Moving on from Menton

The train’s exterior (the pattern below is based on the region’s coat of arms)

The airport: Buildings

Sanremo is my favorite city in the world. The sea

A motorcycle is heavy and bulky. An electric scooter is light and compact

Ah, Genoa, the city of my childhood. It’s always nice to visit you

I came to Cherkizovo in Moscow Oblast to see the Afinsky-Kostryukov dacha, one of many Russian architectural treasures under threat of demolition

Some trees outside: A square: A bin: A train passing by

A bricky side-street: Attractive stones: Elaborately decorated gates

Wayfinding in the airport: A foldable table in a train

Having arrived in the UK for the first time in three and a half years, I recorded my first feelings

Bologna is home to many cicadas. They are everywhere: in the parks, next to homes, and in the city centre

I like to swim in lakes, not seas. But the Mediterranean Sea in Cap d’Ail is an exception

Suzdal is the most beautiful Russian town that I’ve been to so far

When I arrived at King’s Cross station, I smiled after a bus with an oat drink ad passed by

Lines on a circle-shaped square point to where the landmarks are. This kind of wayfinding is perfect for a lovely medieval village like Dolceacqua

I’m going to be in Genoa from June 27 to June 28, and perhaps a couple of other days in July
