Breakfast on the move (Paris to Brussels)

Here is the calm atmosphere of a Thalys train in the early morning.

In the North of Paris and towards Brussels, the sun is hidden behind the mist.

About the breakfast:

You can choose it sweet or savory. I chose the savory one, but it only has an impact on half of the menu.

Mine was:  ham and Comté cheese, whipped cream (which, surprisingly, goes very well with the ham and cheese), peach, orange juice, apricot jam and buttter to go with the bread. The classic pain au chocolat still warm, coffee with milk if needed, no sugar thanks.

A second chance is given to the traveller if he would like a second pain au chocolat or more coffee.

Breakfasts on the move 2 (Bangkok to Chiang Mai)

After only 24 hours spent in Bangkok, we took the night train to Chiang Mai, in the North of Thailand.

-> Bangkok train station at night with people sitting on the floor, waiting for their train to arrive.

In the train, from the lady who takes orders and delivers food to the passengers, we chose a dinner and a breakfast for the next day.

The next day, when she arrived with our breakfasts, she agreed to have her picture taken.

This wasn’t a good breakfast at all, and so far away from an Asian breakfast. No rice (I had actually had asked for a rice porridge but we misunderstood eachother) ! But buttery sandwiches made of white bread and ham, sliced apples, fake orange juice and weak hot drinks.

Still, it was entertaining to have it while going through the forest of the hilly North of Thailand.

-> Chiang Mai train station in the late morning.
