gauge for vechicles on board the ferry max ca 3 m (extrnal width ca 5.4-5.8m?).

Wishing you a great trip!

Couldn't be more correct! Picture taken in 1993.

Bildgåta 7 – kanalbildgåta 1

Hvilken kanal i hvilket landskap?

Göta Canal in Tåtorp, in the centre of Central Sweden

The direction of the picture is towards the east, coming from lake Vänern and just before arriving to lake Viken.
It seems to be pretty much the highest point of Göta canal.

I would guess the picture was taken from the bridge of MS Wilhelm Tham (1912)? Picture from the ‘80s?

Incredible! Tåtorp, yes, highest point, yes, taken from the bridge deck of the WILHELM THAM, yes, but to the aft, så we had just left Viken, 1982, yes. Och landskapet är således Västergötland.

Hvilken kanal i hvilket land? (Här godkänns tre alternativ för land)

“Ser ut som Rysland (river boats, vegetation, glass frames), but it’s too neat and clean,” was the first impression of seeing the picture.

But there exists a canal that fits to both conditions: Saimaa canal between Saimaa lake and Vyborg. Situated in Karelia, built during the 19th century Tzar times, rented in full length by Finland and widened during Soviet Union times.

The picture seems to be taken in the Särkijärvi/Iskrovka lock, looking towards the east. Perhaps during early 90’s (or late 80’s)?

There’s a pretty cool video of travelling the canal (the lock in the picture is at 0:33 of the total 1min:38sec video length):
