If you'd like to refresh your COVID and influenca vaccinations this year, the German RKI says that October to mid-December is a good time to get them!

In #Hamburg, I can still recommend https://www.impfzentrum-hamburgcity.de: Quick appointments, friendly staff, no questions asked.

@daniel_bohrer making of o

A device that "swaps your ears", to mess with your perception! Feels extremely disorienting when someone's talking next to you!

Cool exhibits at the Exploratorium (a hands-on science museum), which I hadn't seen before:

A high-precision scale that allows you to watch the evaporation of water, at a rate of 0.0001 grams every couple of seconds!

Rented a bike yesterday, and took it over the Golden Gate Bridge!

It was extremely foggy, which added a nice "edge of the world" atmosphere...

Hey fedi swarm intelligence! What food should I try in San Francisco's Chinatown? ⛩️

@jana

Climbed up all the hills in San Francisco yesterday! Didn't expect the city to be this three-dimensional! Love it!

What amazes me most is the interesting vegetation on the West Coast! Many of these plants I've never seen before!

More cool plants!!

I didn't notice this at first, but under the ceiling, there's a ready-made fold-down bed, with straps to make sure you don't fall out!

And the lower seats also can be collapsed flat, and there's an extra mattress to put on top; so this room can be used by two people!

~ End of the room tour ~

I feel a bit like in a space ship! The room is compact and functional, but I really like it.

What I don't have here is a toilet – there are shared toilets and showers in the hallway. I'll report! And I also have the rest of the train to explore!

We have just crossed the Mississippippi River, which marks the state border between Illinois and Iowa! The train went extra slow, not sure whether for safety reasons or for photo op reasons! :P

Slept really well! Woke up in Denver, Colorado, where we're making an hour-long refueling stop!

Took a shower in one of the little shower cabins!

And decided to go on a little walk. You can already see the Rocky Mountains from here!!

Let's hope that I don't miss my train! 😅

Headed into the mountains now!

Impressive to see how quickly the Great Plains gave way to this very different kind of landscape! :O
