They’re open seven days a week everyday of the year from 11h30 am to midnight –Covid was probably the first time Bouillon Chartier had closed since the war. You’ll find mainstays on the menu that would have been on the menu in Napoleon times; it’s not gastronomy that will blow you away, we just enjoy their towering plates of fries, the cheese, a massive dessert and the great people-watching. The port of Rotterdam, the windmills of Kinderdijk, pottery in Delft, The Hague, plant auctions in Haarlem, cycling in Amsterdam, and the main hub of the Dutch railway network in Utrecht. The Latvian capital, Riga, the Singing Revolution at a ruined 13th century cathedral in Tallinn, ice swimming, the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius in Helsinki, and one of Finland's 180,000 lakes in Tampere. Bradshaw was born at Windsor Bridge, Pendleton, in Salford, Lancashire. On leaving school he was apprenticed to an engraver named Beale in Manchester, and in 1820 he set up his own engraving business in Belfast, returning to Manchester in 1822 to set up as an engraver and printer, principally of maps. [2]Portillo begins his journey in Palermo, capital of the Italian island of Sicily. Whilst visiting the Palazzo delle Poste government building he learns of its connection to fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. Portillo travels to the southern city of Agrigento, here he explores the ancient Greek Temple of Juno, the gateway to the Valley of the Temples. He then travels inland to Enna to visit the former Mafia stronghold of Gangi. In Syracuse, Portillo visits the controversial monolith - Monumento ai Caduti italiani d'Africa (Monument to the Italian Fallen of Africa). The final leg of the journey is to Mascali, to visit Europe's most active volcano, Mount Etna. Portillo travels the Ferrovia Circumetnea narrow-gauge railway to take in the magnificent vistas around the volcano, before taking the Funivia dell'Etna cablecar to the summit. The third series had six journeys, in one of which Portillo went further afield to travel on the railways in modern-day Israel. And, just like the second Mrs de Winter says in Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca, “Some people have the vice of reading Bradshaws. They plan innumerable journeys across country for the fun of linking up impossible connections.” Guilty as charged. Milligan, Edward H. (2007). British Quakers in Commerce & Industry 1775-1920.
