Det andre kortet viser et av verdens hurtigste tog, som går i Frankrike. TGV står for ”train de grande vitesse” som oversatt til norsk betyr høyhastighets tog. Det har en marsjfart på ca.320 km.t., men i april i år kjørte en ny type TGV i 547 km.t (!) noe som er verdensrekord. NSB har langt igjen til slike reisetider, og topografien i Norge er nok slik at det ikke er mulig. Men med slike toghastigheter er det vel ikke å forundres over at toget snart har tatt over for innenriksfly i Frankrike.
The first postcard shows the steamer/wheelboat that goes on the inlandslake called “Mjøsa”. The boat is very popular in the summertime and so are the dinnermenu: salmon and strawberries. The second postcard shows the french highspeed train “TGV” (train de grande vitesse). The normal speed is 200 mp/h / 320 km/h, but in april this year a special TGV train reached 357 mp/h / 547 km/h, that makes it a worldrecord. No wonder the French travel more by train than airplane on the inlandroutes in France.

Salmon and strawberries, my favourite foods. I'm sure it is a wonderful trip to take.
I haven't been on the TGV but I've been on the shinkansen high speed trains in Japan. Very smooth and very fast, but not so fast as this new one.
Thanks for coming by to visit

I agree - I love the idea of that dinner menu. I'd love to take the trip.
Looking forward to seeing more of your collection.
