Repsol is the king of petrol stations imo.

also those french ones where they have buffets of pizza and sausages and fries.

Italian ones where they’ll have like a Burger King, but also an old man in a corner making a risotto.

I had the worst coffee of my life at this Sonic on I-35. However, also on I-35 but on the Northbound side there is an incredible, incredible convenience store/service station which I can’t find right now but it was basically a huge cabin of tasty American delights with a salad bar and everything, absolutely wonderous when you’re dog tired. Huge fridge of amazing, ice-cold drinks.

Thing I’ve seen in Slovakia and Switzerland- local cheese vending machines.

(This photo is from Bratislava bus terminal last Feb- a place I have spent far, far too much time in)

Clearly Texas is good for this stuff

Ones in the middle of the desert in Morocco that are like someone’s house with some petrol pumps outside, where if you’re getting a cross-country bus, they’ve cooked a massive dinner timed for your stop off that you can buy.

The toilets however will be squat ones and have worryingly huge cockroaches.

First hole in the ground toilet I ever saw was in a service station near Amiens. I was mesmerised

#19

Advanced mode - one on a train in Japan that was up little steps, and being female, you have to squat 100% of the time…

Quintessential French motorway aire:

Picnic tables under some trees full of blossom and/or cicadas, with a panoramic view and general idyllic air, until you venture in to the toilets.

It’s also not a Spanish motorway station if it doesn’t have a huge Chupa Chups display

Service station toilets in China look like this. Traumatising.

Also copies of ¡Hola! with a cover story about this guy, no matter how uninteresting whatever he’s done is

Think we stopped at literally every one we saw for fear that there wouldn’t be another for a few hundred miles. There were a load of “towns” along the border between Big Bend and Del Rio that were literally just 4 houses (two abandoned) and a Stripes service station.
